WASHINGTON 鈥� After a few days of calm sunshine, severe weather returned to the D.C. area on Tuesday afternoon.

A band of strong thunderstorms brought gusty winds, lightning and heavy downpours into the region.

After 11 p.m., the National Weather Service lifted a flood warning that had been issued for D.C., parts of Montgomery and Prince George’s county in Maryland, and parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Arlington counties in Virginia, along with the city of Fairfax and Falls Church.

The severe warnings for the immediate counties close to Washington expired earlier Tuesday night.

The National Weather Service expects drier weather the rest of this week.
