The National Weather Service upgraded its severe weather risk from "slight" to "enhanced" for the entire WTOP listening area concerning Friday's storms, which are likely to impact early evening commute.

The D.C. area got another taste of spring storms Friday, and they didn’t stick around long enough to really impact the Friday evening commute.

Be advised, however, that portions of the area will be under a wind advisory through 3 p.m. Saturday.

Severe thunderstorm warnings had been issued for a good portion of the area earlier Friday afternoon, and a tornado warning was even issued at one point for portions of Montgomery County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia.

Pea-sized hail had been reported in Rockville, Maryland, and a wind gust of 63 mph was reported at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.

Downed trees were also reported in the area. In Prince George’s County, Maryland, the Fire and EMS Department responded to three homes where trees had fallen. Two adults at one home, they said, were displaced but unhurt.

Also in the area, downed wires prompted a scare involving a school bus that was carrying students from Catherine Reed Elementary in Goddard. Prince George’s firefighters held the special-needs students on the bus until Baltimore Gas and Electric crews arrived to confirm that the wires touching the bus were de-energized.

A large tree was down on Lanham-Severn Road near 98th Avenue in Bowie, Maryland, Friday afternoon following the storms.
