Heat indices through Thursday (likely Friday as well); hottest area will be between Ashland and D.C., west to Charlottesville. Reminder not to leave pets in vehicles even with the window cracked! #RVA #Virginia #DC #Maryland

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 28

This heavy storm cell is moving south-southeast towards Colonial Heights/Petersburg and Hopewell, bringing heavy rainfall rates with it. I expect we’ll see additional flash flood warnings soon further south of Richmond.

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 27

A few smaller storms may make their way into western Henrico and western Chesterfield in the next 30 to 35 minutes if they hold together

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 27

Dangerous heat later this week, triple digits Thursday and Friday east of the mountains, from central North Carolina northward to D.C. #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx

A few more storms out there from Stafford southwest to Louisa and Palmyra, moving slowly east-northeast. Probably will bring some showers to Goochland and western Hanover and Caroline counties in the next hour or so.

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 26

Severe thunderstorm warning for Dahlgreen and northeast King George County and extending eastward just south of La Plata #Maryland; wind gusts to 50 mph and hail possible

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 26

Our first storms of the day have arrived on scene between Winchester and Culpepper, moving slowly east towards Warrenton and Brandy Station. Nothing severe at the moment. Additional storms will likely pop up around western and central #Virginia this afternoon/evening.

This appears to be a **weather radar image** showing a line of thunderstorms moving across parts of northern and central **Virginia**, including areas around Front Royal, Warrenton, and the Shenandoah Valley.

Key features visible:

* **Green areas** indicate light rain.
* **Yellow and orange areas** indicate moderate to heavy rain.
* **Red and dark red areas** indicate very heavy rainfall and stronger storm cores.
* The **white “+” symbols** near the center of the image likely mark recent **lightning strikes**, suggesting active thunderstorms.
* The most intense storms are concentrated:

* Near **Sperryville** and **Washington, VA**
* Extending eastward toward **Warrenton**
* Another strong cluster is near **Shenandoah National Park** and **Stanley**.
* Areas farther east, such as **Manassas**, **Gainesville**, and **Ashburn**, appear mostly free of precipitation at the moment shown.

Overall, the image depicts a broken line of strong thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning moving through the Shenandoah Valley toward the east-southeast. Such radar signatures can be associated with localized downpours, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and possibly small hail in the strongest cells.

Mid-Atlantic Weather@dmvweather· Jun 23

More rain headed our way later this morning through late afternoon, but not likely to see severe weather this time, except perhaps over southeast #Virginia (Suffolk, Williamsburg, etc.) where there’s been no cloud cover so far.
