Haven’t had enough of the severe weather we’ve been experiencing over the last several days? The National Weather Service says more of it is already upon us. A severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch have both been issued until 8 p.m. A line of storms are now approaching western Frederick, Loudoun and Fauquier counties, and will move through the metro area over the next few hours.

From the Capital Weather Gang:

The Storm Prediction Center says hail to 2 inches in diameter, thunderstorm wind gusts to 70 mph, and dangerous lightning are possible. The most likely timing for severe storms in the metro area is between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. — although storms may continue after that time.

The worst of the storm will hit the Dulles and Herndon areas. People in those areas are being advised to move away from windows and take cover. Flash flooding is also possible.
