The storms haven’t even arrived yet but there’s already a power outage in Arlington.
About 1,000 Dominion customers are without power in the Ballston area due to an “equipment problem,” according to the power company’s website.
Among those reported to be at least partially in the dark are Arlington Central Library, which announced shortly after noon that it is closed for the day, and Washington-Liberty High School.
As of noon, Dominion is estimating restoration between 2-7 p.m.
Updated: Due to a power outage, Central Library is closed Monday, March 16.
As a precaution for the severe weather forecast today, all other libraries will close early at 5 p.m. pic.twitter.com/Le2XSr9TyM
