Update at 2:15 p.m. — On top of everything else, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was just issued for the region, through 9 p.m. Severe storms packing damaging winds are possible later today (Saturday), with some Severe Thunderstorm Warnings already in effect west of the immediate D.C. area.

It’s going to be hot, hazy and moderately unhealthy to be outside today (Thursday).

The National Weather Service just issued a Heat Advisory, starting at 11 a.m. and remaining in effect until 8 p.m. tonight. That’s on top of the earlier Code Orange air quality alert, amid the sweltering weather and smoke from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota.

The hottest stretch of the year is almost here.

A heatwave with temperatures near and into the triple digits kicks off Wednesday and it has already prompted a Heat Advisory and an Extreme Heat Watch from the National Weather Service.

As if it wasn’t humid enough already, Thursday will be even more sweltering as temperatures rise this afternoon.

A Heat Advisory has been issued for Arlington. That means hazardous conditions for those working outside and no outdoor recess for Arlington Public Schools students.

Members of Arlington’s Disability Advisory Commission argue that they could do more good by being an integral part of creating properties, not just reviewing them.

“We feel a frustration dealing with the county’s current planning process,” said Commissioner Bryant Atkins.

Members of a county advisory panel are seeking more specifics on how Arlington’s energy initiatives stack up against localities across the region.

The goal is to “try and compare [county efforts] to what our neighbors are doing,” said Elizabeth Whitney, who chairs the Arlington Energy Committee, at an April 8 meeting.

A Winter Weather Advisory has officially been issued for Arlington and much of the D.C. area, ahead of Sunday’s expected storm.

The National Weather Service is currently predicting 2-4 inches of snow accumulation. The flakes will mostly fall Sunday night and early Monday, with temperatures dipping below freezing after a cold rain for most of the day.
