The National Weather Service just issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning that covers all of Arlington, D.C. and surrounding areas. Expect wind and rain instead of lightning and thunder with the line of storms now entering Arlington.

The storm threat for Arlington is not over, but it hasn’t amounted to much so far.

A brief downpour just breezed through the county, around when elementary schools were letting out early due to the severe weather risk.

The earlier Winter Storm Watch for Arlington and the D.C. area is now a Winter Storm Warning.

The National Weather Service issued the warning just after 10 a.m., predicting that this weekend’s storm will drop 7-14 inches of snow and sleet. Freezing rain is also looking likely, with the ice potentially causing tree damage and power outages.

A Flash Flood Watch was just issued for Arlington, Falls Church and surrounding areas, including D.C.

A line of storms with exceptionally heavy downpours is approaching the area from the west. Flash flooding is expected to begin shortly after its arrival.

Update at 5 p.m. — More than 11,000 homes and businesses are without power in Arlington and Falls Church in the wake of the storm.

Earlier: Take cover now — a line of strong storms with a history of damaging winds is approaching Arlington.

It’s a cold morning and it’s going to get even colder tomorrow, prompting a Freeze Warning from the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to dip into the upper 20s overnight Tuesday in Arlington and the D.C. area, potentially killing sensitive vegetation and freezing unprotected outdoor pipes.


Weather

The earlier Red Flag Watch for the area has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning.

Arlington and much of the D.C. region is at high risk of outdoor fires today due to a combination of low humidity, drought conditions and gusty winds, the National Weather Service says.
