Weather Alert: Wind Advisory for DC Area After Tornado Warning
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/weather-alert-intense-wind-cold-front-follow-flood-watch-for-dc-area/2212025/
Severe weather is rippling across parts of the D.C. area, downing trees and power lines and spurring alerts about thunderstorms with tornado risks.
A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect in parts of Prince George's County. Other earlier severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings have subsided.
Downed trees and wires have been reported in some areas. Montgomery County officials have received reports about traffic light outages and fallen trees and wires. Never try to cross a fallen wire.
One person reported severe weather passing through Leesburg, Virginia, and came outside to find the storm knocked over a tree and a fence.
More Leesburg residents have shared on social media that they saw a tornado. Neither Storm Team4 nor the National Weather Service have yet confirmed that a tornado touched down. Stay with News4 for the latest.
A previous tornado warning in parts of Howard County, Montgomery County and Frederick County in Maryland has ended. But be on alert for more severe weather that could later impact the D.C. area.
Damaging winds will cause some tree branches to fall, the National Weather Service says. Power outages have been reported.
Even those outside the tornado and severe thunderstorm warning zone may have weather worries. Thick fog, rain and thunderstorms may hamper your morning commute before an intense wind kicks up this afternoon and temperatures plummet.
A wind advisory is set to begin around 9 a.m. as a cold front moves in.
Storm Team4 declared Friday a weather alert day. Remember, never drive through a flooded roadway. Turn around, don't drown.
