PW County had a big red spot when I posted. That has moved on.

I've got NOAA weather radio on now, on a Bearcat BC278CLT. The storm is headed into SE DC and PG County.

Be prepared for bad weather -- buy a NOAA Weather Radio!

Baltimore-Washington Forecast Office broadcasts over 8 transmitters:
Baltimore (Pikesville) MD -- KEC-83 on 162.400 MHz at 1000 Watts
Hagerstown (Clear Springs) MD -- WXM-42 on 162.475 MHz at 1000 Watts
Manassas (Independence Hill) VA -- KHB-36 on 162.55 MHz at 1000 Watts
Moorefield WV -- WXM-73 on 162.400 MHz at 500 Watts
Frostburg MD -- WXM-43 on 162.425 MHz at 300 Watts
Charlottesville (Covesville) VA -- KZZ-28 on 162.450 MHz at 1000 Watts
Washington DC -- WNG-736 on 162.450 MHz at 300 Watts (fully commissioned as of June 6, 2011)
Fredericksburg VA -- WZ-2527 on 162.425 MHz at 300 Watts

I thought all this time I was listening to KHB-36, but the display says 162.4500 MHz. It must simulcast KHB-36.

Skywarn has been activated. There's a webinar in Charlottesville in a few weeks.
