Update: Not Out of the Woods Yet
Chance of storms continues overnight
*Tornado Watch remains in effect until 1 a.m.*
The latest round of storms has moved east and south of the metro area. Another batch of storms, which may or may not hold together, is coming from the west out of West Virginia, and other storms may develop separate from this area. Bottom line: A few more storms are possible overnight. And a couple could be strong, even severe, despite the loss of daytime heating.
Monitor our Severe Weather Tracking Station below for current radar and severe warnings as they are issued by the National Weather Service. See our full forecast into next week, which includes some serious heat.

And to follow up...given the scale of the event, the fact it was a single bow, and pretty much along (or south) of a stationary boundary, I think you can call it a progressive derecho.

4:30 am - still without power in Leesburg. Last weekend's shopping (over $250.00 in groceries) now spoiled. To top this whole thing off I have come down with the dreaded summertime cold.

I got so sick of the weather radio alarm going off, I just shut the thing off. I live in a basement, where am I gonna to be safer if, god forbid, a tornado comes? I had a headache (thank you high humidity and rapid changes in weather) and bar study starts today. Sleep was a tad more important.
Hope everyone came through as safely as possible.

Maybe if we all chant, "Stop! Stop! Stop!" together, it will stop.
