00:00Now, we're going to start off a little further south, far northern Virginia.

00:04That's where we have a tornado warning.

00:06It's our first of the evening into New York State.

00:08We had several tornado warnings earlier this afternoon,

00:10but not since we've been on the air starting at 4 p.m.

00:14So let's zoom in a little bit more here.

00:17I wanted to kind of orient exactly where we are before we really zoomed into this one isolated cell

00:22that is leading to this tornado warning.

00:24You can see it's kind of out ahead of exactly where the cell is at this point.

00:28I'll turn on the loop just so you can see how it's really strengthened over the last hour here,

00:33over several radar scans.

00:35So specifically, this is for Loudoun County, Virginia, there, right along the line with Maryland.

00:41You have the state border right there.

00:43That's really our only severe threat right now, and it's a relatively small area there.

00:49But certainly, if you're in that area, you know anyone in that area,

00:52you want to make sure you are taking your immediate tornado precautions and getting to a safe location.

00:56As we look farther to the north, there's not even that much lightning.

01:00We have some lightning into Delaware with one cell there,

01:03but this line of thunderstorms, really only a few strikes of lightning,

01:07enough to cause some issues at some airports, even recent thunderstorms.

01:11But overall, it's beneficial rainfall, especially farther to the north into somewhere like Maine.

01:16I do want to zoom out a little bit, and I want to turn on our storm reports

01:19because we have had some severe thunderstorm warnings that have led to some damaging wind reports.

01:23We've also had some flash flooding that has popped up.

01:26I want to start with this report actually coming in from eastern Virginia.

01:30A tree fell on a UPS truck near an intersection of two roads.

01:35This was right around 420.

01:37Certainly a dangerous situation there.

01:38Hopefully, everyone is okay.

01:40And then we have the flash flooding reports.

01:42Even a road flooded out in Rhode Island there.

01:45Expect to see maybe some more flash flooding reports as we go throughout the rest of the evening

01:48as we pick up several inches of rainfall.
