possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia. larry: something we are just getting in the newsroom now. new video of the first intercept launch of its kind since 2014. this missile knocked down a match war -- a mach war head. this does not confirm it's capable of defending itself against an intercontinental range missile which is fired by north korea. this just means that it is able to intercept the missile. whether it could work is what they want to know. there is a warning after somebody left two bottle bombs on a trail. they found them in clarksburg. it had a mixture to explode that would send caustic mixture in all directions. if you see look like this, get away from it and give police a call.

doug: doug hill live in the stormwatch7 weather center with steve rudin. tornado warning for another 20 minutes now. just south of berryville and headed southeast at 30 miles per hour. most of the worst of the storm is north but there is the friend right there. steve: one thing we should talk about is the blue ridge. right here. we don't usually zoom in this closely to see topography but this is clear where it is and it will clash with that and have some impact on the actual storm itself to he weaken it a bit. doug: if there is an about watt tornado stretching 80 o to 90 o feet down from the cloud base it will have affect but now there is a hook that is starting to diminish. the influence of that and on our side, eastern side of this we have had the cooler air mass. let's turn the camera to swing to the right. let's walk to the bigger picture and talk about this. to give a big picture view, this is an area of this heavy rain that

and the east of berryville through clark county to jefferson county west virginia. this is moving southeast at 30 miles per hour. it's out of the warning area in 20 to 20 minutes or so, so there are towns in the path. >> bluemont and airmont until 6:30. 13, 15 minutes to go. until it moves through. another thing to note even though the tornado warning and it's a small area this is a prolific lightning maker. we have a lot of lightning strikes out there with the gusty winds and the heavy downpours. it can make it hard to see a tornado. doug: something i am noticing here is in the past 15 minutes watch the number of the lightning strikes and how quickly they diminish. that is a good sign. watch this from the blue ridge and a different air mass on the other side of the blue rage where it is cloudy and cool. that will have an effect -- ou

lie, it should have an effect on knocking this done. within a larger area downstream there is a severe thunderstorm warning in effect. >> this is it. this is the one that goes from warrenton. i'm blocking the time stamps here. silver hill at this time. dale city is 6: 1. stafford at 6:42. white water at 6:50. the storm is moving east/southeast at 30 miles per hour. this has a lot of lightning and hail with it. steve: also notice how the lightning beginning to diminishing moving in the boundary. that is more cloudy. we have been talking about it all afternoon in the morning hours and it's cloudy. soupy out there. we knew it was going to help prevent the development of the stronger storms over the immediate metro area. where they had the sun around charlottesville and culpeper -- >> made a big difference. steve: can temperatures shot up to lower 80's in a short period of time so it is allowing the storms to blossom now. doug: the severe thunderstorm

area had we broke into more sun shifted to pennsylvania and new york state. enough heat and sun to the west it's coming east. they will diminish. goldvain in three minutes. bell fair crossroads, david crossroads shortly after. dumfries 6:42. round route 1. 6:44 for stanford. steve: they are moving at a relatively swift rate. they are not moving around 10 miles per hour. it's about 30 miles per hour. good truck to it. doug: two cells. this is diminishing in strength now. still a possibility -- have we seen anything where the m.w.s. canceled that or is there still a warning? we'll check into that. this is visually the heavier storm. with rain and lightning but that is an issue. steve: severe thunderstorm warning for loudoun county and clark and jefferson county until 7

another 45 minutes to go. this is brand new. just about to pop in, i believe, there it is. doug: just up. north of 50 here and it extends east and west of loudoun county and beyond. new times for you for purcellville at 6:28. leesburg at 6:43. lenna at 6:59. steve: this cell is moving toward the southwest at around 25 miles per hour. sorry. southeast. my bad. southeast. doug: this is moving this way. that is it. the skies cleared to the west. steve: it's interesting to see what happens once it gets closer to leesburg and in toward fairfax area. how the storms will likely, likely as you mention fall apart. or at least diminish in intensity in terms of the severe weather. doug: call it stratifying. go from thunderstorms to flatten out and just be rainstorms with overhead thunder

convection. i would be shocked right now if it kept the intensity all the way across 95 to southern maryland. so the tornado warning has been canceled. we saw evidence of that. of the notch and everything going away so stand down a bit. still severe thunderstorm warning downstream here for a while longer. still have lightning and hail possibilities, especially hail right now on the doppler radar. there is plenty of lightning to the north east and toward brunswick in washington county, maryland. so that one is we are watching now and the southern one, too. no reports of any tornado or high wind issues particularly with that cell. lightning and rained -- and hail as well. steve: rush hour, 95 is super business this time of day and -- super busy this time of day. if you are expecting anyone traveling 95 from triangle or dale city this is what is likely to move your way and will likely slow traffic down significantly in the next hour or so.

be on the lookout. if you are watching in triangle or outside and see a window facing due west this is what you see and what is headed your way. the skies probably look ominous and dark to the west. a lot of lightning. finds shelter. the kids still practicing after school or in the evening hours make sure they come inside. the bigger story is gusty winds and lightning. doug: stay with us. you stay there and we'll stay here and be back with a couple more minutes and update the

fair amount of the lightning. not the electrical energy a half hour ago. still a potent storm. it's not far southeast of warrenton. good size hail. quarter-size hail we saw in a note we received a few minutes ago. this system heading southeast at a good clip. if you are downstream to stafford, that is what you will expect to encounter in the next 45 minutes or so. most of the action shifted north and the forecast overnight. the rain will end and we have fog by morning. nice stretch of days ahead. check the next ten out. more storms tomorrow. near 80. 8 o on thursday. friday is 82. friday will stay dry. the chance of rain comes at night. saturday is warmer, afternoon storms. lakelihood of showers and storms on sunday. it will settle down tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday next week. sunshine and temperatures in the 70's.
