a line of storms move through and that is going to effect everyone. right now we have three severe thunderstorm warnings in effect. we have one down towards fredericksburg. stafford county. another one around leesburg. severe thunderstorm warning there. then the one that spawned a tornado right along route 9 around martinsburg. let's see what this is. i knew this was coming. a tornado warning now in effect for the spotsylvania county area around fredericksburg. stop that for me. hit the now button there. look at what's going on around fredericksbu fredericksburg. a tornado warning now in effect for spotsylvania county. it does include the city of fredericksburg. i'm going to zoom on in here, but i think it will go just down to the west of fredericksburg. i don't think fredericksburg will be in this, but it is until 5:45. and this storm right now really a classic storm as far as the

storm. what we're looking at here, you've got the storm here. this is where the hail is right here. then you have the possible tornado moving through. this is culpeper county. you can see the extreme eastern portions of culpeper. if you live along culpeper and spotsylvania county border, that's where the tornado is right now. it is going to cross over route 3 in the next 20 minutes. this is where your hail core is. then you've got the tornado. everything to the east is just high cloudiness and rain. that's what we're seeing to the east around the i-95 area. let's see what you've got here. culpeper county, fauquier, spotsylvania, stafford county until 5:45 for that tornado warning. this is going to continue on down to the south and east. how fast is that moving?

make sure we're reading those guys. this is moving at about 35 miles per hour. chancellor at 5:15 and bellevue at 5:25. i don't think this is going to be that close to fredericksburg. here's the possible tornado right here. this is going to move straight down to the south and east hopefully missing fredericksburg. that's something we're going to be watching too, but we have seen already numerous tornado warnings with these lines of storms. we saw one with this storm. we saw three or four with this storm. now we have one down around fredericksburg. severe thunderstorm warning for jefferson county, loudoun county. these until 5:30. leesburg, just south and west, severe thunderstorm warning. here's harper's ferry. we're going to show you that storm in the next c

minutes. another storm forming just south of martinsburg. down to the south, this is the one we've been watching. severe thunderstorm warning, but now a tornado warning. i cannot stress this enough. if you're in spotsylvania county, get in an interior room. get away from the windows. make sure the kids are inside. even if you're not hearing the storm just yet, this is a strong storm, a tornadic storm. no tornado reported just yet. this is most likely doppler radar indicated. it is a classic tornado shot possible with this storm. a tornadic supercell moving on through here. this is just the start of things to come here. notice back to the west what we've got. now we're starting to see these individual storms become a line of storms. that line of storms is going to move very fast. just about every county ahead of this line now has a severe thunderstorm warning or a tornado

the severe thunderstorm warnings are in the yellow. tornado warnings are in the red. i'm going to show you how far away this is. this storm is going to be with us -- let's go ahead and time it out here. i want to time this out as it moves down to the south and east. about 150 miles. i'm going to change this around. i want to see exactly how long that's going to take. we're talking about 9:00, 10:00 tonight. that's what i think is going to be happening here. let's take a look at the eta as we move this at about 40 miles per hour. eck this out. this is where this storm is now. it is going to move our way in about three and a half to four hours. we're talking right around the 9:00 hour. i want to read you the warning from the national weather service on the storm in and

county, the city of fredericksburg, culpeper, spotsylvan spotsylvania, and fauquier county until 5:45. this storm will have the potential for a tornado and hail. if you're in the direct path of this tornado, this is directly from the national weather service. make sure you get inside. those caught without shelter. damage to roofs and siding. tree damage is likely. this dangerous storm will be near fredericksburg around 5:20 in about 15 minutes. i do think it will go to the west of that. say that one more time for me, april. yeah, we do have some pictures of these storms as a matter of fact. there it is right there. there's exit 16 on 81. that is the tornado that was making its

the martinsburg area. this one, caught the tornado warned supercell while flying into dulles. look at that storm. you can really tell the top of that storm. blue skies above it, but that storm is a supercell thunderstorm for sure making its way on down towards the region. that's what we continue to watch. the severe thunderstorm warning for that area, the tornado warning both go until 5:45. it was 5:45 making its way down towards fredericksburg. i still think this will move east of fredericksburg. fredericksburg, you're getting the rain now. you're getting the lightning now. you're getting the thunder now. but the tornado portion of the storm is back to the west. i think this will move down to your south and west. please make sure you take precautions on this because this is something we're going to be watching for the rest of the night tonight. watch out for the hail. watch out for the wind. this storms back to the west, a line

developed. this will most likely actually start to increase in speed. right now it is moving at about 35, 40 miles per hour. it will start to pick up at about 50 miles per hour over the next couple of hours. that's why our entire region is in that severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00 tonight. there's the storm. now i'm looking at a really good hook echo right here. let's zoom in a little bit closer. just southwest of hartwood. not a lot of population in this area. as we go on toward the south and east, this is culpeper county right here. this is spotsylvania county. this is right along the river too as it moves on down. the stronger storms still back to the west. i'm going to go to lauren ck

rickets for just a minute. continue to zoom on in and show us that radar. >> we continue to see this storm. we're really watching this storm just around fredericksburg. we've been doing wtop radio. anyone from exit 126 to 133, that's where we're seeing the heaviest rain and just right along route 17. we have that tornado warning until 5:45. these storms will continue to the move to the east at 25 miles an hour. we have a flash flood watch pretty much for everybody. that goes until tomorrow morning. we have not only this cluster of storms around fredericksburg and leesburg. look at that. route 7, route 9 really been getting pounded. if your traves

this area of route 7 towards leesburg, leave yourself extra time. wait until these storms travel through. don't wait until too long because we have a lot of storms and a lot of rain back off to the north and west. look at all that coming through morgantown and up through western pennsylvania. now these warnings, we have some severe thunderstorm warnings in that area. this line is going to continue to travel through our region. it's going to be a pretty active weather night as we continue into the evening and even into the overnight. once that sun goes down at about 8:30, we'll lose some of this instability. a lot of humidity. that is going to continue to move into our area and really drop some of that heavy rain. let's go to our fredericksburg traffic camera right now. is that

yeah, that is i-95. we're watching for some heavy rain. i mean going to let doug take that over right now. >> that is the very heavy rain we're talking about. is this north or south of fredericksburg? do we know? most likely north of fredericksburg. let's go back to the radar. i'll show you where that camera is located just to the north of the fredericksburg region right there. that is where the heavy rain is with this storm. it is going to be right around the city of fredericksburg. that is where extremely heavy rain is falling right now. the hail is going to be a big potential. let me put on the -- that's right at the river bridge. you can see that camera was right in this area here. right in this area here is where the camera is just to the north of the city of fredericksburg. the tornado is right on in here if there is in fact a tornado. that's the one that we're

hail with this storm. most likely just to the north, that's the hail core. you'll notice it is just to the north of the possible tornado. that's what happens with these thunderstorms. you get the thunderstorm down to the south and the hail to the north. the tornado down to the south and the hail to the north. that's something that we'll continue to watch there. there's your hail core right there. another version we can show you. this is called vertically ingrate einin integrated liquid. there's not a whole lot of cities and towns here. but if you're in this area, please be careful. not a whole lot of lightning with this one. we're going to continue to watch it as it moves on down to the south and east. right towards the river it is going to cross over route 3. there's

cookstown, i think you're going to be okay. on this track, this storm -- here's the tornado. notice the curvature here right in there. that notch is going to move right on down towards chancellor within the next 15 to 20 minutes. i want to time this out for you and see exactly when this storm is going to come through the chancellor region. you can see it moving down to the south and east at about 35 miles an hour. if you live in and around chancellor in spotsylvania county, please get inside your house. make sure you're away from windows, but also make sure you're in an interior room of the house. i'm talking about the one with the most walls between you and the outside. that would be a closet. that would be a bathroom. that would be one of those areas i would recommend getting in right now becausehi

classic hook echo. this is the ball on the southwestern of this storm. any time you see a ball here that could be debris that we're looking at. very heavy rain along the i-95 corridor. now the storms to the north, notice they have now discontinued the severe thunderstorm warning for loudoun count count county. no longer a warning around leesburg. another storm that's going to move right towards martinsburg. let's zoom into the leesburg region right along 15 and route 7 out of the ashburn area over towards leesburg. very heavy rain associated with this storm. it is this storm down to the south that does have the possible tornado. a tornado warning until 5:30 tonight. really getting that hook now. this is the latest image. really getting that hook. zoom on into the city of

fredericksburg? extremely heavy rain associated with that. there it is right there. look at that rain and just the nasty, nasty version here. most of us are looking around and most of us have sunshine right now. we continue to watch this. we have seen an 1 1/2 of rain from this storm around western stafford county. 1 inch up towards the petersburg and martinsburg area. 1.25 inches of rain in allegheny county. let's go back to max two and show you once again where that is. city of fredericksburg, we're just seeing the heavy rain here. this is the heavy rain. that's all you're going to be seeing. you'll see wind too. the potential for hail is there, but the tornado is back towards the west and that's what we'll continue to wat ch ias move on back towards it. the tornado back to the west of the city of fredericksburg. i want to zoom in again because the only city that'

here is around chancellor. chancellor please be careful. please get indoors. please be sure you don't have any windows open in your house. that tornado going into 5:30 tonight. it is now 5:15. i'll work on that time clock for you. that is going to cross over route 3 at any minute. explain to us what's coming in with that next round as we move on through the rest of the night here. >> let's go to max one guys. we were watching this upper level low kind of scooting out the great lakes area. yeah, we've got a lot more rain to get through. you can see this right here. that is going to continue to travel to the southeast. now let me go ahead real quick and kind of zoom in on this so you can see what i'm looking at here because i was kind of looking at everything on the other side of it. that's not going to move. you can see the rotation up here. it's an upper

it is continuing to move to the southeast. but right around here in western west virginia, this storm is really popping off some severe thunderstorm warnings. that is only going to continue to push to the east into our region. we're in for an active weather night. we're going to continue to see some some with this next line of storms that will push into our region. we're watching that and we've got a few out in front of it. that's what we've been seeing rit now. that's what we'll continue to see. let me move this back around because i want to show you the latest warnings. we're going to be watching that for later on tonight. we do have that flash flood watch for later on tonight. starts at 5:00. it is in effect right now. goes out at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. we could get 1 to 4 inches in some spots of rain accumulation. now the 4 inches will be the heavier rain, but that will be in some of these cells that have already dropped a lot of rain. over an inch of rain in portions

1.5 inches in allegheny to 2 inches along i-70. around martinsburg, an inch so far. maryland saw a half an inch to an inch of rain. we continue to watch these, but a lot of the warnings have been taken away except for down here in fredericksburg where we still have that tornado warning. that goes until 5:45. chancellorville, if you're in that line of fire, go ahead and come inside. lightning associated with that one. these aren't severe, but just dropping lots of heavy rain into the region. even coming in through leesburg. that severe thunderstorm warning has now been cancelled, but a lot of these are really heavy and bringing lots of lightning. lightning can struck up to 20 miles away. head in inside in you're around winchester and barryville

through bluemont. a lot of people driving on route 7 without their headlights on. if you're watching us right now, might want to go ahead and stay put. we're watching that heavy rain continuing to fall across portions of the area along 340, route 9. if you're along the dulles toll road and anywhere along herndon up towards leesburg, you're getting ready to head into some heavy rain. if you're sitting along the dulles toll road and the greenway, you'll be headed into some rain. again, these aren't severe at this time, but they were severe at one point. they brought lots of lightning and a lot of rain into our region. doug, you ready to go ahead? >> one of the big areas and one of the big things we continue to make sure that we're watching is obviously that storm down towards

see the sunshine in the d.c. metro area. some of the storms are starting to fall apart here. you can notice the storm in the leesburg area starting to fall apart. the one that came through martinsburg, the confirmed tornado, that has moved past. this one increasing in intensity. let's show you this storm as it moves on to the south and east. this one is going to be one we're watching very closely. i'm looking at a potential rotation in this guy too. let's just put it on there and see if we do have that rotation. not showing rotation, but this is an interesting feature with this storm system right now as it moves on down to the south and east. i'm looking at that little nodule. as we move on through the rest of the evening, the other thing that we're watching here in storm team 4

back to the west. you see the storms down to the south and east. we're watching these in winchester along i-85 and this storm around fredericksburg with that tornado warning down toward spotsylvania county. spotsylvania county the only county in the tornado warning until 5:45. if you're in chancellor, get inside your house. heads up in this region. this is where the tornado would be. see this little knot, that's where the tornado is, most likely in this region right there. make sure you're inside and an interior room. i mentioned a closet earlier. that's a great place to be. closet or a bathroom. look how big this line is. matt, take a look at these warnings back towards

and garrett county. i want to see how big the winds are with this with this warning. this one moving down quickly at about 35 to 45 miles per hour. these storms are all ahead of it in the very warm air. once this comes into towards our region with its very warm and humid air, that's where we see the line of storms come through. we're going to see the severe wind threat come up as a result. those winds could easily be g t gusting upwards of 50, 60 miles an hour. morgantown, severe thunderstorm warning. these are 60 mile an hour thunderstorms. i would not be surprised if they picked up. good news here. very good news. no, i thought this was taken away. it is still here

fredericksburg area. not quite taken away just yet. this will also update. this will come close to spotsylvania. fredericksburg extremely heavy rain. watch out for flash flooding in this area. watch out for flash flooding around the city of frederick. here's the route 3 and i-95 interchange right here. heads up that way. that is carl silver parkway. that's route 3. over towards fredericksburg, we're seeing the extremely heavy rain. here's the latest update to show you where the latest storms are. now seeing a little less rotation. let me put rotation back on here for you. we'll see if we're seeing a little bit less rotation with this. still has the rotation there. again this is something that we're going to continue to watch right on in through this area as we move on through the next half an hour or so. as i track this now, i think it will move just east -- if i

tornado would be in this storm, around smiths mill at about 5:36. that's something we'll continue to watch too. i'm going to send it back to you for just a second. i'm going to take a little bit of a break here. what we're going to be watching is this line back to the west. this line back here, which will come through right around 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 tonight. >> all right, doug. go get a drink of water. my goodness. welcome back. the first phase of metro's safetrack program is beginning, but for many riders new trouble is just beginning. >> this phase will include a complete shutdown of some stations along three different rail lines. >> the impact will be felt greatest for those of you who use the orange, blue, and silver lines into prince george's county. they're going to be shut

armory and the potomac stations will be closed. metro says it may be extremely crowded and won't be able to handle the volume of riders that usually take the train. >> i don't like it. >> reporter: commuters bracing for the second surge of metro's safetrack program are not anticipating a smooth transition. metro wants to see a 60% to 70% reduction in metro use in prince george's county. >> it's going to be some serious traffic, which is going to not allow people to get to work on time. >> no trains in any direction any time, not rush hour, not weekends, any time. >> reporter: starting this saturday and for the next 16 days, metro will be closed at benning road and new carrollton stations with riders driven by bus to eastern market. metro officials can't predict how long that ride will be. >> you have to g

train. you get onto the bus. we're trying to basically bridge you over to the other station. depends on traffic. depends on the volume of the people getting off the bus. >> reporter: metro officials were at a press conference today urging riders to find another way to work. >> we're going to have a lot of folks that aren't going to be able to get into thecounty's bu will provide a shuttle. >> it is a lot to ask for, but this is an extreme situation, so we're going to do everything in the county that we can do. >> reporter: while riders aren't looking forward to the inconvenience, they understand the need for repairs. >> safety is most important. i know it is going to impact many traveling. >> that was tracee wilkins reporting. we want to get the latest on our wild weather. we have someew

warnings. >> yeah, we've got a severe thunderstorm warning just popped up. we have a severe thunderstorm warning for clark county, frederick county, virginia, and jefferson county and berkley county once again. it is with this storm right here. we're looking at it moving southeast at about 20 miles an hour. dropping a lot of heavy rain in areas that have already seen a lot of rain. it is just a little south of martinsburg right now. nine miles to the northeast of winchester. it is just going to clip to the north of winchester. there's already been some storms in leesburg. this one has kind of faded out right there. we don't have that warning for leesburg anymore. this is the warning we have right now. severe thunderstorm warning for clark county and also going up through jefferson county, frederick county, and berkley county. we have a little bit of rotation right there as well. we'll to continue to watch that to see what happens. a lot of these storms with thi

atmosphere have already had tornado warnings. we also had a tornado verified that was just around the martinsburg area. we'll continue to watch that as we go through the next 20 minutes or so. again these are moving southeast at 20 miles an hour. here's the other one that we're seeing. fredericksburg, that's the tornado warning in the red right there. that has been cut a little bit. it's really just going through stafford county and spotsylvania right now. it is just clipping stafford county. we have some heavy rain around fredericksburg. this continue to move to the south and east. let's go to our fredericksburg camera right now. that is i-95. between exit 126 and going through 133, if you're headed to route 17, that's where you're seeing a lot of heavy rain. we also have some hail. could be golf ball-sized hail in some spots and also some pretty damaging winds. 60, possibly 70 miles an hour in some spots.

warning. you can see it there. no longer a tornado warning to the south and east of us. this is now a severe thunderstorm warning. the rotation may be a little bit less with this storm. >> okay. we also want to take you back because this isn't it, guys. we have a lot of weather headed our way. look another this line of storms coming down. really coming through just southeast of pittsburgh all the way down just north of charleston, west virginia. they had a lot of heavy rain in morgantown, west virginia. look at that. some of these rain rates have been 1, 2, possibly 3 inches. that's not verified yet, but they had a lot of heavy rain. that is what is headed our way into our area. right now in central west virginia you can see just a lot of heavy rain. some of these thunderstorm warnings are just popping up. thunderstorm warnings. we have another warning that i'm listening to.

until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow because we're going to be watching for this late this evening. that is going to continue to travel to the east and drop some heavy rain on us. what is that warning that we have out there right now? >> looking for it right now as a matter of fact. it might be -- i'm checking it out right now. i don't see another warning that's popped up. it is for the same time storm spotsylvania county until 5:45. the severe thunderstorm warning goes in spotsylvania county until 5:30. i'm going to continue to check this out. >> we'll continue to watch this and again that heavy rain headed later on tonight. this is just the first bout some of severe weather. if you haven't seen rain yet, good chance you're going to see rain later on tonight. it could be heavy at times. going to go ahead to wtop. if you're watching usnd

especially areas that aren't getting some rain, tune into wtop. i'm going to hand it off to you. >> that's what we're doing here. i want to go back to max two. i want to show you what's happening with these storms. now the big storms themselves mostly down around fredericksburg, back here around the winchester area. som storms have died off around the leesburg area. here's the severe thunderstorm warning for again clark county virginia, jefferson county, west virginia. a lot of lightning associated with this. the leesburg storm starting to fizzle out a little bit. this severe storm that had a tornado warning with it, no longer a tornado warning. extremely heavy rain with this. now this is just a severe thunderstorm warning that has been

towards caroline county. watch what happens when we go back to the west. look at this incredible line of storms moving off towards the east now. this is a line of storms moving on off. we see tremendous amounts of lightning with these storms. look at all of the lightning. this is going to be a very dangerous situation over the next couple of hours as this line moves on through. we'll see trees down likely with this line. we'll see winds 60, 70 miles per hour. a lot of people out there on my facebook page and twitter page asking is this potentially going to be 80 miles an hour? no. we're going to have some power outages tonight. but this is not going to be a repeat of 80, 90 mile an

winds. i want to go back to the north here. we had the storm around martinsburg and north and east of winchester. this is the one that died out and came through martinsburg earlier. take a look. we have some pictures and some video out of the martinsburg area. this is right along route 9. there is that tornado that is making its way up around that area. this was a confirmed tornado on the ground. emergency management actually confirmed this tornado on the ground. i've seen a couple of them on my twitter page as well as on facebook. continue to give those to me as well. what we're going to continue to watch for this storm here -- let's zoom in on this storm. this storm also has some rotation. this one, too, has a little nodule down here. i'm going to be watching this. this one is going to travel right along route 7 and then eventually south of route 7 down towards the

let's go to i-68. this is a camera in through parts of maryland has some heavy rain associated with it. later on this camera is going to be amazing. where is this guys? right along the west virginia line in and around the maryland and west virginia line. we're going to see this throughout the night. if you have plans tonight, you might want to cancel, to be honest with you. 8:00, 9:00, that's when the next line is going to be moving through the area. that next line is an extremely dangerous line. look at the severe thunderstorm warnings associated with it. the dark red around pittsburgh, that's flash flood warnings. i'm going to send it back to you guys. we're going to stay with you right on through the night tonight. this system will come

the 8:00 hour. this spin in the atmosphere, this strong area of low pressure, bringing us that front right there and those storms. they'll be here around the 8:00, 9:00 hour. >> we'll be jumping back in as soon as something dramatic starts to happen again. nine years in prison, that's the sentence for the man who led prince george's county police on a chase and tried to get away by ramming their cruisers. william webster was sentenced for the october 2015 incident. police say it began when they answered a domestic violence call. they released this dash cam video that shows webster ram one of the officers. family members say webster struggled with alcohol abuse and they were hoping for a light ee sentence. >> we are very pleased with the sentence. mr. webster, despite whatever issues he may have, there is no excuse for running from the

police and for attacking the police the way he did. >> one of the officers did require surgery on his shoulder because of this collision. he has improved. we're following a developing story tonight out of florida where disney has closed all of its beaches in the wake of this week's deadly alligator attack. that 2-year-old boy was drowned by an alligator that snatched him off the beach and dragged him in the water of the grand floridian resort. the hometown of the toddler who died after that gator attack in orlando is remembering the little boy tonight. st. patrick's catholic church in the boy's hometown held a rosary service for his family. 2-year-old lane graves drowned after that gator snatched him. the little boy and his father had been standing about a foot offshore in a lagoon at disney's grand

defense is now laying out their case in the murder trial of baltimore police officer caesar goodson. he drove the police van where freddie gray suffered fatal injuries. >> goodson's lawyers tried to get all the charges dismissed. chris gordon is in baltimore with more. >> reporter: the judge denied the defense motion to dismiss all of the charges against baltimore police officer caesar goodson, but the judge said it was a close question when it came to the charge of second-degree depraved heart murder. lawyers for goodson are trying to show that goodson did not give freddie gray with a rough ride when he ran a stop sign and made a quick right turn with gray handcuffed and shackled face down in the van on april 12th,

>> the judge would have to find that officer goodson showed a wanton and disregard for human life. >> reporter: prosecutors say goodson's failure to secure gray with a seat belt in the van or call for medical help when gray said he wanted to go to the hospital should be sufficient to convict goodson, but some who have watched this trial for the very beginning are expressing doubts about the prosecutor's case. >> freddie gray did die, but the actions of officer goodson, that extreme he's going to be held accountable, i don't see that. >> reporter: ahead at 6:00, why prosecutors in court today accused the lead detective in investigating the death of freddie gray of trying to sabotage their case.

downtown law firm where trump gave a two-hour deposition. it is part of the suit against his hotel. the trump appearance in d.c. comes as a new virginia poll shows trump and presumptive democratic nominee hillary clinton in a statistical tie for the november election in a state seen as a battleground. clinton leads trump 42% to 39%, well within the margin of error. >> this is typical of what we expect for virginia which has been a battleground state in 2010 and 2008. >> reporter: the virginia poll was taken in the days following the orlando mass shooting. it shows 88% support background checks on all gun purchases. 8% opposed.

the sale of guns to anyone on the terrorist watch list. 7% were opposed. >> this is consistent with all the other polls we have seen. whether you can actually get gun regulations in isn't a public opinion problem at all. it is more of a political problem. >> reporter: virginia republicans take steps to organize for the fall campaign. tom sherwood, news4. we are tracking that severe weather across our region. severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 10:00. a couple of severe thunderstorms around our region, but this is the line i'm watching making its way off toward the east. much more on this as we move on throughout the rest of the evening hours. i-68, the storm is coming through there right now and it is a mess.

get their side of the story about how this all unfolded. >> reporter: talk about real-life heros. two soldiers stationed here tell us they were acting on moral obligation and pure adrenaline. >> we have to lift the bus in order to get it up. >> reporter: ever since the bus crash on the gw parkway tuesday, we've wondered who were those good samaritans who rushed into to bravely help a bus load of strangers. now we know. >> we opened the top emergency hatch that's on the vehicle and the coast guard officer got inside the bus to try to start to get passengers out. >> reporter: david cooper and gracie vaughn both stationed nearby both driving home in different cars. three bus passengers were pinned under the bus. i said we have to push. initially when we tried to push the

couple of feet. then we were like, no, we have to lift up. >> reporter: sergeant cooper and at least three other passers-by tried again. >> this time it seemed like the bus didn't weigh anything. we just lifted the bus. >> reporter: that's when sergeant vaughn jumped out of her car and comforted a woman who was pinned. >> it was just sad to me because it just shows you how precious life is. life can end at any moment. >> reporter: coming up tonight at 6:00, how sergeant vaughn says her military service prepared her for those moments on the george washington parkway. wendy, police are still investigating what exactly happened in this crash and at last word two people still in critical condition. back to you. there is a tornado warning in loudoun county, doug. >> we just keep seeing these come up

i just told you a minute ago i would not be surprised if the national weather service put out a tornado warning for loudoun county. there it is. this is clark county right around bluemont and loudoun county and extreme northern portions of fauquier county right around 50. matt, you're in my camera buddy. this is until what time? 6:30. including eastern clark county and western loudoun county. i'm going to zoom in again and show you where this is around bluemont. this is where the tornado would be. there's that little kink here, that little area right around berryville. we've had reports around round hill. this storm came through round hill. there are numerous trees down around the round hill region. that is in virginia in clark county. this storm has a very big potential of producing some very strong winds with it.

possibly. we are seeing that tornado warning right now down towards the howardsville area. zoom out for me and then i want to track this down to south and east. moving at about 35 miles per hour. on this track, it's going to be very close to the airmont area. that's where i want to track it from. heads up around middleburg around 6:23. this is something once again that we're going to continue to watch here throughout the evening. we've had numerous tornado warnings today. we've had confirmed tornado warnings. this right here most likely radar indicated. i don't think we've had any kind of confirmation on it just yet, but most of these storms that have crossed to tornado warnings have had damage associated with them. if you live south of bluemont or in bluemont, you'll see the storm come

i'm going to put it into our current position here. i want to take a look at the hail. the hail with this storm could be very, very high. yep, there is that area of that hail core coming just in towards bluemont right now, right over that route 7 sign. extremely large hail. half dollar-sized hail. this is radar indicated tornado around the bluemont area. this is a tornado warning for southwestern loudoun county, clark county, and fauquier county until 6:30. this is a possible tornado moving south and east at 25 miles an hour. dangerous storm will be near bluemont at 6:05. around middleburg right around the 6:30 hour. other locations include rector

town, briggs, marshall. extremely dangerous tornado just south and west of the bluemont area. this thunderstorm, the whole thing here -- look at all the lightning associated with this around the bluemont area. this is all to the north. notice there's no lightning right around the possible tornado. that's because this could be debris or rain wrapped. make sure you stay inside in an interior room in your house. if you have a basement, get to a basement. if you don't have a basement, get as many walls between you and the outside as possible, meaning a closet or a bathroom. bathroom normally without a window a very good place to go. you can see that motion right here. i want to zoom on in because this is the same storm. zoom in for me right around this area here. the storm is the same o

bit earlier. that's north and west of where the storm was back towards berryville. we have seen reports of -- i just saw a video out of that region of potential damage with tree damage in that region. notice the purples here right along route 7. route 7 is going to be a mess. the reason? hail. we will continue to see more hail. that tornado warning a very, very well-defined hook echo here. i'm going to take you on through. now we have the hook echo with this storm. that's the storm that we saw moving out of fredericksburg. no longer worried about that. but this is what we're really worried about here. we're going to have numerous storms. i'm watching in area right in here, right in through portions of allegheny. zoom out for me just a little bit. just south of 70. this area right here is prime

around the hampshire county, west virginia area, frederick county, back towards the martinsburg area. i expect more storms to develop here. you've seen what's happening. we've seen numerous thunderstorms continuing to develop here as we move on through. every county associated with this line now has a severe thunderstorm warning. we have isolated storms now. tonight around 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, that's when we'll see the strongest storms move through the area. tornado warning for loudoun county that goes until 6:30 tonight. that's the one that we're going to continue to watch moving south and east at 25 miles an hour. it is going to move right through southwest portions of loudoun county and then notice this one too. i showed you this a little bit earlier. this one was moving east and now it is a right mover. it's a right mover because it has that rotation and it is moving down towards

fauquier county. this is going to come very close to 66 in the next half hour to 45 minutes. we'll continue to see if that one has rotation with it too, but it has a lot of damage associated with it. we have seen damage with this back towards frederick county and clark county. we saw damage in the martinsburg area. we're just getting started with this tonight, guys. lauryn, take over for me for just a second here. the tornado is going to be a very small threat. the bigger threat is the line toward the west. once this comes through, everybody will have a chance to see some those very strong storms move through here. >> can we switch it over to max one? i'm going to show you the same thing that we're showing right now. let me know if that is not possible. we continue to see that tornado warning that will go through about

county, southwestern loudoun county, fauquier county. we were looking at some of the information on round hill. some of the video of round hill. we continue to watch for some heavy rain along that region. again right around that tornado warning. now this is what we're watching for later on tonight. this is not over yet. we've got several more hours of some storm activity that we're going to continue to watch move into our region. you can see a lot of lightning associated with that, a lot of heavy rain associated with that. out ahead of it, everything shaded in orange, that is a severe thunderstorm warning. in western pennsylvania, those are flash flood warnings. we have a flash flood watch that goes until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. that means a lot of heavy rain coming our

we have seen some reports of an inch to 2 inches. maryland picked up half an inch to an inch in hagerstown just about daybreak. lots of lightning. if you are in that line of storms, you want to go ahead and make sure that you are going to be all right and go ahead and get inside. we've got about another three hours or so before that moves our direction. we'll watch for that next line. let me show you what's going on right now. that one in fredericksburg moving tomove ing out to the northern neck. we have that severe thunderstorm watch just to the south of fredericksburg and the north of bolling green. then here's that storm. look at that rotation just around bluemont right now. what did you say, guys? we've got
