tornado. it's a very ort-lived warning, for sure. if yu live anywhere north of 66, falls church, be on t lockout, stay pu stay outside. there's a small indication of some rotation. this is doppler radar indicated. you' aint of a rotation in ourn weather pattern. putting it into motion here, that's going the continue northbound into faiax without, at toward southern montgomery county for you. the rain is intense. the's no doubt abo the fact that it is coming down in buckets out there right now.

already, iut you're just a ready to leave home, just wait. wait 15 orin 20es and let this pass by. it's moving north at a good clip. if you're ready to leave and you live near dulles, towards leesburg, you may want to hang tight for a next little bit. i want you to see more clearly at we're talking about here. a little zoom in won't hurt. we'll show you wheretorm is. this is the area, just near falls church. it's not a big circulation on rad radar. but nonetheless, tdre sho be the potential of a spinup there. just keep in mind, if you're in

that part of northern virginia, the tornado morning goes until 6:15 in the morning. you see on 495, this storm is going northbound. it will go to mclane, east of great falls and into montgomery county. if you liv in this area, of fairfax county or montgomery county, you may want to stay indoors. it's able to produce blinding rain and the tornado concerning until 6:15 this morning. if there's going to be any

financial here. it will bnse this area. this is the storm here. it's fairly tall. about 20,000 feet in hthe s. the temperatures in the 70s. it's gng to be a continuing issue. if you'rin fairfax out now. this not will be a long-lived event, i expect. again, it's this little area on the east se of close eye on the storm. as it continues to move farther off to the north, i will put a track on it. if you go out towards emmitt

hills. these are the next five to ten minutes in the path of the storm. the best idea is to h justg tight, to get your day started. may want t wait it out for the next couple of minutes. see if we can get a better idea on where the strongest of the storms are. rainfall rates are coming down intensel that's coming down at 2 1/2 to hours. driving in all this is going to be a real yusissue. it is this notch, just to the east of thedle wild area. it won't make it to bethesda

here. idle wood again. no one hasee sn a tornulo. there shod be a tornado in this storm. the greatest danger with this storm is the blinding rain. no point in trying to drive through all this. i-66rom came fairfax county to bailey's cross roads. that's not a y place where want to be driving right now. hang tight with us here over the next couple of minutes w andch this storm develop over the next little while our tornado threat is realtively

low. but sometimes you can get a little spin going around wit it. and if you can maximize the winds on it, that's not on issue. i've been trying to interrogate theay bar and see if we can get a better bead on how strong the winds are. the storm is going north. ifou are in fairfax county here, and root 7th there, befu care out there. best to stay put, stay in, stay safe. >> the little notch is going to go to the west.

in out. the storm isn't going to be aroundor aery long time. it's beenoving clip. i'll try to get a storm track on it. there's our first o strike lightning. and normally you would see it if it was a tornado-producing storm. it is gaining in strength. mclean, 6:13. cobben january 6:18. and this part of north central fairf fairfax. this is going to be an issue for you. we've had so much rain is that flash flooding is a major

colonelle with this. any creeks and streams can become a water-ea. is area right here where the aeroyeas are going in. if there's going to be any a spinup ornado, it will be right here. just south of where the lightning strike was. the storm will continue the track over the next 15 to 30 minutes. those are the areas, potomac falls, all if you're there, and you're going to drive the top corner of the beltway, the best thing to do is hang rest. we'll watch that very if you are about ready to hop

into the car. if you are going to -- you feel the need to get outside and be ready to go, you can listen on wtop radio. the next thingo do is to develop this a little bit. it does notli look to m it's a large tornado. nevertheless, owe don't want to take advantage of that in there. that circulation is the part that theth national w service is watching the most kaurcarefully. >> laen, what do you have for us? >> i kw you were on the air. the national weather service came out. an this schapp has weakened
