prince william county as well as fairfax county you've just gone under severe thunderstorm warning until 6:30, includes manassas, of course fairfax, look at the lightning showing up with this thing, and here is something i don't see very often. they are actually expecting hail damage to vehicles in this area. so, we want you to be ready for that. let me show you the storm itself. it is loaded with lightning. in fact, that's impacting some of the live shot. it has got very heavy rain as this storm tracks to the east at 20 miles an hour, and it is about to cross into the belt way. you can see some of the green, the lighter rain showing up. strongest part of the storm, coming across 66 right now, and we do expect that to continue to produce significant hail. this is estimate, folks, but saying there could be hail to the size of 1.2 inches, not too far from gainesville, half inhale. so if you can get your car into shelter, good idea. that's pretty much the lone ranger at the moment. there is definitely more activity down to the south
