As a powerful storm system approaches the region, Capital Weather Gang meteorologists are tracking a severe storm threat across the area today, with a possibility of tornadoes, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures. The first wave of storms is expected to impact areas west and north of Washington, D.C., primarily between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The storms pose a significant risk, and residents in the affected areas are advised to monitor weather updates closely. Capital Weather Gang is providing continuous, around-the-clock coverage on cwg.live. The primary concern is the potential for damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of isolated tornadoes.
