Intense Thunderstorms Sweep Across Northeastern US

Fast-moving thunderstorms hit parts of the DC area, bringing heavy winds, hail, and "blinding downpours." Some of the strongest storms hit Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties in Maryland, where multiple Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued throughout the afternoon. The heavy rain during the storm led the weather service to issue a Flash Flood Warning for west-central Anne Arundel County, which will last until 6:30 p.m. There were reports of downed trees blocking the ramp from eastbound Leesburg Pike to northbound Chain Bridge Road in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
