This is how dogs wear pants. I don’t make the rules.

I just need you all to see this dog wearing pants... 14/10

Another day of high heat and humidity. Be sure to stay cool, hydrated, and safe this afternoon! Heat indices can get up to 105°. @fox5dc

A nice sunrise out at Reston, VA. Brisk start but we warm up quite nicely!

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Rain is expected to linger through the first half of the weekend but Sunday and Monday during the day are trending slightly drier. Still can't rule out a stray shower or two. Looks like we can make a serious dent in our drought conditions though so here to the rain!

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Everyone in our viewing area is under the severe category of drought right now. Unfortunately we've only seen 9.48" of precip this year when we usually see about 13.56" by this time (deficit of 4.08"). Our only above normal month was back in January. @fox5dc

While today will be cloudy, Mother's day will be fantastic during the first half of the day! Hopefully you get a chance to be outside with mom and enjoy the nice weather. @fox5dc

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Couldn't ask for better weather today! Join us this morning as @TuckerFox5 is down at Nationals Park for @fox5dc's Weather Day. Then, watch the Nats take on the Twins to see who wins the series.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

We have tons of warm air to finish up our weekend! Be sure to enjoy the warmth before we cool down for this weekend.

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck about 100 km (~62 mi) ENE from Miyako, Japan. Tsunami warnings are in effect for Honshu, Japan with 10 feet tsunami wave possible.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Well the colder air returns for the middle of the work week. Good thing is it doesn't last for long.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Back edge of the rain is about to pass over I-81. Expect drier conditions to finish off our Sunday.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

Cold front certainly moving through our area right now. Not only is it bringing us some rain showers but also about a 10-15 degree temperature drop.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

We're looking at a nice warm stretch of weather! Be sure to enjoy it!

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

@PitchingNinja Wait I though this was supposed to be using the rule book strike zone? Huh I'm surprised they couldnt program it to work off of a 3-D plane.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

What a difference 24 hours makes! Much colder air has settled into the area today so make sure to have layers as you start off your weekend.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

We have a severe thunderstorm watch in place for parts of Western Maryland and West Virginia. It is in effect until 10pm.

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

What an incredible day!

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

We are looking at another stretch of potential severe weather to start off the work week. Monday (3/16/26) will see a strong cold front approach the region once again and spark up storms thanks to the abundance of warmth and moisture. @fox5dc

[NWS Baltimore-Washington @NWS_BaltWash]

A Tornado Watch is in effect until 8PM tonight for portions of western/central MD, eastern panhandle of WV, and portions of northwestern VA. #MDwx #WVwx #VAwx

[Cesar Cornejo @cesar_wx]

I hope everyone has a chance to get outside and enjoy this late spring warmth we have over the next 3 days! This stretch will even rival some daily records on Tuesday and Wednesday.

@Morgan_Cody_1 @TuckerFox5 @caitlinrothfox5 @gwenfox5dc @TaylorGrenda This is a good find! I think the AI models might be having a case of the Mondays
