The Storm Prediction Center has issued a massive enhanced risk with 30% hatch area for significant severe weather on FRIDAY stretching from northern Louisiana through Iowa. It has been a few years since we have witnessed an tornado event this widespread. Stay tuned

[Fairfax County Fire/Rescue @ffxfirerescue]

#FCFRD has been getting reports of a burning smell and haze throughout @fairfaxcounty. According to @NWS a wind shift has caused smoke from the NC wildfires to migrate widely. Low wind speeds in our area prevent the odor and haze from dispersing. @FairfaxCountyPD #weather

[NWS Baltimore-Washington @NWS_BaltWash]

Are you smelling smoke this afternoon? The smell may be associated with a wildfire in eastern NC. Southerly winds are bringing the smoke northward. Smoke should clear out from west to east this evening with the wind shifting to the northwest. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx

#Sam becomes a major hurricane. Forecast track and intensity remains unchanged, which should keep the hurricane well NE of the Leeward Islands. However, dangerous surf and rip currents possible across Lesser Antilles beginning in a couple of days. More: https://t.co/tW4KeFW0gB

Down and dirty in the trench with a solid group of guys. Another milestone for LCFR Special Ops programs as they teach their first VDFP Trench Operations class. A shout out to General Services and Sterling Rescue as they were vital assets for the class.

Firenado (more correctly called a fire whirl) at the #ChaparralFire You only realize the scale when you see the helo and firefighter. @CALFIRERRU

We are monitoring our western suburbs for the possibility of a Tornado Watch over the next couple of hours. Rotating supercells could produce tornadoes late morning and afternoon. Continuing updates on WTOP.
