Storms, Heat, and Tragedy in D.C.

Two women tragically lost their lives Thursday night when trees fell during violent storms in the D.C. area, with officials pointing to possible microbursts with winds over 100 mph as the cause. Cleanup is underway as the region braces for more severe weather Friday — including high winds, hail, and dangerously hot, humid conditions with heat index values hitting 108. A heat advisory and extreme heat alert are in effect. Saturday offers relief with sunshine and cooler temps, but Sunday brings another round of storms as a cold front moves in.
