There is potential for severe thunderstorms in Virginia tonight that may produce high winds, heavy rain, lightning and localized tornadoes.
AccuWeather has the severe weather potential alert scheduled to end at 7 a.m. Saturday in the region.
Storms may produce flooding downpours and localized damaging wind gusts, according to the alert.
Possible tornadic activity has been reported in Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
