It’ll Feel Like 108 Degrees Today. Strong Storms Tonight

    The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for central, northern, and southern Maryland, the District of Columbia, and central and northern Virginia, effective from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Heat index values are expected to reach up to 108 degrees, posing a risk of heat-related illnesses. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, remain in air-conditioned areas, avoid direct sunlight, and check on vulnerable relatives and neighbors. Children and pets should not be left unattended in vehicles. In the afternoon, instability may trigger strong to severe thunderstorms. The primary threat from these storms will be damaging winds, particularly east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms may occur, with some areas potentially receiving several inches of rain, which could lead to flash flooding. Urban and suburban areas, especially those already experiencing drought conditions, are at higher risk for flooding. The cold front is expected to reach the area later tonight, potentially bringing lingering showers. Most of the severe weather activity is anticipated to exit around or shortly after midnight, with patchy fog possible if cloud cover breaks. Overnight lows will range from the 60s west of the Blue Ridge to the 70s in areas to the east.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
