The National Weather Service has warned about dangerously hot conditions in the region through the weekend. High pressure will remain offshore, and the current weather pattern will be maintained until Monday.
High pressure is centered offshore with upper-level ridging in place. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s for most areas, with mid-to-upper 80s in the mountains. Terrain-driven circulations may cause thunderstorms this afternoon over the Allegheny Front and Potomac Highlands, but conditions will remain dry further east. Any storms will dissipate this evening, leading to overnight lows in the low to mid-70s for most areas and upper 60s in the mountains.
Potomac Local has learned that WJLA-TV did not preempt its regular ABC network programming on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, to show the Dumfries fireworks display for the town’s Juneteenth celebration.
A social media post encouraged residents who could not attend the event to join the TV station at 9 p.m. to watch the fireworks. The post stated, “If you can’t make it live for the fireworks tonight! Please catch the fireworks tonight on Channel 7 at 9 pm.”
Vindman, of Dale City, ran a campaign solely to oppose Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President. He and his twin brother Alexander Vindman were key figures in Trump’s first impeachment in 2020.
“The stakes of this election couldn’t be higher; the passion behind my campaign comes from voters wanting integrity, moderation, and professionalism in a government that works for them; and our grass-roots movement is coming for the extreme MAGA agenda,” Vindman wrote in a prepared statement sent to the press after declaring victory about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18.
