The Prince William County Animal Center posts photos of strays (currently STR239/2026) a few times a week to help owners reclaim their pets by calling (703) 792-6465, emailing [email protected], or visiting during posted hours, with proof of ownership and current rabies vaccination required.

 


Weather

A strong cold front will push across the region this afternoon and evening, bringing a slight risk of severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds are the main threat, with large hail and a brief tornado also possible. Heavy downpours are likely in stronger storms, and a Flood Watch is in effect for parts of northeast Maryland through early Wednesday.

An upper-level trough may increase clouds and shower chances by Saturday evening into Sunday.


Police Blotter

A 21-year-old man was shot and killed during a domestic dispute at an apartment complex in Woodbridge on Monday night, according to Prince William County police. Detectives have obtained arrest warrants for a family member in the case and are asking the public for help locating him.

Separately, a 94-year-old man died from injuries in a crash in Nokesville over the weekend. The driver of a commercial truck was charged with reckless driving.

Rare schedule updates that could affect surrounding areas are posted at facebook.com/marinecorpsbasequantico.


Manassas

A Manassas City School Board candidate seeking the Democratic Party endorsement has publicly shared a series of Facebook posts between 2024 and early 2026 that support prayer and Bible reading in public schools, reject evolutionary science in favor of a biblical narrative, affirm traditional marriage as “one man and one woman,” and declare that cultural opinion does not override what the Bible calls sin.

Murina V. Dove’s public Facebook page lists her association with Manassas City Public Schools. Nearly all of the posts are shares of third-party Christian memes and images rather than original long-form writing. Examples include:


Prince William

Volunteer Prince William shared its latest Weekly Happenings list, highlighting recognition for local professionals and a range of open volunteer roles across the county and nearby communities.

On Wednesday, July 22, Volunteer Prince William hosted a luncheon at Manassas Museum to mark Parole, Probation, and Pretrial Week. The event honored local Parole and Probation Officers for their partnership with the organization’s Alternative Service Program. Officials thanked the officers for their professionalism and ongoing service to the community.


Fredericksburg

Only half of the first 22 physicians graduating from Mary Washington Healthcare’s Graduate Medical Education program will remain to practice in the Fredericksburg area, FXBG Advance reported. The June 2026 class included 15 internal medicine, six family medicine and one family obstetrics residents; hospital officials confirmed 11 are staying but refused to release names or practice locations despite posting identifying details for current residents online.

The 50 percent retention rate falls short of the 70 percent figure once projected by former CEO Mike McDermott when the health system ended support for the Moss Free Clinic and launched the $10 million residency programs. Since the clinics opened in late 2023 they have recorded nearly 14,000 patients and more than 70,000 visits, with nearly 30 percent described as uninsured or underinsured, though no supporting studies or precise definitions were provided.


Weather

Showers and thunderstorms are possible early this week as a strong frontal boundary moves through the region. Severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday, with damaging winds and heavy rain the primary concerns. Conditions turn drier and sunnier later in the week.

By Thursday, high pressure builds overhead, reducing precipitation chances and bringing calmer conditions. Temperatures will gradually climb into the upper 80s, though drier air aloft should keep heat indices close to actual air temperatures. Precipitation chances increase again over the weekend as an upper-level trough approaches.
