Rain Rate Alert: Rain Rate at DelrayVA Weather, Alexandria - Alexandria, Virginia USA is 0.5 at May 21, 2026 at 01:46AM. Chance of Urban Flooding.
Hey @AlexandriaVAGov @AlexandriaVAGov @AlexandriaVA311 There’s a hole on Hume Ave that is deeper than my three year old is tall and looks like it is continuing well under the sidewalk. Directly beside Stracci Pizza, beside a power poll.
Truth.
Seeing a lot on here about today being a "bust".
How could something that was not 100% guaranteed be a bust? Numerous credible meteorologists did extremely well communicating several days ago that there was POTENTIAL for a big severe weather day today. That potential was not realized. And? That's a good thing. No funerals planned for next week. No insurance companies to deal with. No regrets in my book. You owe the Internet and Social Media nothing. You did your jobs; people were aware.
Next play.

🚨⛈️ SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS THE DMV:
A potentially significant severe weather day is expected today with several rounds of showers and storms. The DC Meteo Area remains under a rare Level 4 out of 5 Risk for severe storms.
Two rounds of storms are expected, with the first occurring between 10AM-3PM as isolated showers, and storms develop ahead of the main line. These will be capable of producing isolated tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. Not everyone will see a storm.
Following the first round, a line of strong to severe storms is expected from west to east between 3PM-8PM. This line has the potential to produce widespread damaging to destructive winds, along with several tornadoes, some of which could be strong (EF-2+). This will be the worst of the weather for the DMV.
Widespread downed trees and power lines are possible today, along with several power outages. Roadways may be blocked and impassable due to debris.
Make sure devices are charged and that there are several ways to receive severe weather alerts. Use caution this afternoon and evening. #vawx #mdwx #dcwx #wvwx
