to do a wider view of the radar to show you how it's moving. we have got ourselves these storms that are slowly charging in our direction so if you appear annoyed because it's not happening overhead and we are making a big deal of it, this's a reason we are making a big deal of it. anyone of these storms can start spinning on their own and it's dark out and hard to see. and right now, we are going on the guidance of doppler radar alone which can see inside the storms. and any damaged reports from spotters and scanners and local emergency management officials. we have ourselves a tornado watch until 8:00 but we are watching online a vivid activity toward the west and in fact what we can show you with this particular line of storms in reference to baltimore while it's off to the northwest, we have a lot of lightning with the storms. and a fresh batch appears to be popping up here just to the west of damascus and rockville. hamilton and middleboro through northern virginia.

anyone of these storms could start spinning up and in the same general area, where the initial cell may be rotating on through, we have got frederick and we have got westminster with the possibility of the storms heading in your direction. so we have that tornado watch through 8:00 and we will continue to watch the storms that seem you see just to the east of winchester riding along 66 into the north, and up approaching harford's ferry charlestown and frederick you will get a fresh batch of real intense activity coming your way in the next 20 to 30 minutes and while the tornado warning right now will expire at 5:15 and we are just about tenments away, we have to -- ten minutes away, we have to watch what's coming out east of front royal. this is close to harford's ferry. there are people near charles town leesburg that watch on the cable. brunswick this is charging up towards the east northeast. and in fact doppler radar indicates the storms are moving at 50 miles per hour. that's just forward momentum not including the strong wind that could be produced dropping out of the storms at any sort of rotation. dangerous lightning out there. it's early in the morning. you may think it's dark and it's no big deal. let me get to my car and all it takes is one lightning strike to cause problem. this is the time to stay indoors and this is the time to pay attention. this may be also the time if you haven't done so to gather up your loved ones in your house and call your friend and say we have a warning here and we have got nasty storms that killed over 80 people yesterday in the deep south with dramatic tornadoes that we will show you on video coming up in just a few moments. but tracking that batch of storms in northern sek of virginia, -- sections of virginia, up towards maryland and southern pa we have warnings just east of hagerstown. wanesboro is heading up towards gettysburgh burg, thurmont and emetsburg and it's coming down hard. this cell right here between
