America's 250th Birthday is a uniquely special time to be celebrating Flag Day.
A representation of freedom, democracy, and the ongoing work of creating a better, more inclusive nation.
And one day, when the 51st star is added, it will also represent DC statehood.

Good evening, we're watching a line of strong storms with potential for damaging winds approaching the DC area from the west. The storms are on track to cross the region approximately 7-10pm, though there is some question if the line will remain solid and intense, or if it may weaken and become more scattered as it moves through the region.
Check in with CapitalWeather.com or the Capital Weather app for updates on the storms, radar, our full forecast, and more.
