The heavy smoke tonight in Maryland is causing the waxing crescent moon to appear a deep orange color. Worth taking a peek before it sets. @capitalweather @JustinWeather @TonyPannWBAL @WashingtonianWx #moon

You know it's big when Tom Cruise makes an appearance!

NTSB is investigating the crash of a Montana Coyote airplane near Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Pilots of the USAF helicopter that made a precautionary landing in NW DC reported to air traffic control some unusual noises and virbrations prior to setting down on top of an underground reservoir. The pilots have left the scene and mechanics are now inspecting the aircraft.

Huge crowds at the Smithsonian Metro station at this hour. Normally 8:45 would only be about a half hour before the fireworks, but with the change this year, we are still likely almost 2 hours away from the start. #wmata

Chaos right now on the Washington Monument ground as the Secret Service tells everyone to leave, then someone says “mic check” on the stage and people rush back in.

The US Military has notified the District of Columbia that it will conduct aircraft flyovers near the National Mall from June 24 to July 10 as a part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations. While there may be an increase in air traffic noise, there is no cause for alarm. Stay informed this summer: follow @AlertDC.

A trail of destruction and death on the Taft Bridge yesterday. US Park Police confirmed one person was killed in the pursuit of a stolen vehicle.

In an interview tonight, I asked Janeese Lewis George if she thinks Trump's threat to take federal control of D.C. if she won helped her campaign. "Yeah, I'll be honest about that…Yeah, I think so." Her full remarks @CityCast_DC:

In Silver Spring - the Air Force flyover from the White House event just went directly above me while walking the dog! That was crazy lol.

Meanwhile, in DC: residents are being advised of a loud fireworks show starting at *11:30 pm.*

From NCAA national champions to NBA champions. 2016 to 2026.

About 150 people are waiting for a 14-member crew to build the scaffolding needed to remove the 18 offending letters. The atmosphere is festival-like: People have brought their dogs, their partners and their kids. They oohed as lightning spidered across the sky and ahhed at a double rainbow. They cheered when a one-wheel rider zipped through the center's horseshoe driveway in a rainbow crop top and shorts, waving a bisexual pride flag. The Foo Fighters' "My Hero" blasted, followed by a request from a guy shouting to the workers above. "Remove the 'T' first!"

Holy cow! This may be the weather photo of the year. Double rainbow, orange sky over Nationals Park Friday evening. Absolutely amazing capture by Alex Warofka

🚨EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot tells MeidasTouch they filed FAA and NASA safety reports after lighting from Trump’s UFC event at the White House allegedly flooded their cockpit on approach to Reagan National.
