Major cities and towns highlighted in green within the watch area include Washington D.C., Baltimore, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, Winchester, Leesburg, Warrenton, Martinsburg, and Hagerstown. Areas to the far west (including Cumberland, Oakland, and Franklin) and to the far east (such as Lexington Park and Elkton) are shaded dark gray, indicating they are outside the watch zone.
