Update, 12:30 p.m.: Power has been restored to all but 20 residences in the area, Dominion is reporting.

This morning's blustery winds have knocked down power lines in South Arlington, leaving more than 1,300 customers without power. The outages are mainly clustered in the Arlington Ridge and Aurora Highlands neighborhoods just west of Crystal City.

Dominion spokesperson David Botkins says that crews are on the scene and expect to restore power by 1 p.m.

"As some of the residual effects of the storm that's come through, we've got a couple of tree limbs come down onto lines," Botkins says. "We've got crews out right now to restore that power." The outage is affecting 1,328 customers in Arlington County. There are an additional 410 customers affected in Fairfax County.
