Overnight batch was impressive. Woke me up out of a dead sleep.

Looks like another sneaky severe evening.

60% chance of a watch from I-64 and points south it appears.

Looks like more storms firing up along and west of US 15.

Was nice to see the Parkton site get a good workout.

Our typical two week window for 3 inches of TV Snow. Then waiting on a can kick pattern for 3 months that never materializes.

Spring 2021....we got about 3 inches of rain in a day and a half. I had put a flood sensor out on 1898 Brighton Dam Rd two days before that and was surprised to see the river come up 6 feet in under 10 hours. We got the road closed down once the sensor tripped.

Western Montgomery County up through Frederick County, MD seems to be the sweet spot for today's rainfall.

I think that activity in Northern Virginia could scrape you.

The cell that originated in Montgomery County, ran up through the Baltimore metro producing gold ball sized hail, and then tried to spin a bit near Aberdeen, is throwing more hail out in the SW suburbs of Philadelphia. SPC mesoalanysis reveals there is a weak surface low nearby, so perhaps that's what is sustaining that cluster of storms?

I swear the bay pushes a mesoscale boundary just north of the city towards the top side of the Baltimore Beltway. I'm hoping that as we put more mesonet stations in, we can begin to better identify these small scale features that make severe weather forecasting so tricky.

There looks like a broad rotational signature near Aberdeen. Might be tapping some bay boundary.

Impressive wind signature on that cell.

M1.75" hail 1W Timonium

The Euro mid range high QPF thing seems to be real and I wonder if it's a result of a recent tweak or software update.
