    Sounds like a CWG forecast.

    Ping pong ball sized hail report just NW of Orange.

    Always great to give the cactuses some water.

    Some cool weather new for Maryland/DC folks. Montgomery County is developing an extension to the statewide mesonet with a focus on suburban and urban tripod stations. This will be known as the Montgomery County Micronet, with at least four (4) additional stations coming online this autumn. The first site just went online this past week. @wxmeddler and I rushed this site to completion as the MCS dove south from PA and we got it online maybe 10 min before the storms came in. When all is said and done, we'll have stations about ever five to seven miles in Montgomery County.

    Well said. I agree with layering the Maryland counties adjacent to the Potomac River on the watch in case upscale growth occurs, but it's going to be tough. Our only chance seems to be from those storm just NW of Martinsburg getting their act together.

    That Garrett cell has legs. Solid up tick in CG and it's got that look like it's a little vort or something pushing it along.

    Long loss of power means refrigerators and food may not be kept cold. Not every school has UPS/back up generators. It's cautionary to mitigate food borne illness.

    Ferry Cove mesonet site gusted to 53 mph early this morning. Impressive.
  10. Eskimo Joe
    That appears to be so. We really wasted a good setup again.

    M49 mph wind gust Upper Marlboro mesonet site. I'm surprised it wasn't higher given the wide open nature of that location and the site's position relative to that wind core on radar. The nocturnal boundary layer has to be working overtime to mitigate gusts getting to the surface. If this were even late evening there'd be more substantial damage reports coming in.

    Those velocities are making a beeline to the Upper Marlboro mesonet site. That's a wide open spot so that station will get a great sample of whatever comes through.
  13. Eskimo Joe
    DCA M64 mph now.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    DCA just gusted to M59 mph. M62 mph wind gust per LWX LSR

    I saw that with all the respect in the world! I'm so used to us finding a way to fail at just about any sensible weather that I doubt anything is legit until it's on our doorstep.
