    That heat dome is incredible. 596dm ridge in mid March.

    Yes thats a distinct possibility.

    This is why hand analysis is so vital, especially for potentially significant set ups.

    This circulation passed just west of the fire department I volunteer at. Video of this tornado was captured at the EOC. A lot of leg work went into this survey.

    IMO, that was under forecast by SPC along Dixie Alley. It's similar to how they under forecast the 2012 derecho.

    Unpopular opinion: SPC was correct with the initial forecast. They should have trimmed the tornado risk back but not the wind. We were an hour of partly sunny skies away from having that second line get enough juice to wreck a lot of stuff. I worked this event. We rarely get calls in western portions of Montgomery County where it's very rural. Our 911 calls were coming in just minutes after that line was racing through, which is an indication to us that bad things are inbound. We got lucky it trended south towards the Potomac River over a largely unpopulated section of the county. There are some terrible takes on social media from terminally online weather folks that a Day 2 Mod risk didn't turn into the next April 27, 2011.

    OPM got raked over the coals after the Jan. 26, 2011 snow event when they put an early dismissal out but folks waited until the last minute to leave. Now there's a "everybody out b [insert time here] rule. But yea, waiting that long to dismiss was kind of weird.
