  1. If you re-rack the radar data from yesterday, it all started with those two cells in Cumberland that rode an outflow boundary out of Frederick.
  2. Yea it definitely was a sneaky day. We get these events where it looks pretty benign and then you get a lone cell or three that would end up verifying a slight risk and a WW. Other times, it's a textbook setup and the entire subforum whiffs.
  3. ML Lapse rates are poop and the shear is really lacking. This is isolated wet microburst / flooding.
  4. 14 box in baltimore county for several vehicles in flood waters....Ruxton Rd at Circle Rd.
  5. Unusually deep, rolling thunder and a lot of rogue CG in Reisterstown. Our younger cat is growling like a chain saw.
  6. Sustained convection east of I-81 will probably be sparse through 4pm. Despite the ConvT being reached the shear is minimal so it's going to be hard to sustain the updrafts.
  7. 12z balloon from IAD has a Convective Temp of 87°
  8. Given strong insoltation and decent LL but weak ML lapse rates, there definitely is a wet microburst potential today.
  9. Looks like it's time for DC to get their storm.
  10. 45kt win core on 0.5 degree BV right where the tops are shooting up and lightning spiking. Might be seeing an SVR here shortly.
  11. PBZ just noted a TDS near Ohioville in their chatroom. Legit line is legit to our west!
  12. Another cluster working across the Potomac River...looks like more CG with this one.
  13. That line in OH could give some folks a decent line tomorrow. Even though it's going on 9pm a large chunk of the line is warned and still producing damage.
  14. 21:06 Phoenix // 6240 blk Blenheim Rd // Lightning struck a house causing the chimney cap to explode and charged the house with smoke.
  15. It's 8pm, but SPC meso analysis has over 2,500 SBCAPE and LI's over 6. Impressive.
  16. Solid little cell racing out of western Montgomery County. I can see lightning in the tower from New Windsor.
  17. PDS Blue Boxes are rare. I cannot recall the last time a High Risk was issues for wind or hail. It seems that so many of the High Risk area issued by SPC are for tornadoes, but the impacts from crop loss and power outages, etc. from wind and hail are nothing to sneeze at.
  18. While I'm glad that we're seeing a reduction in property and life loss, it would be nice to at least get some garden variety storms. We really haven't seen a regionwide rainfall event of more than an inch in some time and it's starting t.
  19. It's amazing how quiet severe wx season has been in our part. We had two solid events and then crickets ever since.
