The public has a personal responsibility to maintain a basic level of situational awareness. If they choose to ignore dangerous conditions around them after being warned, then that's on them. We cannot consistently play to the lower common denominator or loudest complainer in the room. Sometimes, you just have to FAFO.

If you get under one of these cells, it's intense. I received 0.64" of rain in 15 min from a cell today. Also, some of the mesonet soil moisture probes are showing fully saturated soils. For example, our flood sensor on Cabin John Branch at Bradley Blvd showed a 5 foot rise in 40 minutes on Saturday. If that storm over Potomac persisted for another 20 to 30 minutes it would have been real trouble. This absolutely justifies the flood watches, IMO.

Yup. That Harney site has been full of surprises. Didn't expect that to be hotter than our Baltimore City site from time to time. More sites in the pipeline hopefully for this summer!
-
So....thoughts on today's severe weather potential?
-
It's specific to Montgomery County, not statewide. I'm actually the program lead for that and was the one interviewed. We currently don't have the capability to get the flood sensor data to the public yet, it's internal to public safety and public works agencies. We are working on a solution to make it public though.

Slight Risk warranted through Friday, IMO. We are in the summer doldrums.
-
Mid level lapse rates are terrible. The cell over Montgomery County barely got off the ground before it collapsed.

Dewpoint on the Upper Marlboro mesonet site is 79°

NAM et al seem to favor areas east of I-95 for this week's activity. West of Frederick it looks like very little in the way of precipitation almost.

Closing in on 2" on Cambridge mesonet site.

Bawlmore summer is like the Carolinas these days.
-
Man if anyone in the metros gets even a few hours of sun today it's going to be rank.
-
Wonder if we get through summer with no more big heat?

Congratulations on capturing a plane that can deliver an operational Burger King to any terrestrial theater of operation on this planet within 24 hours.

A few of the CAMs have some convection drifting south to Carroll, Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil counties this evening. Otherwise things look clear for us.
-
Northwest flow with high DCAPE and terrain assistance. Someone will get a solid storm.
-
Wanted to say that it was really nice to finally meet @Ellinwood the other day. Hopefully you don't sleep through any more big storms!
-
Looks like a fairly straightforward day. Some training thunderstorms with scattered reports of flooding and wet microbursts. Lots of surface CAPE, but the downdraft CAPE and mid level lapse rates aren't too impressive.

Installed a station today. It was far worse outside than last week.

No storms before 4pm Monday please. Working in the field.

Yes! I'm the EMS guy today. Bonus is that my horses didn't roll!!

My wife decided to ignore my meteorological advice and put our Clydesdale horse out for the night at the barn in Finksburg. We spent close to 2 hours cleaning him up for a competition tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain. I don't want to rush a wash tomorrow.
