Hopefully a wetter and not to hot overall summer.

Sunday June 7, 2026 3:28PM EDT High impact tornadic and flooding weather event is currently underway. Thunderstorms and embedded supercells will continue to train over the same areas stretching from the Charlottesville, VA vicinity up through northern VA and into north/central MD just west of the two major beltways exasperating the flash flooding situation in these areas. Strong low-level SSE winds continue to bring in low/mid 70sF dewpoints beneath moderately steep mid-level lapse rates (7+ C/km). This is resulting in over 3000J/kg MLCAPE and with the strong LL shear in place (effective SRH of 250-450 m2/s2) and strong deep-layer shear in general (~60 kt EBWD) organized supercells with be maintain for the remainder of the afternoon and well into the evening hours before the best dynamics lift to the northeast. Tornadic supercells will train over the same or similar spots over the next several hours as this broken line ever so slowly crawls eastwards into the metros (Individual storm motions: 230/40kt. Broken line motion: 310/5kt.) With the dynamics and instability some tornadoes may become strong to significant and possibly long-tracked. Other severe hazards with these storms include severe winds (50-65+kts) and very large hail(2-2.5”+). The other highly impactful threat from these storms will be the major flash flooding. Much of the area will end up with 3 to 6 inches of rain with up to 8”+ in some locations.

3.98" IMBY since Wednesday (Herndon, VA)

3.95" of rain here since Wednesday. 4.96" for May so far. (Herndon, VA)

2.22" since Wednesday for me as of 8:15am this morning.

IAD hit 95+ three days in a row. Impressive for May. Meanwhile, it's 84F in my house. Down from 85F earlier with the A/C on the fritz.

IAD has hit 96F so far.

IAD up to 95F.

IAD up to 91F. 91/65. An @87storms trademark day. Patiently awaiting the next @wxdude64 trademark day.

No it wasn't. That tornado occurred on September 24, 2001. Coming to think about it... it sure was something that we got two different significant/violent tornadoes in the area a little over 7 months apart.

Is there anyone here that was in or around La Plata, MD 24 years ago today?

I got my April Trace in at 1:52pm this afternoon with a brief light burst of some gruapel/mangled snowflakes.

Graupel downpour missed me just to the east in Herndon. 50/31 at IAD currently.

Noticed a faint halo around the sun with the high clouds about half an hour ago.

Happy June-like start to April, Weather family.
