Anyone have thoughts after 12z runs?

10:50 AM in Purcellville --> 89.9/79/106 --> It is thick outside - a wall of steamy madness! 

LWX Discussion had some good Climate Summary data

Cell north of Culpepper looks interesting.

   Areas affected...the Mid-Atlantic into southern New York and
   southwestern New England

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 111902Z - 112100Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm development is expected this
   afternoon across the mid-Atlantic northward into southern New York
   and southwestern New England. Severe wind gusts and hail are
   possible with the strongest storms.

   DISCUSSION...Some deeper convective attempts are underway this
   afternoon across portions of the mid-Atlantic, particularly in
   southern New York as of 1900z. This development is occurring in a
   warm, unstable airmass with surface temperatures in the upper 80s
   and lower 90s F and MLCAPE values around 2000+ J/kg. The 18z
   ALB/Albany, NY sounding sampled the northern periphery of this
   airmass (along the CAPE gradient) with 0-6-km shear of 24 kts. This
   has supported some sporadic, more organized thunderstorm development
   recently.

   As the afternoon progresses, diurnal heating should support
   additional thunderstorm development across the region. Furthermore,
   a mid-level impulse in eastern OH -- influencing the ongoing
   convection in WW312 -- will continue moving eastward and should
   provide additional support for convective initiation and maturation.
   Bulk shear is expected to remain generally in the 15-25 kt range
   which, amidst forecast large MLCAPE around 2500-3000 J/kg, will
   promote strong updrafts capable of producing wind gusts and hail.
   Uncertainty remains as to how much convection will develop and
   coalesce/strengthen in the short term, but trends will continue to
   be monitored for possible watch issuance this afternoon.

94 .. HI 108.. DP 78... Worst weather 

Gfs wants to end the drought in the extended outlook. Tropical moisture could try.. I know it's way out and not right. 

38.4 degrees for the low. No Frost but pretty cold

86.5 today was quite hot honestly. Not humid though. Watching the storms/rain progress slowly south. 

Sleet and snow now in Purcellville. Mainly sleet

Shall move to Discobs since it is not severe related from now on

That is impressive! almost 30 degrees in 2 hours! 

Down to 36 here in Purcellville. Windy and rainy

Ominous temperature out right now!

24.4 for a low. 25.5 currently 

Snow now and down to 36.

Basically, had a heavy shower that made things go to all sleet and even some slush balls, but as soon as it got lighter it went back to rain with some sleet and now just light rain with an occasional pinger. So, type of precip seems rate dependent which makes sense. Close to 38..was a bit cooler in the heavy precipitation 

Rain mixing snow and sleet. 38.1

41.9 here in Purcellville. Temp dropped 2 degrees the last 20 mins. It was 72 around 4am. Pretty dramatic changes

In accordance with tradition from another weather community I'm in, I'm committing to a salt bet: If DCA reports 0.1" or more of accumulated snow, I will eat a tablespoon of salt.

You must record it and share 

Spidy sense on that storm north of Luray. 

84.7 for a high. That is crazy. Ac was tested today

40's to around 50 dewpoints are far from humid.

True! Just not ready for the heat!
