Loudoun Storm is no joke! But I am truly fringed here just west of Purcellville. Lights have flickered multiple times.

If you go outside and sneeze you may cause a cloud today! It is so steamy out there! 81 with a dp of 74 YUCK!

I am all messed up for the weekend. On the Fourth of July, where we celebrate the Independence from England, I am actually rooting for a model that is partially produced by the UK! It is Ironic! LOL!

That second line is about to get Garrett County! I suspect it will weaken once in the area, but looks quite impressive now!

That was really awesome. There is a ton of lightning in these storms. My son and I were filming but the rain was shielding most of the bolts. I know I got some! That was the best of the season so far out this way.

Insane here in Purcellville!!! Best winds of the season

Radarscope ha 2 inch hail indicated, Not sure what the ground truth is, but see some hail signatures in there.

Ya!

53 this morning

SO AMAZING OUTSIDE! Temp 68 and DP of 59!

I like Reolink cameras and the solar panel recharging is awesome! No need to run wires!

WPC getting in on potential for heavy downpours! https://origin.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/metwatch/metwatch_mpd_multi.php?md=0343&yr=2021

Lots of wild interactions with outflow boundaries tonight. Wild to see stuff collide and sometimes explode in convection.

I see a DP on my Weather station of 66 now.. That feels a bit high as it feels pretty nice outside. Will have to see. I feel another meso is coming soon for the MD/NoVa area. BTW - I know feelings mean nothing when it comes to weather.. just seems like that is the next area that could be impacted in some way.

I have no idea.. cold air funnels, I would think, would happen in winter. Maybe it is any time that there is enough contrast in temps that it would occur.

Yea, this looks like a landspout and not a major tornado by the way he is flying. Like small waterspouts, they can have lighter winds. From Landspout - Wikipedia Landspouts are a type of tornado that forms during the growth stage of a cumulus congestus cloud by stretching boundary layer vorticity upward and into the cumulus congestus's updraft. These generally are smaller and weaker than supercell tornadoes and do not form from a mesocyclone or pre-existing rotation in the cloud. Because of this, landspouts are rarely detected by Doppler weather radar.[3] Landspouts share a strong resemblance and development process to that of waterspouts, usually taking the form of a translucent and highly laminar helical tube. "They are typically narrow, rope-like condensation funnels that form while the thunderstorm cloud is still growing and there is no rotating updraft", according to the National Weather Service.[4] Landspouts are considered tornadoes since a rapidly rotating column of air is in contact with both the surface and a cumuliform cloud. Not all landspouts are visible, and many are first sighted as debris swirling at the surface before eventually filling in with condensation and dust.

WOW!

Latest 2 frames looks like it is weakening some now.

That cluster in Pennsylvania is interesting. We will see how all this pans out today, but it has my interest.
