Will this be the largest surge event since Isabell?

I will be curious to read/hear wind reports later from those of you living on the mid-upper bay...

I have a PWS located at the edge of the Bay in Annapolis that's got pretty full exposure to southeasterly winds off the Bay:

Also one that's slightly less exposed:

On a related note, what radar apps/websites are you all using? I used to use marylandwx but their radar site has been down for months now. 

I am using RadarScope for iOS and MacOS. It's the best I've found so far.

Honestly KDOX provides pretty good coverage for this area so it's not a real problem. Just wondering what happened to KBWI.

I see that the KLWX WSR88D is out of service for an upgrade, scheduled to return on 6/30. It looks like now TBWI is offline as well, for unknown reasons. Anyone know what's going on there, and an estimated return to service date?

Looks like we have ourselves a watch as well:

A little late, but here's what we saw of the Annapolis tornado from Crab Creek:

What the heck is up with this warning box?

A few trees and branches down near my office in Crofton. Was definitely the most intense thunderstorm of 2021 for me. We had a lightning strike right outside our office that took out our office network and cooked the electronics in one of our employees' cars. 

Pretty intense velocity scan just south of me here:

Incoming!

Some sort of interference. There has been a lot of talk about it during prior precip events going back a year or so (or more). 

They are working on tracking it down. I operate a wireless network on the east side of DC and was contacted by a FCC enforcement agent trying to find out where the offending transmitter was located.

And now we're back to sleet but that was probably the heaviest snow we've seen all year. 

Where in Annapolis are you? Here in Bay Ridge I've only got ~3/4" of accumulation. Looks like I've been in a dry slot, but that might change here in a few minutes.

No/light precip here in Annapolis:

From Annapolis in the TOR box very close to where the remnants of the couplet that started in the Riva area, we got ~1.5" of rain in the span of a few minutes, max 30mph winds, and TONS of lightning. My parents saw a boat struck by lightning in the Severn river in front of their house. They said it was smoking after being struck.

Transitioning to sun and blue skies here in Annapolis, with dews creeping into the mid/high 70s:

Not much from this round out here in Annapolis. More wind than yesterday (still only 21MPH) and significantly fewer lightning strikes.

Ended up getting hit with an initial round of convection here in Annapolis before the main squall line went through.

Part one actually had some pea-sized hail along with torrential downpours. Second one also had torrential downpours, but contained stronger winds. No reports of damage here, but friends in Rockville reported several downed trees in their neighborhood. 

We had a few smaller (<50') trees down here in Bay Ridge (Annapolis) near the waterfront. Highest gust at my house, which is somewhat protected by surrounding trees, was 39mph at 11:15 AM.

So...I know this isn't exactly on topic (although this is severe weather)...But I wasn't on these forums during the derecho back in 2012. How much in advance did the various know it was coming? (man that was some epicness that night!)

Here's the thread if you've got a few minutes:

"Then the front on Friday should bring at least a DC split." lol
