  1. Wind signature near The Plains.
  2. I always "forget" - but lightning is SUCH a good indicator a lot of times in terms of how a storm is trending. The one well NW of Luray has COPIOUS lightning with it.
  3. Watching the stuff to the west of Front Royal/Luray areas for the greater DC area later.
  4. Original spot ended up being closed after I drive out there this morning. Thought I was going to get scraps around the mall area. Got some great shots instead! Glad I didn't rage quit and go home. Toasty out there earlier, though...not looking forward to months of hazy, humid heat...;
  5. Even the lower CSU is still in the 15% range for wind. Given how boring things have been - I'll take it for some thunderstorm activity!
  6. Yeah for sure - I mean am I right in saying that it is mostly attributed to the "doldrums" of summer and just weaker overall systems later in summer? At least spring/very early summer you can still get some dynamic systems with big temperature swings behind fronts and such. I will say - sometimes you will (like you said) get an isolated event that has an absolutely destructive microburst in the area - if that happens in a populated area that can be a "signature event" for some people for a given year.
  7. Boring, allergy-laden weather, lovely…fire danger increasing too
  8. That report shows "wind gusts estimated 65-70mph" in the LSR on GR2AE. Not sure why the numerical value is 81mph. Also not sure which line to believe lol.
  9. I thought CIG was "reasonable max intensity" not "this is what we expect"? Given that DCA gusted to 68mph - that's right up there and not sure an additional 7mph would have caused a appreciable difference in damage. But not sure.
  10. I was kind of shocked that they didn't include one more tier west of counties. I guess they were relying heavily on the boiler plate "in AND around the watch area"
  11. ANDREWS AFB,MD (ADW) ASOS reports gust of 51 knots (58.7 mph) from WNW @ 0128Z -- KADW 170128Z 30038G51KT 5SM +RA SQ SCT015 BKN024 OVC031 09/04 A2939 RMK BKN V SCT CIG 022 RWY01L PRESRR SLP959 $
