  1. Transient small hail indicator on the cell developing near Kensington. Heading ENE.
  2. There's been some HRRR runs that have had a decent looking cell going across Central MD and then over to the Bay. So far, looks like updrafts have struggled - to be expected on a not even marginal risk day - thankful for any rain that can move overhead though.
  3. And of course there's always exceptions to the nighttime rule. We've had plenty of prolific lightning producers overnight that aren't severe - but could qualify if lightning was a determining factor. I guess it will depend on whether the instability becomes elevated in the overnight period. At least we have some days to track.
  4. That MCS on the 12km NAM for Saturday favors Virginia heavily. Also, the timing for the Sunday PM stuff seems to be overnight on that run - not ideal for daytime heating but we'll see how it trends.
  5. KLWX is back online for those that had not noticed. Right on schedule.
  6. GFS has much less instability for the same time period. We'll see how the modeling coverages Saturday into Sunday. If nothing else it's more chances at thunder and lightning to at least spice up the boring weather!
  7. 18z 12km NAM has some decent parameters flowing in on Sunday evening. But...it's also the NAM at range.
  8. June 29, 2012 is probably not going to see a parallel here for YEARS.
  9. Interesting mention for severe potential in the morning AFD from LWX.
  10. The H5 indicates it would go south and west of us. There will seemingly be chance for storms (maybe severe) in the next week or so (not each day but mixed in). GFS seems to have a decent cluster come through Sunday PM.
  11. Plenty of thunder and a decent slug of heavy rain here in Colesville but nothing severe. Great to get the rain, though. Down to 67.6 degrees for the temp and 67 for the dewpoint. The soupy air has sucked - but at least there's payoff now.
  12. The NoVA cell/complex looks pretty fierce on the KDOX radar - looks good on the terminal radars as well. KAKQ is showing 40,000ft tops.
  13. 100% agreed. Despite the other radars being obviously worse than LWX for many areas - it is great having so many failovers.
  14. Despite the terminal radars, not having the KLWX radar has been a major detriment. Nonetheless - looking at the KDOX radar seems to show a decent (albeit messy) cluster of storms forming. Seems many areas that missed out yesterday should at least pickup some thunder and rainfall if sub-severe.
  15. PWS picking up lightning now. 5 strikes so far today. At least we'll get some rain!
  16. DCAPE is seemingly always a factor that performs for us even in potentially marginal events.
  17. HRRR looks semi decent for at least storms today - severity to be determined.
  18. Actually pretty amusing to see the storm tracks. The ones in PA are heading almost straight north, while the stuff that was in VA is heading east. Would have been tough to draw up a more perfect DC screwjob.
  19. LWX must have turned on a storm repellent while the radar was down. I did see a single drop of rain (but it may have been a bird pissing) when I got out of the car coming home from work. That's about what today amounted to IMBY.
  20. Link to a Tweet with a map - the map claims 50 states...but literally not a peep has been announced for anything over the DMV region. I guess if I have to haul my butt up to Gettysburg...you'd think if they were going to make a very public showing all of this event...they'd make it easier to see. Even the PA one just has a sectional map showing the flight path and a general announcement that it will be over the PA State House at noon. Not helpful.
  21. Yeah - radar looks awful for many of us. That Ellicott City cell is okay
