  1. Major outage in Eastern MoCo and western PGCO. Been out since around 2am. Generator picked a great night to fail.... Must be a big transmission line or substation. Usually those get isolated quick... No such luck this time. Seems over 20K are impacted.
  2. Some crazy radar estimates for rain amounts in parts of Montgomery.
  3. Radar just keeps blossoming for MoCo. If this keeps up it could get a bit more serious.
  4. My PWS lightning count is up to 491 from all this activity. Has tended to estimate low compared to what is reality as well.
  5. Backbuilding/new cells developing back towards Seneca in Montgomery Co. Will reinforce any small creek/urban flood threat . Even a minor hail marker showing on the TIAD scans.
  6. 0z HRRR keeps activity forming overnight - appears non-severe of course, but some areas could still be in the game for some quick downpours even as late as 10z.
  7. Somewhere in the area between Wolf Trap to NW DC up in the MoCo Belway area to College Park is probably going to see a Flood Warning (or FFW) at some point. Lots of heavy rain sticking around.
  8. Yep - new little cell. Not seeing much lightning on it. We are probably transferring to more of a heavy rain threat with any new activity. Beefy stuff up by Baltimore could still trigger a warning or two.
  9. Doesn't look like it'll cycle up like the original storm did. Radar looking messy now as more little cells start to pop up elsewhere (W of Leesburg, Laytonsville, Sykesville, N of Ellicott City.
  10. Some new strikes being shown near Potomac on the ENTLN data coinciding with some weak but new reflectivity returns in that area. Maybe some back building? These storms are relatively slow movers too...definite risk of urban or small stream/creek flooding.
  11. The original warning was updated as well to indicate the trees down reports from Potomac, MD (pretty close to my office, actually!).
  12. Seems there are two "cores" or local maxes in reflectivity. One is down W of Kensington area and the other is that new warning. The new warning is the dominant one it seems.
  13. MCFRS PIO is tweeting several storm reports of trees down in the Potomac area.
  14. TDCA still has a good hail indicator on it, though. CIMMS probsevere product has 57% for wind and 20% for hail.
  15. VIL numbers are weakening from the LWX radar on this storm.
  16. Yes. THere are strikes being shown between Montgomery Village and Brookeville.
  17. Doing a rough summation of the lightning indicators from AllisonHouse yields really high numbers. This weekend in particular...likely to be tons of people outdoors. Hope they are heeding the warnings.
  18. TDCA showing 52kft tops now. Nearly continuous rumbles of thunder being heard here now. The little "arms" of the storm are into Glenmont now. Should be raining here momentarily. We'll see if it maintains or starts to collapse. Decent amount of juice to work with based on the earlier SPC meso maps.
  19. PWS lightning detector keeps going up, up, up. 62 69 strikes associated with this storm already - and it's definitely missed some I'm sure.
  20. TDWRs are showing echo tops already nearing 50kft now with that cell.
  21. Warned. Really impressive cell thus far. Already seeing some outflow on it - hoping it doesn't just collapse. Warning has a decent trajectory for MBY
  22. Is that a potential downburst signature on that cell now? Looks like all the TDWRs and the LWX radar are seeing winds moving away from each other.
  23. Pretty quick uptick in lightning on that MoCo/Fairfax/Potomac cell. That may have some legs to it, actually!
  24. Little shower developing along the Potomac near Great Falls. Probably will be just enough to stabilize me as it passes over
