  1. CIPS has a few decent analogs in the 120hr range. June 16, 2008 is in there in the midwest sector.
  2. Annual departmental fishing charter tomorrow - not sure how good things will be with the storms/heavy rain in the area yesterday. All that runoff will probably be heading for the bay. If nothing else, the weather looks fantastic.
  3. 3 vehicles stranded on Goldsboro Rd in MoCo due to high water. Knew it was coming...
  4. Kind of a cool fake "bow" of showers/storms in NoVA at this time.
  5. Decent cell heading for the KLWX radar site. Sub-severe so far.
  6. Just the usual elevated severe analog numbers. way out there though like past 300hrs. We'll see.
  7. How long until the first water rescue near the beltway when somebody drives into deep standing water?
  8. You should report that flooding to NWS - runoff here is really impressive.
  9. Decent CAPE and decent shear equaled this - even in the absence of good ML lapse rates. Also many of us got good sun today. It was a recipe for a good performance of severe weather. Number of LSRs is impressive. This will easily verify the watch and the overall risk area from SPC it looks like. Will be fun to see this show up in future years CIPS guidance.
  10. Marble sized hail at peak in Colesville, MD. Huge runoff down the street and into the creeks near Springbrook HS now. Will be interesting to watch the stream gauge at Kemp Mill.
  11. Juicy 90+ temps can work wonders if the right trigger goes through. We also had enough shear to get some updraft rotation like the earlier discussions. More organized version of the July-style pulse severe we get where a cell goes up but quickly collapses.
  12. Pea sized hail coming down in Colesville, MD! Torrential rain as well. Funny that the lead cell ended up delivering hail for me. The earlier dominant cell will go S of me it seems.
  13. TDCA is seeing some 50-55mph winds with the Montgomery cell still. Wind threat does seem to be a touch lower than before. CIMMS probsevere numbers a bit lower again as well - but could rise again.
  14. New warning deeper into Montgomery. Includes inside the beltway but not DC yet. Warned for 60mph and half dollar hail.
  15. ProbSevere numbers are coming down a bit now with the MoCo/Loudoun cell. Let's see if it collapses or pulses back up at some point. It may be encountering some stabilized airmass as it's now entering the area where the front running cells were.
  16. Some of the hail numbers on the Loudoun/MoCo cell are coming down now. Still a heck of a storm - and a neat shape/look to the cell as a whole on the KLWX radar. So far I haven't seen much ground truth from it, though.
  17. It's a messy looking radar overall. Definitely the signature when there's not much inhibition and stuff just wants to fire.
  18. VIL numbers on the Loudoun/MoCo cell are really impressive. Looks like the core of the VIL will head near or just south of Poolesville on current track.
  19. My guess is that the Loudoun/Montgomery cell may weaken before it gets to me...but that's a really, really nice storm.
  20. The Loudoun cell is preparing to cross over into Montgomery. That cell seems to have some legs so far. That may be the one to watch for the closer in northern DC burbs and even DC proper. It's heading ESE and continues to look impressive both on KLWX and TIAD. Question is the impact of the lead cells near Gaithersburg and the beltway. Those could leave behind a bit of a stabilized airmass for the larger, more intense cell.
  21. Heads up Leesburg! Heck of a cell now. Good velocity continues on the TIAD scans.
  22. ProbSevere for wind spiked big time with the Loudoun cell!
