Big time rotation on the storm just northeast of Westminster. Surprised there's no tornado warning on it yet.

Now tornado warned. Figured it would be.

May have been a brief touchdown just south of Ft Meade. Anyone there confirm?

Even if Milton simply maintains intensity, I would expect this to be the case given we are approaching diurnal max. Now if he strengthens further tonight... get ready for some even more impressive colors to show themselves soon.

There was a definitive hook as that complex crossed into Maryland. I would not be surprised if we see a report of a brief touchdown in Southern PA tomorrow morning. Seems to have developed into a more of a squall line at this juncture.

Debris being lofted over 1500 feet in the MoCo cell apparently.

Appears to be. Warning reflects radar confirmed as well. A bit of a couplet near Perry Hall now as well.

Many of these warnings seem to be precautionary with broad areas of rotation, with the exception being the Leesburg cell for a time.

Wow. Leesburg TW now radar confirmed.

I'm counting this as a "winter weather advisory watch".

First signs of snow mixing in here in Owings Mills.

I know its only the 18z NAM (and at range), but at 78 hours it is substantially further south from it's 12z run. Seems that there is quite a bit more confluence from the northern stream. Maybe a nice start going into happy hour?

And there's the TW but radar isn't looking as impressive the last few scans.

Certainly some broad rotation just E of White Marsh but nothing of immediate concern at the moment. If there is going to be a brief spin-up soon, it would likely be in that area.
