Guess we shall see...

Don't forget that the KLWX radar will be out of service until the end of the month (it's already down to start maintenance)

Pretty good day for the region and into AKQ CWA for severe weather reports, SLGT definitely verified

New storms with lightning firing back in W MD

I don't think so

Ping pong ball sized hail with the storm now per trained spotters

Seeing some hooking tendency on the cell and some purple showing up on Radarscope

Looks right it made a SE turn from its prior east movement

Just got warned... tagged at 1.75" hail marker

Well written discussion this morning from LWX NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A potent upper-level shortwave is moving through the Ohio Valley into Tennessee early this morning. In fact, you can see a reflection to the surface in the form of low pressure. Increased divergence aloft has caused weak low pressure to develop around a boundary near the Virginia Piedmont. Light southeast winds have developed in response to this low, causing a little moisture advection as well as low-level convergence around the Piedmont and east of Interstate 95. A few showers and thunderstorms have developed across these areas early this morning, and this may continue. The threat for severe storms seems low since instability is still limited, but small hail and gusty winds are possible. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are also associated with the potent shortwave/low pressure over southeastern Ohio into WV and PA. This activity will move into the area from the northwest early this morning. There is a relative min in instability across northern VA, the Potomac Highlands and eastern WV, so while there will be showers with perhaps a few thunderstorms, the probability for severe storms is low. A stronger storm may impact areas west of the Allegheny Front between 5 and 8 AM this morning where instability may be a bit higher on the western side of the mountains. The shortwave will move through our area later this morning into this afternoon, and a band of showers along with a couple thunderstorms will continue to gradually push southeast during this time. Latest guidance continues to show activity strengthening along the outflow boundary of this system late this morning into this afternoon. This is due to falling heights and daytime heating ahead of it. With stronger shear profiles and steep low-level lapse rates, this suggests that some storms may be severe with damaging winds and large hail being the primary threats. Exactly how far north and west the severe threat makes it with the first round is uncertain, but it does appear that the best chance for strong to severe storms will be across central Virginia south of Interstate 66 and east of Interstate 95 across central MD into the Baltimore Metropolitan area as well as northeastern MD between 15 to 18z, and around 18-21z for southern MD. However, the potent shortwave will lag behind, passing through our area late this afternoon and evening. The cold front associated with this system will due so during this time as well. Therefore, there will be a period where the atmosphere can recharge around mid to late afternoon ahead of the cold front. This is tough to do, but given the longer days this time of year and cold air aloft, it seems likely at this time. Therefore, more showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop ahead of the cold front (best chance near and east of Interstate 81) around mid to late afternoon before propagating eastward toward the Bay this evening. More severe storms are possible due to steep low-level lapse rates and strong shear profiles as well as more DCAPE during this time as well. Damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats. The cold front will move off to the east later this evening into the early overnight while the upper-level trough axis swings through. A northwest flow will gradually dry things out during this time, and it will turn out cool and less humid overnight with falling dewpoints.

Pop up storm down by Orange

Hmmm... interesting choice by the USMNT... Berhalter to return as coach
