Quite a history of 3 inch hail with it seems as well ETA: Also moving east at 60mph per the latest SWS... trucking right along

I would bet SPC keeps the mod risk for the 0600 DAY 1 OTLK. Probably ratchets up the wording a bit and perhaps mentions potential to upgrade... but IMO can't see HIGH being issued till later in the morning i.e. the 1300 OTLK if there is going to be one

3 inch hail reported by spotters in Jefferson City, MO

disco talks about giant hail possible

Looks like our first chance in a while of some thunderstorms, maybe even an isolated severe threat is on Sunday afternoon

Reading the AFD tonight makes me think we will be seeing alot of rain over the next few weeks... talks of potential flooding too. Hope we can get some good storms as well

Sorry to hear that... that really sucks We're currently fighting with OSSE and Fairfax to get paid for our school after this month. We are a private therapeutic day school, level 5 school. We basically get all of the DC kids that they can't teach in regular schools - special education and others... and all of the VA kids we have are ones who got kicked out of regular school and sent to us as a last stop before being sent to residential. We've sent work home to the kids (nearly 100 in total) in the past two weeks and are preparing to do so again to prove that we are still teaching the kids even if not online. I hope your wife is able to find something quickly

I'm betting they'll join VA or at least close through mid-May at earliest... @mappy had tweeted that they are meeting tomorrow to discuss it

I expect Maryland to follow suit or be closed till sometime in May... NC schools are closed through May 15th

Richmond reached 88 today, breaking the record of 85 set in 1948 https://mobile.twitter.com/MegWiseNBC12/status/1241115479063887873

Hope all those with kids are ready for schools to be out till at least May... DCPS is closed till April 27th at the earliest now. Not trying to make fun of any parents or anything... just saying get ready for more staying at home trying to entertain them once school work goes by the wayside

Record set in 1945... got to love the rest of the info though lol https://mobile.twitter.com/iembot_lwx/status/1241116489551355911
