https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0304.html Mesoscale Discussion 0304 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1252 AM CDT Wed Apr 08 2020 Areas affected...Portions of southeastern OH...northern WV...southwestern PA...western MD...and far northern VA Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85... Valid 080552Z - 080715Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85 continues. SUMMARY...A line of strong to severe storms capable of producing mainly damaging winds will continue east-southeastward. Downstream watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...Storms have grown upscale across parts of southeastern OH into western PA, with mainly severe/damaging winds being reported, including a gust to 75 mph at the Pittsburgh International Airport. The airmass downstream of this ongoing convection is not particularly unstable given cooler low-level temperatures and less low-level moisture. With MUCAPE generally 500-1000 J/kg, storms may have a tendency to become slightly elevated with time, particularly with eastward extent. Still, given the well-organized nature of the line and strong outbound velocities noted on KPBZ radar, there appears to be a continued strong to damaging wind threat that may extend to the south/southeast of ongoing Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85. Accordingly, another watch may be needed across parts of southwestern PA into western MD and the eastern WV Panhandle. ..Gleason/Thompson.. 04/08/2020 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Wow... impressive PRELIMINARY LOCAL STORM REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC 1140 PM EDT TUE APR 07 2020 ..TIME... ...EVENT... ...CITY LOCATION... ...LAT.LON... ..DATE... ....MAG.... ..COUNTY LOCATION..ST.. ...SOURCE.... ..REMARKS.. 1019 PM HAIL SPOTTSWOOD 37.95N 79.21W 04/07/2020 E1.00 INCH AUGUSTA VA 911 CALL CENTER HAIL ACCUMULATING 2 INCHES DEEP ON I-81 NEAR SPOTSWOOD CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AND PARTIALLY CLOSED THE HIGHWAY && EVENT NUMBER LWX2000890

LWX evening AFD update agrees with you

STWatch issued until 3AM for where the MCS is developing back in OH and MI - https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0084.html

0100 SPC OTLK mentions MCS complex rolling through overnight with large hail and damaging winds as a threat

LWX states spotter activation maybe needed overnight in their updated HWO Also zones have severe wording in them for overnight and tomorrow morning

Big hail core in the supercell in N WV right now

2000 SPC OTLK states that threat for severe hail and wind should increase as diurnal heating continues and references the MCD Eskimo Joe posted above

Looks like the sun is trying hard to come back out here

LWX afternoon AFD seems to think 2 more rounds to go... one this evening and one overnight

Hmmm... new Day 1 is 15 hail and 15 wind... all of LWX CWA is in SLGT... hatched hail is off in the Ohio Valley... but disco seems to imply it could get moved eastward some later today... also seems to imply a 1-2 punch for us - afternoon risk and then nocturnal threat

I'm watching Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery... i like it so far

Alright... who broke the sensor?

Big earthquake earlier this evening in ID... 2nd biggest on record I believe in that state... 6.5 magnitude

Which will likely be quite a while unfortunately... I miss thunderstorms

Trying again north of Richmond

Looks like CI trying hard NE of Farmville... but got smushed lol

Figured we should bump this thread since we are discussing drought conditions again already in the main thread lol

Um okay... that escalated quickly in the evening AFD

00z NAM still has some decent looking soundings at 21z tomorrow around the region
