That initial line punch came from the NW into here. Now looking on the back side of that bow stuff is moving up from the SW and will dump some more on me. 1.16" currently and still coming down.

Early analysis is that these aren’t severe here (I’ve seen a few similar storms the last couple summers), but it doesn’t matter…we need the rain and we’re getting it.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see 1-1.5”+ in the gauges around here, when all is said and done.

I am closing in on a inch right now. 

That tornado warning just popped up on my radar South of Philomont.

Congrats all of MD.  That is a huge bow and I bet the winds will rip when that hits

We cannot see anything out our windows.

Take a screenshot and post that.

Nope no go. It is telling me that my file would exceed the total allowed size of 8.978kB, and was skipped.

iPhone? Email it to yourself. Medium.

I have tried that and other options no go. We are about to get smacked here!

Wow the wind!

Wow the line is advancing on my house. The colors are crazy! I would post a photo but I can never make it small enough to post. 

Starting to look interesting behind my house.

Kind of surprised that Thurmont storm doesn't have a tornado warning.

Yeah my daughter and I were looking at that.

I'm on 70 just west of Frederick getting ready to chase is beast coming coming towards South Mountain. 

I just asked my oldest if she wanted to get in the car and go over to 340 to take a look. 

NWS Baltimore just did a live Facebook information post. Being very concise and to the point about taking this system seriously. They said it was there first ever live post and I hope that many people have watched it. 

I got a SWS for that storm up in Washington Co. Under Damage threat it says Considerable. I am familiar with the new terms in the warnings so this caught my eye. 

Saying golf ball sized hail and 70 mph wind gusts

I'd think it's a good call for just about any "evening activities" anywhere to just postpone or cancel, just out of caution at least.

The oldest kid just got an email from American U. She is not in summer classes but the email was to tell students on campus that things are shutting early today due to inclement weather.

I believe 18?

Thanks! She is 19 so I think I will tell her to take 2 hours out of her day and do the online course. I know we have a few NW DC folks in here. She goes to AU. 

Want to keep the severe thread clear so putting this here for more eyes. 

How old do you have to be a trained spotter? I am a spotter but my oldest has the same interest in weather that I do. I told her she should take the course and get trained. She goes to school in DC, will be moving back down there in 3 weeks, so splits her time between there and Frederick. I just looked and you can take the course online now if you cannot in person or virtual.

Holy hell 

Yeah I just got that through my Carrot weather app. 

Carrot just insulted me with a special weather statement. Actually has in it reviewing my sever weather protocol. And making sure flying objects are secured. 

81/73 dew, with light winds out of the SW. Scattered clouds. Am sitting out on my deck as it is still in shade till about noon. Not too bad in the shade right now. Can feel the humidity/dew though. 

All my conditions can be seen in the link in my posts for real time updates. Ballanger Creek Backyard Weather station. 

Sitting out on the deck this morning getting my meal plans done for the next two weeks. Not too bad out, but the deck is shaded in the morning as it faces NW. Brought the catio back out and the cats are happy. 

80/73 currently with scattered clouds and sun. Slight wind from the W.

I just put the catio out for the day. So that means I cancled any chances of storms for my area. 

And @MillvilleWx remember when I told you to drag back some weather from TX. You may have done good. 

Frederick has sun. Broke through about 20-30 min ago.

The sun has broken through here in Frederick. 

Well we got a random pop up 2 min downpour last night around 7. Gave me .05. The older Ms J and myself got all excited, shows you how storm deprived we are. 
 

Have noticed in just the past 15 min while there are still clouds it is getting brighter out. 

Well knock me over it is actually raining here. Some thunder and lightning as well.
