Under a shower right now raining pretty hard.

Looks like rain should move back in any moment with heavier stuff behind it. Very interesting to have the rain coming in from the Atlantic Ocean.

Starting to hear thunder. Lights around the house have been flickering already.

Radar looks ok to the west already, hopefully storms make it in and cool things down.

Refreshing out there today after the cold front. It was chilly early this morning with the breeze when I went out for a smoke.

Yep was wondering the same.

Heard a couple people say there was some hail last night but wasn’t looking outside only heard the downpour and thunder. Should get interesting after 2 PM, been slight risked in the DC metro area. Ready for round 2.

Occasional thunder in Vienna.

Under a downpour right now.

Extreme thunderstorms on the way.

Expect extreme thunderstorms Sunday with 100 degree heat.

Hour 300 cat 5 up the bay

Sunday sounds interesting with all that extreme heat the thunderstorms that could form could be severe.

100 degrees on Saturday is looking possible. Rare early season heat dome, imagine another heat dome comes later in the summer, could be like the one in the PAC NW in 2021 when the highest temperature recorded in all of Canada was recorded at 121.3 degrees. Interesting stuff.
