It's in a mini-cold sink. Cannan of the Maryland Piedmont

Impressive

I didn’t think 60 was ever really in the cards for this event. The boundary layer really only has ~45 kts. I want to see 60kts in order to get 60mph.

Looks like it's making it over the mountains fairly easily.

The Keysers Ridge RWIS had a gust to 53 mph.

Garrett Co is getting pounded right now.

The Polar front? Most definitively, the snow squall up in PA?... eh.. maybe a few flurries.

I don't know why more people aren't in here. This is very exciting and rare for this area meteorologically.

The Alleghenies got an SPC MD. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0070.html

I may have worded that wrong. I mean that the lightning is picking off (ie. hitting) antennas or turbines, as is common in winter time events. Like the lightning has a choice in what it hits. . I have absolutely no doubt that lightning is actually occurring.

Was just looking at that. GOES GLM is showing a few strikes with the leading edge of the polar front. Wouldn't be surprised if it's picking off antennas or turbines.

I have a small bone to pick with LWX: PGF driven CAA does not equal an LLJ! LLJ's are either nocturnal boundary layer decoupling driven events or cyclogenesis driven ahead of a cold front. /steps off ant hill

Oh, hey, -SN... maybe --SN.

For Frederick? About 3AM.
