Nice line forming from Fauquier down into Culpeper and movie ESE toward 95 corridor. Remains to be seen if these go severe......

Big hail down toward Charlottesville 

Radar is definitely weak sauce, and it's just gross out.

Here are the averages of 90-degree streaks of 14 days or more. Not imagined this one isn't all that intense so far... did start earlier than many. 

Good stuff....but it feels like using 90 degrees as the point to determine a heat wave seems odd around DC when our average high temp around now is 89-90. Looking at the graph, maybe at least 93 or 95 for three consecutive days is a better indicator of a true heat wave?

No rain here in my part of Stafford County for 14 days, been tough watching things go North, East and South of here with nothing going on here

Happy for all those that got good rain and storms yesterday and overnight. We are now at 14 days since last measurable rainfall here in my part Stafford county. Hopefully something pops sometime soon. Everything was just NE of here over the Potomac in Maryland or just North toward Fairfax, one of the days it’ll work out.

          Exact same situation here just down the road.      I rarely get pissed off at the weather.     Right now, I'm really pissed off at the weather.

Same here around Fredericksburg, haven’t had a drop in 14 days....and it seems as everything blossoms just North, South or East of where I’m located just NW of FXBG

60 mph wind gust at DCA per NWS

You might as well be posting from a different planet compared to what we are seeing in Balt City. The clouds here are about four feet off the deck and it is raining and cold/miserable.

Dang, yeah very different here. Working in yard with the sun, it actually is pretty warm.

Talking about today.....actually not to bad here around FXBG, sun peeking out occasionally and temp around 60-61. Feels nice outside

1.24” with the overnight event, lots of lightning around FXBG, but highest wind gust was 41mph. 

Currently 82/67 just NW of Fredericksburg. Hope to see a light show tonight with the lightning, although, the rain amounts could be pretty heavy (1”+) over a few areas.
