  1. ooooo I enjoy intense lines .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A lot of sunshine as of 1030am from just west of I-81 and east to the Chesapeake Bay. This will obviously ramp up our temperatures quickly into the lower 90s and our dewpoint temperatures to near 70s by the middle part of this afternoon. A low pressure trough is in place parallel to I-81 with a surface cold front sagging across eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The combination of these two features, along with a mid-level trough and a right entrance jet max sagging into the CWA will allow for numerous thunderstorms, some severe, to develop and possibly forming an intense line around mid-afternoon into this evening. Both MLCAPE and MUCAPE is expected to approach 2000 to 2500 J/kg. 0-3km wind shear will be 15 to 20 knots easily in most places. The main threats will be damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Large hail and flooding rainfall is also a distinct possibility. SPC has Northeast MD and northeastern VA in an Enhanced Risk for severe thunderstorms. WPC has the heart of our CWA in a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall that could lead to Flash Flooding. Timing on supercells or a line of intense thunderstorms reaching the metro areas would be 4pm to 8pm. Much of this activity will reach southern Maryland closer to 8pm to 10pm. Nonetheless, it looks like a busy and stormy day.
  2. I knew that. Doh. Seems to be pretty good agreement on 00z arrival
  3. I don't think I have ever seen you guys use this for severe, but it looks like a good time later so I like it and am expecting it to be right - RGEM lol
  4. Ends up splitting Central MD but sends quite the bow thru NOVA
  5. Trouble brewing in that area from Sterling to Potomac.
  6. Seems like we’re just seeing this precip max just waffle around. Someone’s going to get some trouble tonight it’s just a matter of where.
  7. Yeah it’s menacingly sticky out.
  8. Looks to be another small hook forming in SE Hoco near Savage
  9. That kink entering HoCo looks at least semi interesting
  10. So we thinking this initial activity blows through and we get a the main round a couple hours later?
  11. Showing more discrete activity like before or is it getting us w the line/bow?
  12. Looks like some stuff initiating out near Martinsburg WV
  13. Of course all the activity to the east forms too far E and SE
  14. Since there isn’t a ton going on locally, can we appreciate the cell blasting thru CPA near Benezette? Good god.
  15. Yep, just saw another flash. I’ve had the random instance like this on occasion but this is the most consistent lightning I’ve seen removed from a storm like this.
  16. Just posted in Obs thread about that. I am sitting outside and looked down and thought I was seeing shit lol then heard thunder.
  17. Just got lightning and thunder in Columbia - odd.
