Feel like these are going to pack a punch. Occurring at peak heating

[emoji44][emoji24] .

Holding out hope for the next couple of hours. “Further to the southwest into MD and VA, convection has largely struggled to remain sustained over the past hour - likely due to generally weak forcing for ascent driven mainly by diurnal heating and some lift along a diffuse lee trough axis. However, early signs of convective development has been recently along an outflow boundary associated with upstream convection across WV. Deeper convection may materialize east of the Appalachians as the boundary moves into a more buoyant air mass. Very warm surface conditions (temperatures in the upper 90s, low 100s) are resulting in deep boundary-layer mixing up to 2 km, which, when combined with PWAT values around 1.75 inch, should be supportive of wet downbursts with an attendant severe/damaging wind risk. Convective coverage remains uncertain, but recent WoFS guidance continues to show at least scattered thunderstorm development, suggesting the wind risk continues across southern portions of WW 548.”

Im holding out hope that complex in the Alleghenies does something when it gets here. HRRR didn’t really model what’s happening there now.

I did the same thing. Didn’t feel like keeping it at 72 with it running non stop. .

You have woods nearby.

Even with two brand new central air units… my cape cod is struggling to stay below 75 inside.

Certainly warm out, but it’s a comfortable dry heat. .

Me either. Driving home from the blue ridge I noticed some cumulus sprouting straight up. Apparently there’s no cap, but lacking any sort of trigger (other than the heat)

Supposed to storm today? .

I just looked outside, and the oak trees in my yard are dancing, and it looks like the bushes in the grass are doing the jitterbug.

I’ve been digging around about energy usage issues but haven’t found anything. Have you? .

Uhh? .

It is. I walked across it, although this is up past Harper’s Ferry. .

It’s mornings like this that make me wanna have a summer home in Canada someday. .

Yeah it didn’t quite rip like I had hoped it would. .

.

Radar went from nil to bonkers in three frames. .

Yes. This blows last week out of the water. .

Radar quiet. Feels like a day where it blossoms seemingly without reason.

Bright blue skies. Temps taking off.

Im glad it wasn’t me overreacting! At onset it had that freight train roar to it. From the same cell, Mike Thomas reported some serious down drafts from it not long after it crossed the river. http:// https://x.com/miketfox5/status/1806149040158949560?s=46 .

Probably a little both. We had some strong gusts at the onset. I have a 100 foot tall sycamore that looked like it bent about 30 degrees. I live in a neighborhood known to have a lot of old/large white oak trees so it’s common unfortunately. Power back on at 3 am. Toddler son slept like a baby. I ran a small generator to a small window ac unit to keep second floor of home relatively cool. I did not sleep. So I’m taking off work and going back to bed [emoji23] [emoji12] .

I uploaded it just for you. If you watch the whole thing, you’ll see multiple flashes. Then what looks like either an electrical arc or some sort of fire maybe? And then you can see it blow the power to the whole neighborhood.

Watched the neighborhood substation appear to blow up. No power. No AC. Sigh. .
