Maybe its just me, but the current line looks a lot weaker than the line the HRRR predicted for this timeframe... Hopefully they get going after they get over the mountains

it's a marginal setup.. it could easily suck. the best dynamics are north and the best instability is south. we just gotta keep our fingers crossed. :scooter:

Forbes just upped his Torcon to 4 in PA...didn't say anything about VA

based on the maps it's more a PA threat.. but usually the tail end of the line can produce as well. the cell moving toward loudoun is slightly interesting looking, some rotation at higher scans.

doesnt look like much more than random rotation at the lower level so far.. only seen on a scan or two tho im using free radar

The Grlevel3 shows somewhat interesting velocity scan, but I'm not sure I know how to read it. A Friend in purcellville called and saying there are several "finger clouds" near her area. Not sure what to make of that...

Edit: Wind shift to the WSW now... I guess thats it.
