Herb@MAWS Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just an observation: Left DC at 3pm w/a rather high ceiling / general overcast, only a few breaks. As I headed north, could see a lot of blue slivers in the sky and by the time I got to Columbia, pretty much sunshine thru high, broken clouds. Up to 89.3 IMBY, the high for the day. Can't hurt to be under full sun for the next hour or so, especially with that one cell over KFDK, making an apparent SE-ward beeline toward Columbia area.

I am on the Western side of it and it looks like it will just scrape by me. the competing updrafts dont seem to be helping. it might just fall apart. it's turning a little too much to the right anyway.

Ellinwood Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Frederick storm's losing its punch on the latest scans, but its got a decent outflow boundary that could trigger new cells ahead of it with 3000-4000 MUCAPE to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 the competing updrafts dont seem to be helping. it might just fall apart. it's turning a little too much to the right anyway. If it is in fact turning more right than it would be headed more towards me now. I can just now see the leading edge to my N. Mostly dark skies but some structure.

Mostly dark skies but some structure. well it's not super extreme and may just be that the western cell became dominant. but it has turned a bit right since near the border. i just hope i get out of work before the tornado later.
