Kmlwx Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Tornadoes love La Plata. Weird. The Potomac enhances these things. Pretty evident that we do indeed have mini tornado alleys around our region. I think there's another one in S central PA like in the Chambersburg, PA area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2008 it seemed like the Fredericksburg/Stafford area had become its own little tornado alley, but we haven't had any years that were like that since.

Tater Tot Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Whatever radar Doug Kammerer is using right now looks like it has a bit of a debris ball. Edit: Never mind, just lost it with the new scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Cute pebble sized hail here. No hail here just 1.5 miles to your south. It looked like the core just missed us to the north. Based on Bob's pic, I'd say the radar was dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Did not see any tornadic-style circulation on either Andrews or Reagan, which is what would be more accurate than the NEXRAD for lower circulations. The supercell had strong mid-level rotation for awhile, so seeing the TOR get issued when it did was confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
