Mesoscale Discussion 1310
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1209 PM CDT Fri Jul 14 2017

   Areas affected...Eastern West Virginia...northern Virginia...much of
   Maryland...Delaware...southern Pennsylvania...and southwestern New
   Jersey

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 141709Z - 141915Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Convective trends are being monitored for a possible
   severe thunderstorm watch that may be needed after 18Z or so.

   DISCUSSION...A couple of thunderstorm clusters (one over central
   Pennsylvania and another newly developing over northern West
   Virginia) were gradually increasing in intensity recently.  This
   increase in coverage/intensity is likely tied to strong surface
   heating amidst a weakly capped airmass, with MUCAPE values
   approaching 3000 J/kg in some areas.  The region resides on the
   southern flank of enhanced mid-level flow (40-45 knots over
   Pennsylvania), which will likely support at least loosely organized
   and forward-propagating convection over the course of the afternoon,
   with a primary risk of damaging wind gusts near the strongest
   activity especially from northern Virginia eastward to the DelMarVa
   Peninsula later in the afternoon.

   Farther north into southern Pennsylvania/New Jersey, a nearly
   stationary frontal zone was located from near Harrisburg, PA
   east-southeastward to near Atlantic City, NJ.  Along this zone,
   backed surface winds and low-to-mid 70s F dewpoints may contribute
   to updraft rotation, especially with any storms that can develop on
   the southern flank of ongoing activity in central Pennsylvania.  The
   orientation of this boundary favors a relatively long residence time
   for updrafts that can root near the surface and move/propagate just
   to the right of the mean flow vector, and an isolated tornado cannot
   be completely ruled out given this regime.

   Convective trends are being monitored, and a severe thunderstorm
   watch may be needed later this afternoon especially if convective
   trends continue as currently observed.

Parents got smashed in South Jersey last night and are about to get hit again today.



Best storm I've ever seen, hands down. And that includes the tornado I saw in 2012 in MD. SPC nailed that supercell down here. Ping pong ball sized hail for a while, and I think I had a small tornado, or at least a circulation pass over me. Winds went nuts and shifted directions a couple times.

Just south of Fredericksburg in Spotsy County....wing gusted to 59 mph, two trees down and power is out. Bright green flash then power was gone. Crazy wind and the lightning is just everywhere and very close. Legit storm!

 

Edit: there was no Severe Tstorm Warning as the line seemed to blossom overhead

I was, lol. Good to see ya.

 

Decent rain from this lil' storm. And what sounded like some weak ducting at the end. B+


Lol you too man, wish we'd get an event like 2012 again so I can invade down there. That's a lot to ask though, lol.

Can't believe I missed the water spout. I was fishing on the bay about 2 miles due east of rock hall. The shower got us for about 15 minutes but I never saw the water spout. We were probably on 3 miles or so north of where it was. I got the tornado warning on my phone and laughed at it. It was a harmless shower with no CG. Not even breezy on the water. Maybe 15 knots tops for a short time.

Ha!  I looked at the charts and it was more like 7 miles away. The cell was a weakling though. Other than the spinney thing it was nothing more than a summer shower with a medium breeze. 

Fishing was great though. We caught our limit of striped bass between 24-30" and caught and released at least 30 more in that size range. Good times.
