Wyoming has it.

6 hour forecast from the 3km NAM below (College of Dupage) and the actual sounding above.  A bit more pronounced warm nose from 650-700mb.  Biggest difference to me is that the observational sounding is a good deal drier above the surface.  NAM has the Td at 850 at ~16C, and the actual is 12-13C.

not gonna lie - that sounding showing less instability than progged (along with the HRRR runs) is giving me concern.     but I'm absolutely not ready to call "bust"

I just hope we don't end up going 0 for 3. Be nice to track a nice storm rolling through the area even if not my own BY.

It's much easier to maintain low expectations about severe around here. I try to steer clear of the place around winter because it's harder not to get your hopes up (plus it's not as fun without DT's rants).

Our climo is turning into an Inland Gulf Coast type. Maybe Arkansas or Eastern Oklahoma where the main show shifts towards the warm season.

The small line forming over me is putting down a decent downpour.  Just some low rumbling thunder, but should only get better for areas northeast of me.

lol had no idea what you ere talking about, then looked in MD. 

I'm enjoying the sun while between both the cells

LWX AFD about evening and tonight 

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A stationary boundary stretches across northern PA this
afternoon with numerous showers and thunderstorms across the
state. To our west, showers and thunderstorms moving across WV,
with some of this activity starting to make its way across the
Alleghenies. The 18z IAD upper air balloon continues to sample a
decent inversion ~700mb, with low level flow turning a bit more
southwesterly compared to the 12z sounding. That being said,
there is quite a bit of dry air residing around 925mb and
around/above 700mb. The westerly component aloft and the dry air
has acted to inhibit coverage of showers and thunderstorms to
this point, but we are starting to see development across the
CWA as shortwave energy nears overhead.

Plenty of moisture resides at the surface with dewpoints in the
mid to upper 60s and PWATs nearing 1.50" per the 18z sounding.
There is ample SBCAPE in the 2-3k J/kg range and 0-6km shear
35-40kts. The potential for the strongest storms still resides
north of the I-66/US-50 corridor, which is where the Enhanced
Risk is placed by the Storm Prediction Center. The primary
threats continue to be damaging winds and large hail, while an
isolated tornado will remain possible. Coverage will wane this
evening with the loss of daytime heating, flow aloft becomes
more westerly, and the shortwave axis tracks to our east. Dry
and mild overnight with temperatures well above normal for late
May, holding in the upper 60s to low 70s.

It cooled down temperatures too.  May only be a brief respite but better than nothing.  Hopefully it holds together to give your yard a nice drenching.

It will probably do it, when I am not home. Heading out with some coworkers for dinner/drinks

edit to add: @nw baltimore wx if you're in the area, I'll be down at The Stil off York

DC Split approaching. Just kidding. :D  But those showers headed for Culpeper look ominous. Meanwhile, winner NYC? 

I find it odd that even ordinary rain showers are disappearing as they near the DC area. What could be keeping the showers from growing into storms? 

All the negativity boundaries left over from this past winter. :lol:
