Curtains of rain in Bethesda, visibility down to <0.5 mi.

Howard County is getting pounded according to radar. I'm seeing sime 60kt+ readings.

Broad but evident rotation just W of Columbia

 

[Kmlwx]

Howard County cell might have 80mph winds with it based on velocity. Looks like easily 65mph+ based on velocity.

highly successful summer-like storm.  torrents and some bangers.  not a lot of wind here, but these generally overperformed.

[NorthArlington101]

Parts of Arlington look to get slammed by wind. Line bulging out.

 I called my mom to give her the heads up of what was coming (she is in Pasadena), she didn't have TV on or anything but knew if i was calling she needed to get right 

[Kmlwx]

Well..if that was a TOR on the ground it went right over my apartment

[WxUSAF]

Very dark and high wind

[WxUSAF]

Bit worried about schools dismissing in this

[mappy]

colleges need to stop tweeting weather advisories, wtf is this?

is UMBC even under a warning right now? 

[NorthArlington101]

Power flickering in Arlington.

 

Elementary schools get out in 5 minutes. Gonna be interesting.

 

[Chase]

Power flickered here in Fairfax during the initial onslaught.  
Nice wind, no hail here in Fair Oaks.

[NorthArlington101]

Very lucky those winds are headed south of me. Just keeps looking worse for Baileys Crossroads, central Arlington

UMD did something similar a few years back. Turns out they didn't use NWS warnings but used the Accuweather service instead.

This is reminiscent of the "classic" solid lines of storms that some of us have discussed as being less common than in the 90s and earlier 2000s. 

[smokeybandit]

Lots of wind as this line rolls through
