Did not hear thunder but have a few confirmed strikes from detection network to our S and SW.  Nice heavy line moved through.  Overwhelmed the gutters big time!  Quite gusty too, sadly better than a lot of so called severe events we get in late spring. ;)

Just noticed 973mb / 28.73" on the barometer!  That's really low here.  The record (for us) was 966mb / 28.53" set way back in 1993.  Yes that one!  Too bad this wasn't snow, I know 10 years ago we dug out from round one with round two coming.  Probably have to live 500 years to see another round like that.

Tony Pann threw up a tweet last night from the 3k showing a 966 meso low sitting over our region this morning and speculated it could lead to some possible snow. I dismissed it as a model error, but it does seem a strong little low ran right through the region.

Looks like the severe stuff may have been somewhat elevation fueled. Despite what appeared to be a strengthening line heading into the Baltimore area. Just some really heavy rain and a little wind gust here. Lower elevations didn’t seem to get the punch that a little higher up did

Do you know where in Leesburg. Work downtown Leesburg.

If you have not heard.. Looks like this was by the Restore store in Loudoun. Near the Greenway Farm neighborhood was also mentioned.
