Bro In law caught this beast of a bolt in Fenwick yesterday.  Too bad the neighbor's roof blocks part of the view but a pretty wild shot nonetheless.

Lots of thunder, lightning and heavy rain.  No wind hardly at all.  Perfect rainbow storm with the sun breaking out as the clouds cleared to the west. Saw the rainbow and told my 12 yo daughter to tak

I was stuck in a meeting and couldn't get outside, but that Loudoun cell was looking pretty beastly from inside on approach. Thankful that the worst stayed just north of me

From the latest LWX forecast: 

Timing on supercells or a line of
intense thunderstorms reaching the metro areas would be 4pm to
8pm. Much of this activity will reach southern Maryland closer
to 8pm to 10pm. Nonetheless, it looks like a busy and stormy
day.

The afternoon AFD is pretty bullish (boldface is mine):

  

A line of severe thunderstorms, producing frequent lightning,
very heavy rain, and damaging winds, are aligned from south-
central Pennsylvania, across western Maryland, and into northern
West Virginia. Large hail and tornadoes are also possible during
the afternoon into this evening across much of our CWA.
Additional severe thunderstorms are imminent given the amount of
sunshine from this morning, large instability as some 0-3 km
shear. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 10pm for
our entire CWA. Also, a Flood Watch is in effect until midnight
tonight for much of the metro areas of Baltimore and Washington
DC and into southern MD and eastern VA. The metro areas could be
greatly impacted between 4pm and 8pm with these severe
thunderstorms.

Don't often see that kind of strong language from them.

Am hoping that area between the WV complex and the Hagerstown area complex can fill in with new development. I have a bunch that the WV complex may have a tendency to bend a little more south than east and may miss me (still looks good for DC, though. Some modeling certainly has screwed parts of the area - and it's to be expected with mesoscale weather events. 

I'm still optimistic....but we'll see. Certainly looks like a more widespread event than our spotty events.

Various CAPE parameters have been slowly improving over the metros. Decent amount of CAPE available - DCAPE looking better on mesoanalysis than earlier. Hail parameters have been on the rise as well. 

I know this is anecdotal at best...but that WV complex is in a position that has traditionally been pretty fierce for the immediate metro area (or at least parts of). There was a storm in July 2013 I think that tracked through there, then to Winchester, and then had some nasty winds that cut right through MoCo etc. 

 

EDIT: It was July 25, 2010. Wind core was near/just north of Winchester that day and did some severe damage in the metro area.

wind damage across northern Hardy County and southern Hampshire
County. SEEK SHELTER NOW inside a sturdy structure and stay away
from windows.

Continuous cloud to ground lightning is occurring with these storms.
Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature`s leading

be struck by lightning.

For MBY - That WV stuff will be a close shave. Right now I *really* like the trajectory...but am most concerned about it slipping south and it being more of a Fairfax or DC proper into PG event. If more can develop - or perhaps if that storm can expand a bit more as it comes off the terrain things will be less precarious.

My eyes have been on that gap since the storms formed lol. I'm cautiously optimistic. Less so for Columbia :( - Have to imagine *something* whether it be sub-severe or severe will form as the stuff comes off the higher terrain. But screw zones always setup.
