MCD up... 60% chance of Watch 

Mesoscale Discussion 1197
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1204 PM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025

   Areas affected...portions of VA/MD

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 081704Z - 081830Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered strong/severe storms are
   possible through the afternoon. Damaging gusts will be the main
   hazard but a tornado and sporadic hail also are possible.

   DISCUSSION...Isolated convection is develop early this afternoon in
   a weakly unstable airmass in the vicinity of an effective warm front
   draped across northern VA toward coastal MD. As additional heating
   occurs over the Blue Ridge, thunderstorm coverage should increase
   and storms will move across the Piedmont and Chesapeake Bay vicinity
   through the afternoon. Overall instability and midlevel lapse rates
   will remain modest. However, effective shear around 30-40 kt will
   support organized cells. Where steeper low-level lapse rates develop
   amid stronger heating, strong/severe gusts will be possible.
   Low-level shear will be somewhat enhanced along the warm front, as
   is evident in the LWX VWP, which shows a mildly enlarged and
   favorably curved low-level hodograph. Rotating storms interacting
   with the warm front could pose a risk for a brief tornado or two.
   The area is being evaluated for possible watch issuance.

Was any rotation, or rising motion visible?

Yes, 100% visible. Especially as it moved off to my North East.

Was hoping the warm front would push a little further north, but seems like it's hit a wall.  Not expecting much up here with the current temps and cloud cover except periods of showers.

Starting to get some sun here in the lowlands. It's definitely feeling warmer in the past 20 minutes. Hopefully there's a few wedges later.

Was out running errands and thought that I’d see if that cell sliding by Tysons would deliver.  Never tightened up.  Pic from Mosaic overlooking the picturesque Merrifield Home Depot.

A new site or something even cooler (micronet?!?!?!)

[southmdwatcher]

The earlier Tornado warned cell just passed by here in Charles County. I see broad rotation.

Some of those showers were downpours. We went downtown to the Arts Festival. Even with umbrellas and rain jackets had to hang in a few of the tents till it let up.

Flash flood warning west of DC. Hopefully that juices up and gives the area a soaker this evening.

That cell in Culpepper looks juicy

Yes. Warm fronts are devious.

I swear I see some rotation on that one using the velocity scan.

It has been cloudy, with periods of rain, all day here. Not surprised to be left out of the watch. Good luck/stay safe everyone else!
