18z RAOB from IAD told the tale, plenty of surface CAPE and low level lapse rates, but absolutely pitiful mid level lapse rates and no shear. Had we better timing, this would've been a legit event for everyone.

You could see that it gusted out in MD while it didn’t in VA.  We had no outflow boundary.

@wxmeddlerand I were wondering the same thing. Definitely pockets of high winds, almost very pulse based storms, but others saw very little. 

It’s possible the higher wind gusts missed the Mesonet but hit my house. I’m a little northeast of the meso station location. Either way, power came on around 730. But did go out for dinner and a lot of tree damage in my little area of Parkton.  

[WxUSAF]

About 0.35” per local PWSs. Slightly above normal month to date at this point. But if it doesn’t rain again until next weekend-ish, probably will still dry up quick with that heat.

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Significant tree damage around takoma park. 

[MillvilleWx]

Tons of small branches down across Eastern AA county as I assessed on my way into work. Crofton area had a bunch down as well along Rt3. Nothing too major seen on my assessment, but certainly took out some smaller dead branches in its path. 

[high risk]

I was not expecting to be in a MRGL tomorrow, and most CAMs show no threat to our area at all, *but* there is a scenario in which the MCS that move into upstate NY (and possibly northern New England) late tonight leaves an outflow boundary over northeast PA or central NY, and a new convective complex initiates there and races south-southwest.    The idea is best represented by today's 12Z HiResW ARW and to a lesser extent by the HiResW ARW2.    It's certainly not likely at this point, and even if it happened, it might die as it arrives, but there is certainly at least some small potential for a surprise event, especially for northeast MD.

It came across my hiking spot in Crownsville. It was above the surface and not as strong. It still ripped the tops out of some big trees along it's path. Thar was a good storm here in the lowlands.
