MN Transplant Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 1 hour ago, Eskimo Joe said: 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.

mappy Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 1 hour ago, Eskimo Joe said: @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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 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. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 SPC removed us entirely from any threat today. I can’t argue with that, given that no guidance brings storms anywhere close to our area. That said, guidance has no real handle at all on that MCS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that HiResW ARW run yesterday that brought storms into northeast MD this afternoon nailed it. They’re not severe, but I’m still curious to see how far to the southwest they can persist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 80 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.1 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jun 18 2025 Start Time: 2:15 PM EDT Start Location: Odenton / Anne Arundel County / MD Start Lat/Lon: 39.059 / -76.701 End Date: Jun 18 2025 End Time: 2:16 PM EDT End Location: Odenton / Anne Arundel County / MD End Lat/Lon: 39.057 / -76.700 Survey Summary: During the early afternoon of Wednesday June 18th, a cluster of severe thunderstorms crossed central Maryland between Washington and Baltimore. One storm briefly produced a tornado in northwestern Anne Arundel County Maryland, in southern Odenton. At 2:15 PM EST, a tornado touched down in the community of Chapel Village, just south of the southern end of Chapel Hill Blvd. There, along the north edge of a water retention pond, it uprooted two trees. It continued southeast and crossed the 800 block of Sunny Chapel Road. Here is where the damage was most intense. Three homes had siding and shingle damage. Behind one of the homes, numerous trees were uprooted and large sections of trees snapped. At least two trees fell onto homes, and one crushed an outdoor deck. Damage on the north side of the path was blown to the south, and damage on the south side of the path was blown to the north-northeast. The tornado proceeded southeast, and crossed the southern cul-de-sac of Golden Chapel Road. There it damaged shingles and siding on three additional homes, blew out the attic window on two homes, and uprooted three more trees and snapped large branches. At this point, after just a minute on the ground and a tenth of a mile path, the tornado lifted at 2:16 PM EDT. A funnel cloud video was shared on social media from Odenton. The ground survey continued to the southeast, but only isolated tree damage was seen sporadically, likely due to the severe thunderstorm wind gusts at times from the parent thunderstorm. The National Weather Service extends its appreciation to the Anne Arundel County Office of Emergency Management and our SKYWARN weather spotters who passed us damage information to supplement our ground survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.........65 to 85 mph EF1.........86 to 110 mph EF2.........111 to 135 mph EF3.........136 to 165 mph EF4.........166 to 200 mph EF5.........>200 mph 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Funny how sometimes we don't get a watch until there's a consolidating/existing line of storms well into the area.

midatlanticweather Posted Thursday at 11:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:17 PM The outflow boundary from storms earlier to the west of Loudoun pretty much seems to have sucked the life out of anything new forming. Guess more activity could spring up. Maryland looks a bit busy and other parts of the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago There is modest consensus (it's far from unanimous) for a somewhat-organized line of storms to drop southeast out of southern PA towards sunset and into northern MD. A few solutions suggest that it could extend into more of central MD. Shear is crap, but low-level lapse rates are good, opening the door to a few wind reports, consistent with the SPC MRGL. Beyond that, my eyes are on Tuesday. A strong front arrives at peak heating, with improving wind fields and some upper level support.. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have noted that the ARW2 showed storms firing across northern VA this afternoon and spreading east. It was an outlier, but it may be on the right track. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to now be looking good for north-central MD. The HRRR, though, wants to weaken the storms with the loss of heating, so we’ll see how much can be maintained over the next couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts about Monday afternoon, regarding storms pushing East and through I-95 ? Accu-weather is talking about Monday as robust storm chances, geater than 50 % then and then the the focus shifts to Tuesday for the severe parameters and likely higher end potential.
