  Yeah, this is the problem.    The shear is good, but how many storms will form?   HRRR pops a couple of cells, but it thinks that we're still going to the mid 80s today.

Clearing here.

Maybe it'll be one of those days where a lone supercell does something in a narrow swath - but nada otherwise.

Thunder

Moving this here since the first rumble of spring counts as severe thread worthy (doesn't it?).

Had rain, thunder, and lightning nearby per Radarscope about an hour ago. Cleared and sun out now.

Still a really heavy cloud deck here in DC. My thoughts are pretty similar to that of the latest AFD; we probably aren't gonna get enough surface heating and instability to pop anything cool.
