Eskimo Joe Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Nice little swirl over West Virginia. If we can get enough sunshine today, we might get some decent storms south of I-70. Might be a DC to EZF special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Am more worried about heavy rain / flash flooding the next few days. Storms will be moving but PWAT's near 2" will dump no matter what. One of our stations (Hancock) got 1/2" in 10 minutes at 4AM this morning in a relatively benign shower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Someone (or a few people) in the next few days - will get microbursted I think. But probably not a region-wide event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that SVR potential today is limited by lousy shear, although MCVs can be sneaky Lousy shear will also be an issue Friday, although high instability and organization of storms along the front might counteract that. But Thursday might have the best combination of shear and instability and allow for a more widespread event, although the source of triggering is less obvious than on the other two days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Quite a bit of initiation happening on the higher terrain to the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even though the timing/coverage differ, the fact that EVERY CAM has storms in the DC area later today was such a great sign this morning. An MCV with favorable timing is usually a great combination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that help with severe chances today or just help convection start? Seems we have Cape and not much else to work with today (bad shear, bad ML lapse rates, okay surface lapse rates). Either way how likely do you think it is we get some thunder today? I’m head coach for a swim team from 3:45 to 6:15pm so I gotta monitor the situation.

Eskimo Joe Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Outflow boundary evident on radar near Frederick. Looks like the storms lost the terrain boost that was keeping their updrafts going. Should see some more stuff fire up ahead of the main line here shortly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually just thinking that this is likely more a factor of the new categorical risk areas/percentages than anything. Especially now that they can go even higher on percentages on wind...30% at day 3 is nothing to sneeze at - but I think it will become a lot more common with these new outlooks. Also no CIG hatching at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
