Well said. I agree with layering the Maryland counties adjacent to the Potomac River on the watch in case upscale growth occurs, but it's going to be tough. Our only chance seems to be from those storm just NW of Martinsburg getting their act together.

Was just going to post about that too. The other *possibility* is if the bowing line segment approaching Stephens City can surge a bit more east versus south east - it wouldn't take much trajectory change to get at least the southern half of MoCo in on the show.

Still a good bit of MLCIN over the DC/Baltimore area on mesoanalysis. DCAPE is not good NE of the Potomac essentially but ramps up quickly S/SW of there. 

DCAPE over me down at UVA is rather impressive. If the WV line holds together we could get some good wind damage.

One hell of a supercell heading towards Orange.

Ping pong ball sized hail report just NW of Orange.

Looks like I'll be sitting this one out. Southern PG and Alexandria look to have a good shot.

Good storm in Burke again. This one is training over me.

Had two big CTG lightning strikes while hanging on the porch. First was less than 200 yards away. The other was about 1/4 mile away.

With the damage in the southern half of PG, they could use to sit this one out. (I work Utility)

I missed everything to the north until last evening when I started missing everything to the sw. At least I got to see flases of distance lightning last night lol

No wind damage is good!
