Someone is going to have water issues as slow as that line is moving.

Let me tell you in 15 different posts how and why this will fail.

Should we make a thread about the 4 -6 inches the GFS is laying down?  Because, you know...that's going to happen.

Just as I thought. Rockville is getting drenched. Off and on showers in Germantown

definitely suspect - but very little wind at the surface (that is passing right over me).

Decent wall of rain and a bit of a wind gust just now in Colesville, MD as it hit.

That’s just your opinion. Everyone can have one. I don’t think it was that hard to see this evolution even if you waited until the 6am alarm and did our classic now casting obs. This wasn’t going to be a high end severe day…

It's funny as you're saying that there's pictures of tornadoes being put on here lol. Receipts

[laissezpasser]

Brief light rain for 5 minutes and now sunshine through a light cloud layer in Georgetown, DC

[southmdwatcher]

The storm coming into Charles County looks to be intensifying, and has some rotation.

Line is trying to form a bit of a hook in southern hoco along 29.

[Kmlwx]

The latest HRRR (still rolling out now) still has a substantial forced line for later on - with a weird bend/kink in the line modeled right near the DC metro area. Wind gust product looks decent as well. Regardless of how stable we are - that line later will probably still pack a "punch" even if it's the sudden 50mph sub-severe variety.

On the bus home from the office, and it’s absolutely pouring on 395 in Arlington.
