Commute home looks entertaining 

Yup. My 5pm Gaithersburg to Reisterstown drive should be long.

Now looks like the heavy stuff will pass north of my location.

Maybe I can walk home without getting rained on much.

0.55” so far, rain has mostly stopped for now.

One of the freakier experiences I’ve had so far with thunderstorms. Went for a brief walk once the gust front passed and could feel the new cells building ontop of me. Super gusty winds with low level scud clouds moving every which way.

Wind picked up STRONG over at Coppin. Walking across a parking lot was an adventure.

Raining pretty good in northern Mclean

With the outflow boundary out racing a lot of the convection, this has probably ended any scattered or widespread risk for wind damage. Looks more like generic thunderstorms for the rest of the evening.
