That cell SW of Culpepper is going up quick. it's got some hail potential according to RadarScope, and it isn't moving very fast either so training and potential flood issues are there if the cell maintains itself.

Eskimo Joe Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Based off mesonet and ASOS data, there appears to be a surface boundary running right along I-97 in Anne Arundel County. Might see something fire up or get enhanced by that later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Naval academy (NAK) getting the worst of both worlds right now. A faint bay breeze that's enough to push in more humid air, but too weak to cool things off. They're 95/76 right now for a heat index of 108°.

Eskimo Joe Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Fort Belvoir (DAA) and Lake Anna/Bumpass (7W4), and Fredericksburg (EZF) all hit 100°. We definitely seem to be running just a degree or two warmer today in the air temperature department. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Impressive 18z sounding from IAD: Surface CAPE of ~3,100 DCAPE of ~1,400 Lapse rage of -8.4°c/km Classic robust wet microburst sounding. One red flag for more widespread convection is the convective temp of 100° and a 700mb temp of almost 11°, which is still pretty capped. If we get shielded over with cirrus, then we might lose the oompf needed to get the more robust cluster and line segments going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Was mentioning this earlier. You can see that on the Naval Academy, BWI, Ft. Meade and PG mesonet sites. Looks like it's running right along I-97.

Hot enough in Pen Mar for panting chickens, ugh! Low 80, currently 94/76 We were just in Leitersburg where we spent $25 for tickets and $45 in food and the beer wall to find out what the big disclosure from Disclosure day was. They have a little weather station at the theatre and it is a sweet 103. Car therm confirmed. The chickens are staying confined to under bushes and trees right now. I am glad this nonsense is coming to an end soon. Need rain badly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
