  1. Two observations: 1.) If there was more DCAPE, the wind reports from Berkley Springs, WV to just north of Annapolis would've been more impressive. Entirely possible that some 70-80 mph gusts would've even been capture on the Maryland mesonet. The Thurmont, Lisbon, and Clarksville sites were hit smack center by that northern cell. 2.) The lightning yesterday was impressive in my neck of the woods. Several positive lightning strikes that were quite brilliant to witness.
  2. This probably will get classified as a derecho. Incredible stuff to witness today. One of the higher end wind events I've seen.
  3. The morning convection removed any chances for severe weather in these parts. As SPC and @Kmlwxsaid, the atmosphere is largely capped and void of any meaningful surface instability.
  4. Obvious derecho ongoing in northern Illinois. Multiple 80mph+ wind gusts.
  5. Historically, we do not have multiple severe weather days in these parts. The radar trends in the Ohio Valley are not encouraging for those east of the Potomac River later today.
  6. The lightning strikes are impressive with this line too. Wonder if it's the boundary from the morning storms?
  7. M49mph Gaithersburg, M41mph Lisbon mesonet, M46 mph Clarksville mesonet
  8. M64mph wind gust Broadway in Rockingham County, VA
  9. Leesburg Airport gusted to 51 mph.
  10. Definitely looks like a cold pool developing behind this line. Woo storms for everyone today?
  11. Decent velocities on that line approaching Garrett County. Might be an overperformer today west of I-95 into the mountains.
  12. The AWOSs for KAPG and KEDG used to be available for public viewing. Not sure what happened.
  13. Just finished mowing the lawn in time.
  14. As @wxmeddler noted the other day, the real tragedy is KMTN rain gauge failing.
  15. Harford County up to Lancaster County getting smoked.
  16. That cell firing up just south of Fallston looks legit from my house. Big tower shooting up quickly.
  17. Unless something changes, it looks pretty bleak south of the PA line.
  18. I'm an Eskimo that lives south of Mason-Dixon. I've accepted my fate.
  19. Speaking strictly from parameters on the SPC mesoanalysis page, I'd favor NE Maryland into the western suburbs of Philly today. Weaker lapse rates may be offset by the hillier terrain there as things coalesce.
