    Ping pong ball sized hail report just NW of Orange.

    Always great to give the cactuses some water.

    Some cool weather new for Maryland/DC folks. Montgomery County is developing an extension to the statewide mesonet with a focus on suburban and urban tripod stations. This will be known as the Montgomery County Micronet, with at least four (4) additional stations coming online this autumn. The first site just went online this past week. @wxmeddler and I rushed this site to completion as the MCS dove south from PA and we got it online maybe 10 min before the storms came in. When all is said and done, we'll have stations about ever five to seven miles in Montgomery County.

    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.

    That Garrett cell has legs. Solid up tick in CG and it's got that look like it's a little vort or something pushing it along.

    Long loss of power means refrigerators and food may not be kept cold. Not every school has UPS/back up generators. It's cautionary to mitigate food borne illness.

    Ferry Cove mesonet site gusted to 53 mph early this morning. Impressive.
  8. Eskimo Joe
    That appears to be so. We really wasted a good setup again.

    M49 mph wind gust Upper Marlboro mesonet site. I'm surprised it wasn't higher given the wide open nature of that location and the site's position relative to that wind core on radar. The nocturnal boundary layer has to be working overtime to mitigate gusts getting to the surface. If this were even late evening there'd be more substantial damage reports coming in.

    Those velocities are making a beeline to the Upper Marlboro mesonet site. That's a wide open spot so that station will get a great sample of whatever comes through.

    DCA M64 mph now.
  12. Eskimo Joe
    DCA just gusted to M59 mph. M62 mph wind gust per LWX LSR

    I saw that with all the respect in the world! I'm so used to us finding a way to fail at just about any sensible weather that I doubt anything is legit until it's on our doorstep.

    Watch coming out for NW of I-95 until 2am.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    MCS running into a stationary front at night with a decent amount of elevated CAPE. Laughs nervously. . . .
  16. Eskimo Joe
    I could be wrong, but I don't think these storms survive into Maryland with enough strength to warrant a watch. If they were even an hour or two earlier then yes.

    The VIL/VILD and KDP on that stuff in Pittsburgh is nuts.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    Hell of a cell merger about to go right over City of Pittsburgh.
  19. Eskimo Joe
    Check out the left moving supercell into that line in Pittsburgh. Man SW PA is just a thunderstorm machine this summer.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    Looks like the Potomac River into NOVA is favored. Maryland side is just too worked over.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Cloud top to 55,000 ft on that cell just NW of Pittsburgh
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Time to chase the Allegheny Front
  23. Eskimo Joe
    It's likely the hail core interfering with the radar beam. Note how the broad rotation is behind the best VIL.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    These repeated dying MCS's running into MD make me far more pessimistic that we get anything of substance below Mason-Dixon today. We're just working the atmosphere over too much.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    The atmosphere is so worked over and there's a metric ton of debris clouds. Classic fail modes in these parts.
