FWIW, it appears that Raven Rock aka Site R now has an ASOS. Station ID: KXIF

ASCAT data, though showing a sharp cutoff and increasing organization, doesn't show much in the way TS-force wind barbs over a significant area. There isn't much of a threat of storm force impacts at moment of genesis unless the winds increase here. They are likely just being patient as they have more liberty/luxury to do so versus say a situation like Elsa earlier this season that immediately had TS force upon genesis. That being said, we may still yet see PTC advisories go up by 5 AST. Good copy, thanks.

Western Maryland (Garrett, Allegheny, Washington counties) don't fare as well as other places with your classic Miller A nor'easter. IMO, if you are looking for a good spot to get a nor'easter, check out the Catoctin Mts. in Frederick County. Some places to look to are: Braddock Heights, Myersville, Wolksville, Sabillasville, Catoctin Furnace. You can easily get a cheap piece of property above 1,000 to 1,200 feet and there's a lot to do nearby outside of snow season.

Perhaps a met could answer this question, but why hasn't this been designated as a Potential Tropical Cyclone yet? I've seen worse things than this get that designation.

600dm or bust

Parts of the area are drier than Death Valley. We may never recover from this:

From the Volvo dealership in Bensalem, PA today:

I'm by the WMPT TV tower.

Looks like a large tornado confirmed just north of Philly. Tornado watch was certainly warranted.

Nice, that's across from Camp Fretterd? Like 2 miles from my house.

NBC4 has tress down across I-95 in EZF. Traffic stopped.

M1.75" hail EZF per LWX LSR

BWI M62 mph wind.

NBC4 had a DOT cam from I-95 near EZF that showed hail on I-95 and traffic stopped.

Looks like the Stafford cell cut the inflow off and decapitated things up here.

Hail spike on the Stafford storm and a solid elevated core. Could see some respectable hail reports from that.

Heads up stafford, VA. Solid looking couplet trying to develop.

Heads up BWI airport wow.

For our WV folks:

LWX will be launching a special 18z sounding.

If we could get this junk over western MD and the WV panhandle to die off, we might do okay.

Yea but it matters more than most today. We actually have dome decent shear and kicker.

Really would like to see this cloud deck over PA start breaking up. Each frame it looks more and more like early spring wedge season.

DC pulled from ENH. Well, looks like we're going to be socked in with clouds after all despite my earlier optimism. Better luck next time I guess.
