New event. High Wind Warning from 4/30/2021 12:00 PM to 5/1/2021 2:00 AM EDT for Montgomery County, MD, Carroll County, MD: https://inws.ncep.noaa.gov/a/a.php?i=56744111
Growing up in Philly, it was Floyd in 1999. Hands down. I went to school in the Manayunk section of Philly (hills galore) and we got off for rain. Never saw it rain that hard for that long of a time.
I'm somewhat optimistic that we're done with Freezes east of I-81 for the spring. Not sure if some valley near Cumberland still has a surprise frost up it's sleeve, but the long range guidance looks favorable for planting out even the frost sensitive plants.
Looks like there was a decent microburst in St. Mary's County today...a linear series of wind reports that would make me believe it's straight line winds.
Our area can do surprisingly well in setups like this. If we can manage some decent sun in the morning and get our CAPE over ~500 that can sometimes be just enough with a dynamic front.
Time sensitive, and I can't post a loop because of my el crapo network bandwidth, but you can see the low level flow from the NE at the surface trying to bleed across the Potomac. Pretty interesting.
