Raining - but really did fizzle a good bit before reaching me. Good to get some liquid though

Honestly surprised MoCo isn't warned with how LWX usually warns (no offense!). Decent gusts (but subsevere) on the LWX radar.

The further north that gets will probably get it into better shear as well. Some good wind velocity showing up on the LWX scans entering MoCo as well.

Worth watching that Fairfax storm - velocity scans show it could evolve into something (albeit weak probably) if it keeps up with that look (TDCA scans)

Some of these cells have echo tops at or above 55kft!

Well for obs. I guess my point is - maybe they just didn't know that your username was also your location or a location at all. Just devil's advocate - don't mind me

To be fair - some people probably haven't heard of Aldie or are aware that it it's a town.

That Warrenton cell has a TON of lightning showing up on it.

4x F-35 and 4x F-22 are scheduled to flyover the National Mall in DC at 7:45 tonight. Would be great to see it - wondering if they cancel this for storms.
-
Echo tops are very respectable on that cell N of Culpeper. I think radar actually looks somewhat decent. Nothing super intense but at least it seems stuff is forming in a roughly linear shape - not just isolated pop ups.

We'll likely need storms to consolidate to either start firing stuff on outflow boundaries or perhaps if some semblance of a cold pool can start to assist.
-
Was just outside (can confirm it is disgusting) - and a few sacred drops of some sort of liquid hit me. Can't be rain - it doesn't do that here anymore.
-
Knowing our luck - the various popcorn stuff developing will lower instability and ruin any more consolidated threat later But I'll take the rain at this point if it moistens up the ground and also cools the house down.

Popcorn shower near Clarksburg

Of note - CSU MLP page has severe potential for Sun through Wed next week. Doesn't mean it'll verify - but maybe we get some change in luck for precipitation at least.

Here's the forecast data for today from PJM directly Forecast peak #electricity usage for July 10 in #PJM region: 137,923 MW at 4 p.m. (Eastern); total scheduled capacity 164,063 MW (data as of 6 a.m.)
-
PJM has heat alert days in effect but the scheduled capacity is totally enough to cover demand at least for now. Certainly could be sporadic issues - but peak capacity doesn't appear to be anywhere close to being an issue compared to demand.
-
They don't seem to be maintaining at least thus far (the mountain showers)

Activity breaking out near Winchester. A bit on the early side - but I'd say that could be a good sign.

Heat index still over 100 IMBY
-
I finally ordered a window AC for my bedroom. While the main central AC is fixed - it really only does well int he basement and 1st floor. My bedroom has been getting into the mid 80s. I took out my old unit a year or two ago to prevent the annual onslaught of bees, bugs and wasps...but I"m surrendering to them. I'll try to seal it better and maybe spray some Suspend Polyzone around the window and unit. It's an LG 8000BTU Dual Inverter. High of 97.2 here today dew point is still in the high 70s.
-
Boundary collisions might help to get things going a bit more than would otherwise be expected. Lots of outflow boundaries on radar already.
-
Agreed. Mine is 109 right now. 92.8 with a dewpoint of 78.4. Absurd and disgusting. Heat headlines can be finnicky I feel like.
