Someone added the hail marker to it See the 429 warning and then the updated 430 one

Storm blew up just west of me... pouring here now

Afternoon AFD from LWX seems to suggest we have 3 days of chances, Sat-Mon is complicates the forecast and lowers uncertainty wrt how much recovery there could be before the aforementioned wave moves through. Overall chances for showers and thunderstorms appear to be higher west of the Blue Ridge. The environment looks seasonably moist with MLCAPE values near ~1500 J/kg and 20-25 kts of shear. Cannot rule out some strong to severe storms. There is varying flow with height, so storms may not initially move a lot resulting in a low end flood/flash flood threat. Will also have to monitor upstream convective activity for potential local impacts as some guidance has an MCS in the Ohio Valley Saturday night or early Sunday morning. This in turn complicates Sunday`s forecast. Come Sunday, a potent trough will move through the Ohio Valley with flow increasing ahead of this feature along with ample moisture return. There is a notable overlap in CAPE and shear Sunday, which could result in severe thunderstorms areawide. Clear skies Sunday morning will result in a volatile environment. Also possible convective debris Sunday morning limits the convective potential locally. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Sunday night, all attention will turn to a very potent shortwave trough over the Great Lakes. A strong MCS associated with this system will make its way eastward across the Ohio Valley into Sunday evening, before approaching the Allegheny Front Sunday night. The biggest uncertainty lies with what it does after that. Decaying MCS`s are one of the most difficult weather phenomena to predict, and this is no exception. Guidance is still all over the place with available instability east of the mountains overnight Sunday into Monday. The most likely scenario is that the MCS decays as it crosses the mountains, and areas see some residual showers and clouds into Monday morning. However, should the higher end of guidance hold true, we could see re-formation east of the Shenandoah Valley somewhere. All in all, this is a very complex forecast, and the Storm Prediction has our area highlighted with a Slight Risk as a result, so it is something that is being closely monitored. Beyond that, the primary upper trough should move through on Monday, bringing another chance for afternoon showers and storms. The level of severity is going to depend greatly on the events that occur Sunday evening, and what amount of cloud debris is left over our area. Best chance would be during the late afternoon/evening hours.

It actually rained there?

True, but still has really nice shear and CAPE values

12z NAM still has some pretty impressive soundings for Sunday into Monday... and has an MCS rolling through Saturday evening

Back offline and then back online... guess they're testing some stuff

Pretty impressive at range and especially overnight too Hr 81 just south of DC is lol

Was this posted earlier? If so, my apologies... but this is pretty neat -- https://fire.airnow.gov/

Can someone explain to me or point me in the direction of where I can read up and learn about what @Kmlwx bolded above in this morning's AFD from LWX? I understand the 0-6km as deep layer shear... so would 0-3km be low level shear?

So far so good on our radar returning shortly NOUS61 KLWX 281817 FTMLWX MESSAGE DATE: JUN 28 2023 18:14:00 THE KLWX WSR-88D REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE AS IT UNDERGOES AN IMPORTANT UPGRADE TO REFURBISH AND REPLACE THE PEDESTAL.

Most likely... I just saw the MRGL risk on day 3 into our region. Would like a decent MCS to come rolling through the region... we haven't had one of those in awhile

Guess we'll be on MCS watch late Friday?

Correct for MD/VA/DC Basically all LWX CWA except for extreme S MD (Calvert and St. Mary's)

ENH risk nudged westward a tad on 1630z OTLK towards i81 corridor

02z HRRR has some explosive development in the i81 corridor at teh end of its run that looks like it matches the 00z NAM Nest a bit
