Sfc-6km mean wind was ~10kts which is borderline flash flooding territory, but the CAM's all had good agreement on this being a cold-pool driven event. Seems like the bay breeze caused trouble though in Lancaster county.

The cell in northern Loudoun / S Frederick Co's is first cell today that I've seen push 50dbz above the -20c level, so that's something.
-
Agreed. The hygrometer is usually the first instrument to go wacky. They likely haven't calibrated / replaced it in awhile.
-
That seems way too high. What does it say the is the T/Td is?

The bay waters are are pushing 85+, the high dew points have not allowed ET off the surface to cool it. People are going to be talking about marine heat wave soon if this keeps up another few weeks.
-
Based on the MD just issued, I'm assuming a severe T-storm watch is coming soon. T-Storm warnings now for Culpeper / Fauquier

This morning's 12z balloon had 2.07" PWAT which is right about climatological max for this time of year. We got the smashed spider hodograph though, so expecting some wet down-bursts later.

We're not popping off as fast as we were yesterday. We had lightning strikes in the region by Noon.
-
Baltimore is understandable. I'm not sure what's going on with Pax River. We don't have any stations down there yet to verify. Could be micro-climate or sensor related.
-
I noticed the same, it's definitely helping keep actual temps down. However it also makes the ET is sky high so the dew's are not mixing out as fast they normally would. Keeping the Heat indices high.
-
Some of the NJ Pine Barrens fire came back around this direction. There was a fairly strong inversion last night where ozone got trapped as well.
-
The solar radiation component has been missing from the ET formula lately. Which is good, because the wind and dew point depression hasn't been doing us much good lately.
-
Fri,Sat,Sun nights look about equally trash. Friday night maybe has slightly less mid-level cloudiness? My suggestion would be to look at infrared satellite as the sun goes down each night and try to time a break in it. Wish I had better news.
-
Hate to say it but with the trough sitting out west and ridge pumping moisture into it, that's a classic combination of persistent high clouds in this area.
-
I love wind, these are my favorite kind of days. Everyday should be 50-70 deg, partly cloudy and winds 10-20.
-
There is levels of wind. 15-20 is annoying. 35-40 is "Woah" "40-50" is "Oh Crap". 55+ is "dammit" 70+ is "$%^, !@^*,@^&*#"
-
These showers should do good work. Ride the wind baby.

Whichever model has the precip hole over my house is correct.

Wow that Bay Breeze boundary is sharp.

I predict thunder and a smattering of downed bradford pears that will verify base level svr. t-storm warnings.

Pyranometer cable was/went bad. We're thinking that when it rained last night water got into the cable somehow and was either shorting it or causing a ton of noise on the rail. Our tech went up and replaced the cable and everything came back as normal.

You absolutely nerd sniped me. Here's how many hours a wind gust has been recorded at a Maryland Mesonet station over a certain value so far this month. Most of the state has had gusts>= 30 mph at least 5-10% of the time this month.
-
Finally. A good hard rain.
-
The 3km NAM seems to promote the idea of the convergence boundary storms producing strong cold pools which moves the convergence boundary eastward. Which, is definitely a possibility. Edit: Strong cold pools would limit the tornado threat save minor QLCS kinks on the front end.
