HoCoSnowBo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You think the area between the stormy region north of Baltimore and the storms in NOVA will get any action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You think the area between the stormy region north of Baltimore and the storms in NOVA will get any action? It could, probably among the more unstable areas at this pt. That stuff E of RIC will want to work this way. If we time it right with the low level jet increase maybe we can pull a Hagerstown later.

Jebman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Places getting steady storm training will likely continue thru early Thursday morning. Those places high and dry, like Dale City, will see a mix of sun and clouds, with a passing brief thundershower. I'm used to it. Bring on summer with a MONSTER upper level ridge. I am so damned jealous of those places with plentiful rain. It's too bad I happen to live in a place where we never get well above normal rains.

Brubert Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 that cell ne of ric showing some rotation lately Yeah, I was getting a little nervous!! We had heavy hail, marble size and big winds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 that stuff in se va looks good... race against time getting it here before sunset though i suppose. Very soupy out there. Seems like the trend is to get stuff to form N of DC area or slide south so far. We'll see if we can get out out of the splits here. Sunny here atm.

Ian Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah, I was getting a little nervous!! We had heavy hail, marble size and big winds! it's pretty diffuse at this pt.. but worth watching. the other about to cross the river might have some in the last scan now too. both have decent tops, the northern one is really small.

Ian Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Neat grab from GR Analyst - nice structure it's pretty beefy.. nice overshooting tops for a while. the one north has solid updrafts too it seems but it's tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 it's pretty beefy.. nice overshooting tops for a while. the one north has solid updrafts too it seems but it's tiny. Yeah for sure. I think DC will just keep getting missed for now. Seems that these wall want to slide south and then to the west of the city. I could be wrong though (that happens often).

Kmlwx Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 It looks like for DC to get in on anything exciting something will have to pop on the other side of the Potomac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah for sure. I think DC will just keep getting missed for now. Seems that these wall want to slide south and then to the west of the city. I could be wrong though (that happens often). I think we'll at least get some sprinkles. Could be more, close tho for now. We have been in the sun all afternoon and it's slowly rotating this direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just got a text from relic hunter that he has dime size hail and its been doing that for 5 min. Edit to add: he's down around Stafford and was under the H8 storm on wunderground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been in the sun all afternoon and it's slowly rotating this direction. Though all of them seem to be heading towards us and then gradually curve with the winds aloft from the upper low. Sprinkles is a ballsy call - It poured today while I was at work so I guess that might have been my excitement of the day. Getting wet while running to the car to get lunch.

I think the lobe near RIC will try to swipe us but it's still heavy on the west side so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area I'm watching for additional development is just east of the east most cell in that cluster towards maybe Leonardtown, MD. I'd say if something pops in there we stand a much better chance given the movement. But corn fumes will likely win out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Light rain, some garden variety thunder/lightning. Storm is weakening some as it approaches. Maybe we'll get a gv thundershower here with luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
