Most of central WV is in the slight. Thanks for the heads up....haven't been paying attention. It feels like a good day for storms. The morning was warm, the air is getting moist, and the sun is out. Feels good out right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I am not sure if I dreamt it but I thought I heard thunder earlier this morning sometime after sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened last week when we hit 80 (a 15-degree jump from 65 that DCA recorded at noon that day). 53 today at noon using the same numbers would put us at 68, so it's still possible.

yoda Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Apparently a conditional risk of hail has been added by SPC for us in their 1630 OTLK if the storms can make it over the mountains this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Line of showers and storms developing along the front as it sags south into N WV and SE OH. They are moving at a good clip west to east along the boundary. Up to 76 here with 56 DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of the PWSs inside the beltway in VA are 68/69 and almost all of them west of the Beltway are 70+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is nice, windows open, nice breeze, though it is mostly cloudy now. Storms firing up nicely over northern WV, but it comes to the old question as usual, will it make it over the mountains Made it to a high of 70 here today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it in your attachment and when I go to their radar page. It used to always run through the frames smooth and quickly, but something changed in the last month. I see it on on both my old desktop and newer laptop at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my default set to 30 frames on the animation. The frames don't progress in a smooth fashion like they used to. It's worthless like this because I can't get a feel for the actual speed that precip is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Fantastic thunderstorm this morning in Germantown, lightning-wise at least, was a nice thing to wake up to, although Zero wind, 30 second downpour. Those suckers were quite close though, made me jump a bit. Meanwhile, still warming up? 73.3 now, highest for the day. A bit of a southerly breeze 10-15mph.
