runupthescore Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Doppler is estimating 3"+ hail with it. Hoping that goes more NE than ENE for my own sake. Lots of (mostly) clear skies between Harrisburg and that complex of storms, too: http://www.accuweather.com/us/radar/rs/pa_/radar.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've noticed an increase in the wind profile on the Sterling, VA radar and it is backing a bit more SSE than SW. This means a moist low level feed could reinforce the inflow and updrafts of the storms, and subsequent large hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
