Heavy heavy sun right now. NWS needs to put up a PBW alert. That's Pasty Burn Watch for those of you keeping score at home.

I get to go enjoy it in less than an hour! :sun:

...unlike yesterday where I was driving home and the sun was going down.

1730z SPC OTLK has SLGT risk still DC and south.. 30% and hatched probs between EZF and RIC (closer to RIC)...

FARTHER N INTO VA...A THREAT OF STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW

TORNADOES WILL ALSO EXIST...BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE THREAT HERE

WILL BE CONDITIONAL ON THE DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION.

GFS has ~1" for DC/Balt. NAM is about the same, but much higher totals just to the east with 1.5"+ over the bay and eastern shore. This is of course in the same are that GFS has LESS totals. High res WRFs say 'Man the life boats!" for some areas (lots of banding as usual).

Afternoon AFD from LWX

<snip>

SEVERE WEATHER STILL ANTICIPATED FOR THE CWFA DURING THE

AFTERNOON/EVENING TOMORROW. DO EXPECT A PORTION OF THE CWFA TO BREAK

OUT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND BECOME UNSTABLE AT THE SURFACE. WIND

FIELDS ARE IMPRESSIVE WITH 50-60 KT AT 850 MB. COUPLED UPPER JET

STRUCTURE TOMORROW WITH STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE ALONG/AHEAD OF THE

FRONT. THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO BREAK OUT WILL BE ACROSS THE

SHENANDOAH VALLEY...NORTHERN VIRGINIA FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AND THE

WASHINGTON METRO AREA

WITH THE WIND FIELD STRENGTHENING OVERNIGHT...STRONG WINDS ARE

EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. SE WINDS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50

KT ARE POSSIBLE. WIND ADVISORY REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER TODAY.

STRONG WINDS MAY PERSIST INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND THE WIND

ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED EASTWARD.-- End Changed Discussion --

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/...

-- Changed Discussion --THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA

SATURDAY EVENING. GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD

OF THE FRONT DURING THE EVENING HOURS. A SURGE OF WARM AND MOIST AIR

AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR T-STORMS TO

HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN

AREA INTO THE VIRGINIA PIEDMONT AND LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND. STRONG

WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL CAUSE ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL SPIN FOR

THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES IN SOME OF THE STRONGER

T-STORMS.

Cold. Jeebus. At son's soccer practice, and it was really unpleasantly cold and windy.

It is, indeed, nasty out right now.

As an aside....take a look at some of those cells in Alabama right now. Those people are dodging bullets right now......as are the folks in SC Illinois, western kentucky and western tennessee.
