It looks like, unless we can get some stronger development on the northern end, the main core of the derecho will barely miss DC:

I may be too far south for much unless the southern edge decides to become more robust. I'd like to be a few counties north of Roanoke right now. :popcorn:

It's gonna be close imb. There has been a tendancy for little cells to keep popping just in front of the northern bow. And there has been what looks like alot of hail in that section as well. Should be plenty strong to make it over the apps. I will remain optimistic until I must become pessimistic. The cells popping just north of wheeling on the last couple frames keep me optimistic.

I'm going to be livid when the best derecho in ages missing DC by 30 miles to the south.

i think we'll get in on it in some fashion tho it could be close. that northern part is moving more east than southeast.

plus it might just be the pregame.

12z gfs still likes the monday threat tho it is still focused to the east and south of dc/balt. the long range pattern is good too--probably not real but eh. nice fast flow--derecho time! ;)

8 day lead! >;)

I don't think it's going to miss. There are some small cells popping sw of latrobe, pa right now. Atmosphere is ripe in our parts. I'm thinking the northern edge stays strong and we'll have some fun tonight.
