Not to be demeaning to SPC... but I think this is a CYA STW for us...

I lean that way still though this is one of the harder storm forecasts I can remember given overall motions and proximity.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC

613 PM EDT THU JUL 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION FOR THE NEXT COUPLE

OF DAYS. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA TONIGHT AND SLOWLY

MOVE THROUGH BY FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS SATURDAY AND

REMAINS INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...

-- Changed Discussion --

UPDATE - SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 528 NOW IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE CWA THRU 1 AM. ALL OF THE AREA EXCEPT FOR THE LOWER TIER COUNTIES OF THE CWA. TWO LARGE LINES OF SEVERE TSTMS ARE TRACKING FROM THE OHIO VLY TO SRN NEW ENGLAND. THE INITIAL LINE HAS NEARLY CLEARED THE STATE OF PA...AND SLOWLY DRIFTING SOUTH WHILE SPEEDING OFF TO THE EAST. THE OTHER LINE HAS ABOUT CLEARED OHIO AND NOW MOVING INTO WV. THOUGH THE CNTRL APLCNS WILL LIKELY MODIFY THIS LINE AS IT CROSSES THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS...THE LINE IN PA IS EXPECTED TO DROP DOWN TOWARD NRN MD.

DC/BALT METRO AREAS - BE ON ALERT FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS LATER THIS EVE/LATE NIGHT. OUTSIDE OF A FEW ISOLATED STORMS THAT COULD DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF ANY LINE OR OUTWARD-MOVING COLD POOL/GUST FRONT...IT WILL LIKELY BE AT LEAST 2-3 HRS AT THE EARLIEST AND CLOSER TO THE 10-MIDNIGHT PERIOD FOR THE I-95 CORRIDOR. THE HIGH HEATING OF THE DAY AND DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE L70S WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY FOR ANY INCOMING CONVECTIVE LINE TO BE MAINTAINED...EVEN AS SOME OF LOCAL GUIDANCE DISSIPATES THE ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES OVER THE AREA.

I think I'll go down with the ship on this one if I have to. Still playing out about as planned. Knew we'd run into a period where it was dicey.. doubt we get svr in the metro area.

Runs smooth for me. I noticed a lot the local doppler radars were jumping pretty bad.

It's like completely disappearing on my machine.. like it starts then all the echoes go blank and i see a white map

GR feeds are super slow
