Tornado threat on tuesday or are we looking at linear/MCS or even just pop ups?

it's kind of nebulous for now. there is a surface low to the north but it's not overly impressive at any level for now.

Power of social media-- CWG's live updates are actually a good compilation showing specific spots of trees down consistent with a severe thunderstorm across a wide area (DC, Laurel, MoCo, North Potomac, etc.)

Although, that video out of Rockville of the 'tornado' is pretty sketchy.

My guess is any local tor were brief and unseen tho I didn't watch radar the whole time when out. Tornado warnings with confirmed tornado are often wrong. Even the mets around here aren't well trained in what things look like.

They will probably confirm a brief EF-0 in one or two places in MoCo and I wasn't closely watching the other possible locations in other conuties.

Tons of false tornado/funnel cloud pics being shared and tweeted.

I was in what appeared to be the center of the signature on radar, even though rotation was weakening at that point. I did NOT see a funnel or tornado, although it was a very ominous scene, not to mention there was flash flooding, strong winds and literally gridlock roads. A lot of cars parked under overpasses and some kook on the radio also recommended that. Luckily he was corrected by the host. I believe this was in Elkridge. I've been driving literally all day, so haven't gotten to look at much in the way of reports. I'm still 3+ hours from home lol.

There were so few reports east of the apps not sure it means anything for that area other than some academic definition. The whole debate was one of the stupidest the weather community has ever had.
