I'm right by the bay... so not done yet ....but soon.

 

BTW... it is still rippin here.

 I'm right by the bay also on the eastern shore, and it's just starting to really get going here. Flash Flood Warning issued for areas of northeastern MD as well

You may sink into the bay before this is all said and done. 

This is certainly not out of the question. The duration of this event is much longer that what we normally experience.

 

The non stop light show is now measured by hours. I would expect it to continue for at least a another half hour due to my proximity to the bay.

 

It is not uncommon to watch these storms blossom over the bay as they approach the eastern shore. At least that is my experience.

It is amazing how well I can see storms as they approach the eastern shore from here (I am on the western shore).

 

The eastern shore is going to get rocked as well.

 

Edit: I am done here....but will probably see strobes and thunder for another half an hour. Enjoy the storms eastern shore. Also, glad I didn't water the lawn today. Thanks, mother nature!!!!

Best lightning show I have seen since the Derecho of 2012, may have even topped it...my eyes are still seeing flashes

 

 

Definitely beat the derecho for me. I am still see flashes as well... not sure if they are real or not.... LOL!

 

I am pretty sure they are real.... maybe?

 

Edit: My magical blankets survived the storms.... yaaay!!!

LWX morning disco

 

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FIRST FEW HOURS OF THIS SHIFT WERE QUITE ACTIVE...WITH LOTS OF
CAPE CONTRIBUTING TO SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL MARYLAND AND INTO THE GREATER WASHINGTON METRO AREA.
THESE HAVE SINCE MOVED EAST OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...WHILE THE LINE
OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH HAD BEEN ACROSS SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA
EARLIER IN THE NIGHT HAS GENERALLY DISSIPATED. THIS LEAVES LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF LINGERING CONVECTION AT 07Z...SAVE FOR ISOLATED
CELLS APPROACHING THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS FROM THE WEST.

BUT THIS WILL ONLY BE A BREAK FROM WHAT COULD BE AN ACTIVE SEVERE
DAY. THERE/S STILL LOTS OF MOISTURE OUT THERE...AND IT/S HARD TO
RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE REST OF
THE NIGHT PARTICULARLY FROM THE POTOMAC HIGHLANDS INTO WESTERN
MARYLAND. WE ARE ALSO WATCHING A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER
CENTRAL OHIO. BY THE TIME IT MAKES IT INTO THE CWA LATER THIS
MORNING IT MAY WEAKEN BUT ITS BOUNDARY MAY COMBINE WITH OTHER
FORCES TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON.

ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE...THERE IS STILL A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS
PENNSYLVANIA THAT WILL SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON.
GFS AND NAM ALSO SHOW A POTENT VORT MAX/SHORTWAVE /SUPPORTING THE
OHIO CONVECTION NOW/ TREKKING INTO THE CWA BY 18Z. MODELS ARE
FORECASTING LESS CAPE THAN WEDNESDAY...BUT ALSO SUGGEST MORE
SHEAR WHICH MAY COMPENSATE FOR LESS BUOYANCY. STILL...1000-1500
J/KG IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH AND THERE MAY BE HIGHER POCKETS
THEREFORE EXPECT SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS.

Hmmm... LWX thinks along a line from DC to Petersburg WV and south has best threat for storms in their updated morning AFD.

 

Is there a slight chance of a TOR threat this afternoon?  I keep seeing words like "primary threat" and "main threat" being damaging winds and large hail in the AFD and HWO from LWX

They always say primary threat will be damaging winds - seems pretty normal.

I figured that... just seems a bit weird to me saying primary threat, because to me it means there is a secondary threat

I've found discussions with more than 15 "the" uses tend to indicate higher end threats. We should give this one a count.
