What is that a map of?

Tornado warning density over the last decade. There have actually been zero in that white spot. TerpWeather did this earlier in the year for CWG too, figured it was a good map to test to see if I was doing it right heh: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/04/21/highlighting-possible-d-c-region-tornado-hotspots-using-warnings-and-tracks/

Haha, that's fantastic. We're due!

Mostly east of the bay, DC appears to unfortunately miss out on the southeasterly shear. I guess this is not really instability driven.

 

 

Some RAP runs I looked at earlier had a similar look at range. Almost seemed like the low terrain and the Bay helped to enhance east of the area. Some of the good values still got to like the extreme western shore of the bay on those runs, though. I'll be surprised if anything happens in our immediate area.

Looking at the HRRR, after the current batch of showers and maybe another one around 7-8PM, it has a more interesting band of organized showers (thunder??) arrving around midnight.   There is a signal of strong (although sub-severe) winds with it, although it's admittedly weakening as it moves through the DC Metro area.
