Tropical Storm Warning up for St. Mary's County. It's a little confusing though because the LWX main page has the entire county under the warning, but the actual text product only mentions St. Mary's City.

 I say yes to the12z GFS!

Let's hope it comes back! Being south and east of the city might do us well this go around. I really dont care that the models are suppressing the system they way they are even at this point. Ive seen so many time we are sitting pretty for several runs this far out, just to watch a northern trend and take us out of the jackpot zone 24-48 hrs prior to the event. I will not concede on this storm until Thursday.

I didn't realize you were in Prince Frederick too! For some reason I thought you were further south.
