Hey guys, I am up at Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville watching these storms roll in. Sky looks very dark on the Westminster part of the line.

Wesminter cell gusting out, tops down below 30kft and outflow boundary now moving south along MD Route 26 from New Market to Winfield.  Couple of rogue showers popping up over Sykesville.

Converging outflow boundaries over I-270 lead to eruption of storms.  Always cool to see this go down.  Storms should fall apart in the next hour of so, so wet microburst potential was worth the SVRs, IMO.  Biggest storm currently at the eastern end of the convergence near Laurel with tops near 50kft.  That will probably last the longest since it's got a bit more room to pull instability from.

Wow I've never missed such heavy rain so close before -- I watched the edge of very heavy rain train west to east literally 1-2 miles south of me and never got more than a couple drops.  I bet there was 1-2" as close as 2-3 miles south.  Talk about getting NPZ-ed!

At least I did get 0.5 yesterday so there's that.

What is causing the interference on the radar?  Seems to be happening to every radar on the East coast.

If you are referring to those patches appearing on all the radars, it's ground clutter.

I guess maybe?  From this mornings SPC 4-8 day OTLK...

 ...Day 5/Saturday and Day 6/Sunday...
   Severe potential may accompany the southern Plains dryline, and cold
   front as it moves south/eastward across the Great Lakes/Appalachians
   into the southern Plains during the weekend. Unstable/favorably
   sheared conditions will exist over a broad area from the
   central/southern Plains eastward into portions of the mid-Atlantic
   states. Uncertainty regarding timing of upper-level impulses and
   effects of prior convection preclude severe risk areas with this
   outlook.
