Last night's Euro was over an inch for DC.  The GFS that is just rolling out has a sharp cutoff near DC, with only 0.5" or so in MD and up to 3" south of Frederickburg.

Booooo...weak sauce.

 

Yea that PIT cell was nice.  Saw a M2.00" hail report just east of the city.

Really surprised they aren't dropping a watch box from I-81 back through Pitt.  These storms have a history of producing wind/hail damage and the environment ahead of them is pretty conducive for propogation.  Terrain should help enhance some of the updrafts too, even a little further south into the WV panhandle and western MD.
