Per wv imagery, it’s just about gametime for the metros. Hoping to see some cells moving thru.

What does this mean specifcally for the I 95 corridor from Baltimore to Northern Virginia? I need to let my spouse know and now!

I’m no expert lol but I think the next couple hours will be the best chance for storms moving through the corridor.  Doesn’t look like a solid line of storms so far today but more of the scattered/popcorn variety which is pretty hard to predict.

Pretty weak sauce garden variety storms. Not even sure a watch was warranted. Drove through the cell approaching warrenton, very typical storm.

The one moving thru just south of me and into northwest dc has some lightning associated with it.

They’re boom or bust. Pretty compact so far.

Rumble rumble in the distance.

Storming enough in the distance to close the pool - probably for the whole evening.

Ping pong ball sized hail for the storm near Bethesda

[dailylurker]

Last few frames on the radar look like things are blossoming west of DC metro.

[09-10 analogy]

Getting some pretty gusty winds, I'd say in the 40s. Also some pings, I couldn't see any hail but raindrops generally don't make that sound, so I'd say a little bit of (very small) hail mixed in as well. Some thunder but no close lightning strikes.

Pea size hail in Chevy Chase 

[snjókoma]

Wow! Look at those 70 dbz readings just north of Great Falls!

TVS sig on radarscope near Grear Falls 

ETA: was there for a few minutes... gone now

[09-10 analogy]

Wow ... legit golfball-sized hail in upper nw and a lot of it.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Picked up a whopping .02".  Another dud of a day here.  It refuses to rain.  Less than 1" since 5/3.  Numerous areas of browning showing up in my yard.  All is right in the world again.

Ping pong ball hail now!

Deep bass thunder moving thru.

[87storms]

certainly not severe here (imby), but a respectable garden variety thunderstorm.

[biodhokie]

ping pong ball size hail in Rockville!

[snjókoma]

Is that some weak rotation showing up on the DC cell?

[yoda]

Wonder if Ian got any golf ball sized hail 

[MN Transplant]

Trace so far.  Hoping for that cell back west of IAD, but that one holding together is asking a lot.
