Really nice airmass today for storms. 

[Kmlwx]

WIsh we had monster shear. 

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

Real nice High pressure showing up between Atlanta and N. Florida on radar.

Storms should improve in strength as they near the i95 corridor

Mesos are weak sauce compared to what’s already happening

HRRR's when the line was starting to form didn't even have it.

Quick question. What is the favored radar by those who know? In advance, my thanx.

What do you mean? Like radar site? I'd use KLWX and the local tdwr locations at the airports. 

If you mean app - Radarscope for mobile devices and GR (all products) grlevelx.com 

[Inkstains]

Listen, thank you. Appreciate it. I'm not as far out of it as I feared. Steady on.

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

LWX is pretty good. The NWS still had radar clutter when my reality had moved far out of that.. 

[Kmlwx]

12z and 18z NAM were pretty consistent with sending a significant cluster of storms across the region on Monday afternoon. I realize it is laughable to use this product - but both also had a strong UD helicity swath somewhere in the region (different places on each run). 

Monday has potential to be a decent severe day if the front doesn't clear the area too quickly. 

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

It's feeling like tomorrow could be upgraded to a Slight risk. 

[southmdwatcher]

SPC day 2 did upgrade to Slight risk for a very small corridor. HGR down to DCA east/northeastward to central NJ

I've been using Radarscope for nearly 10 years.  It's my go to.

Before it was developed for Android I used PYKL3 which I believe is abandonware at this point.  Too bad as it was better with overlays and customization.

On Windows I've used GRLevel2AE but that's been a while.  I usually roam around with either my 11" ipad pro or one of my other mobile devices.

Fauquier and Warren and Rappahannock counties under STW near Front Royal... storm barely moving 

[Kmlwx]

18z NAM nest brings a bow echo type complex on a direct hit through the metro area tomorrow PM.

Then brings another decent line through around 02z/03z TUES

[Kmlwx]

The wind gust product on the COD model page shows that line packing 50-55kt winds. 

[Kmlwx]

There's a fast moving outflow boundary coming NE from the storms in VA. That could ignite some additional storm development into the metro areas. Radar is looking pretty lit up to the west and southwest. 

[87storms]

this storm belongs in the severe thread.  healthy wind, lightning, rain...total package.  hopefully others can cash in.

[NorthArlington101]

That storm really rained itself out. Got some decent lightning photos. Parking lot scenery though.

I use RadarScope, as well, but I have no idea how to use most of the options/outputs on it. One thing I don’t like is the lack of a composite national radar, but for being able to view your local radar, it’s pretty great.

Ton of reports tonight

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

Slight risk for thunderstorms today.. NYC to DC looks like the opposite of what I'm experiencing fwiw

[Kmlwx]

Slight risk expanded.
