[yoda]

MD out... 40% chance of a watch for far NW portions of the LWX CWA

SLGT risk for tomorrow now - SPC indicates supercell development possible.

Storm is pretty impressive. Almost went to Shenandoah today with friends. Could’ve been a storm chase

            I think I'm going to have to eat some crow and acknowledge that the Columbia picture is legit, although I'm not going down without complaining about the panoramic distortion.

            Back to storm threats, I'm keeping an eye on late Sunday.     NAM nest is inconsistent with timing, but some cells may develop nearby on some sort of lee trough feature, and then a line may approach during the evening.    Deep layer shear (no directional shear, though) and instability would support some damaging wind threat.

  

Newer smartphones have a wide angle lens.  I have a Galaxy S10+ and the wide angle capture is quite impressive in that regard.

Looks like you got a STW

Severe warned storm here now, but just garden variety summer storm.  Rain is needed though.

This is the first significant rain in nearly 2 weeks ( I think).  As an allergy sufferer. it doesn't take long to develop a desire for rain this time of year.

Heading into tornado alley of Fauquier County in a bit.  Too bad (fortunately) it's more stable east of the Blue Ridge.

Radarscope has only a 0.75 hail marker on it... so I guess its starting to weaken

Finally warned again.

Tornado "possible". 

[yoda]

Funnel cloud reported by two spotters in Warrenton

[yoda]

Is that just the radar playing tricks on radarscope or is that another storm right behind the TW one with a hook as well?

Nah, it definitely has a hook. Maybe some rotation too.

[NorthArlington101]

Looks pretty impressive. Cells merged well.

 

Looks like it really wants to wrap up

Looks good around Remington

[Roger Ramjet]

Best storm of the year for me. No hail, but incredible rain rates and wind gusts that are easily over 50mph.
