Stormfly Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Lime sized hail? When did they start using fruits?! Just saw whitecaps on Deep Creek Lake via bridge CHART cam! Definitely looks windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yes grapefruit seemed to be the holy grail of hail. Cantaloupe, OTOH, is just suicidal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 lol so the lime size use to say "hen egg" size and there was a lot of questions/comments/jokes made. There also use to be "tea cup" size hail, but they've replaced that with "large apple" or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Is there a smaller line starting to pop over the Shen Valley, out ahead of (what I thought was) the main show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty regular occurrence in the region. A lot of times we don't see long tracking squall lines from the west side of the mountains freight train their way through. Boundaries like lee troughs and bay breezes tend to influence storm development locally in the LWX WFO. Terrain circulations are big too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Couldn't help but to notice this -- NPZ I hope you got a storm at your new place! At 417 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Stephens City, or near Millwood Pike, moving east at 45 mph. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Nothing severe with the first storm here but no slouch either. Lots of T&L... Maybe 45+/- gusts. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 That area where the 70mph warned cell is right now is a *very* common area for damaging wind storms to form during our severe events. Believe July 25, 2010 had a core of winds show up there before sweeping across Loudoun, MoCo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewell2188 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just judging by current radar this does appear to be generally north of 66 and possible north of DC metro event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 We will have to see whether the outflow runs too far out ahead of these. They are heading into some very juicy/unstable air. But if outflow rushes out, that could dampen severe chances behind it (and increase the heavy rain risk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Radarscope ha 2 inch hail indicated, Not sure what the ground truth is, but see some hail signatures in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephens City is the Short Pump of the high desert region. 91 with a tropical airmass in place. I feel like a good lightning show is on the way this evening for most of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 The trajectory of that wind core looks good for me - but it's still early...any deviation could mean a vastly different outcome this far east. It'll get at least a swath of MoCo. Remains to be seen which parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
