Bro In law caught this beast of a bolt in Fenwick yesterday.  Too bad the neighbor's roof blocks part of the view but a pretty wild shot nonetheless.

Lots of thunder, lightning and heavy rain.  No wind hardly at all.  Perfect rainbow storm with the sun breaking out as the clouds cleared to the west. Saw the rainbow and told my 12 yo daughter to tak

I was stuck in a meeting and couldn't get outside, but that Loudoun cell was looking pretty beastly from inside on approach. Thankful that the worst stayed just north of me

its too early to be overthinking lol

I already had a message from work come through half an hour ago (after I had alerted them to the Tornado Watch) asking if I could monitor the weather and please let them know when any severe weather approaches (STW or TWs)... so I'm on my way to Starbucks soon for coffee lol

Its my day off... but since the whole building knows I am a weather nerd and management knows I'm a storm spotter for the NWS... I get drafted to assess and assist for DDC3 operations

hahahaha I literally just sent the kid's principal an email about the weather. We often email on severe days that could impact schools.

We do pick and stage at my work (I am at Amazon Delivery Station full time now at DDC3 in Springfield) from 9am to 1230pm every day... which is basically getting the bags and packages set and put on the vans for delivery... so apparently it has become my job to alert for any bad weather this morning so they can hold vans or bring in any drivers from outside for their safety if needed

I remember that Amazon facility that got hit a while back -- can't remember where that was.  That was scary!  Amazon workers are the awesome sauce

10z HRRR run suggests this is the main show between 16-18z and then we get some general thunderstorms/showers later on. 

 

ETA - the RAP indicates two distinct "tongues" of instability. One with the morning activity and then another surge of higher SB/MLCAPE values later on.
