Was the warning needed? Couldn't really see anything from sterling radar, better safe than sorry I suppose.

IAD and DCA terminal doppler radar had a legit couplet.

Cool, went right over my house, at school right now so won't know what happened for a bit. Just saw the image, I looked at radarscope but it only lasted a frame so was hard to make out but it makes sense the NWS knows just a bit more than me.
