2022 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx Thread (General Discussion Etc)

[arlwx]

This suggests that the storms may be reaching the western edges of BaltoWash around 4:30 or 5, perhaps sooner.

[Kmlwx]

Formidable outflow rushing out ahead of the storms now. 

[mappy]

lol i only just looked at radar. that looks nice. 

[brooklynwx99]

this looks like a scenario where most in MD north of DC get the bulk of their gusts with the outflow. that line has become outflow dominant very quickly, so I don't see it lasting too long

the boundary could fire some new pop-ups tho

[aldie 22]

The wind is howling, hopefully some rain to follow soon

for the amount I help contribute to LR stuff during the winter (very often times optimistically), I don't exactly feel like this level of snark is warranted over valid meteorological analysis

I apologize if my post came off the wrong way, didn't mean to come off as a downer or anything. many should get good winds with the outflow anyway. IAD gusted to 52

you interpreted that incorrectly. 

[biodhokie]

Looking more and more like the HRRR is going to win out.

[IronTy]

Me watching RadarScope...

 

 

 

 

[aldie 22]

I mean it's raining so i'm not complaining, thought it would be a tad heavier based on radar but beggars can't be choosers so YAY

[mappy]

Def some little cells popping up along the boundary ahead of the line

Yeap. He probably looked when it initial gusted to 52 before gusting to 56 a few minutes later.

The last few scans show it well. I only wanted rain so thunder is a bonus
