I'm good if DC stays under clouds all day - don't want severe after last weekend.

Of course just as I say that, blue sky patches opening up unfortunately.

working AH, just starting to brighten here by the bay

Sun is coming out in Parkton

[Eskimo Joe]

First SVR warning of the day near Parkesburg, WV. 

[MN Transplant]

The higher deck of clouds were preventing the sun from doing work on the lower deck.  Now that the higher clouds have passed, it is only a matter of time.  I see blue.  78.7 and humid.

[Mrs.J]

81/73 dew, with light winds out of the SW. Scattered clouds. Am sitting out on my deck as it is still in shade till about noon. Not too bad in the shade right now. Can feel the humidity/dew though. 

All my conditions can be seen in the link in my posts for real time updates. Ballanger Creek Backyard Weather station.

I am hoping for a couple rounds of good thunderstorms with heavy rain and lots of lightning, bonus if second round is at night.  But I don't want damaging severe.  I've experienced baseball size hail twice (1978 and 1992) and I don't ever want to see that again

Let’s go 

[Eskimo Joe]

Per the SPC mesoanalysis, we're losing convective inhibition pretty quickly. I'll be interested to see if we can hold off on any crapvection.

Walked by a window at work - and there's still plenty of clouds but with a few sunny breaks in the Rockville/Potomac area.

same - now that i own a house, not really thrilled about the prospect of dealing with it.  It was different when we were in a big condo building with buried power lines all around us.

[Skywalker03]

Sun just peeked out in Rockville, but still mostly cloudy.  It's been getting lighter over the last hour.

First hint of blue sky downtown baltimore.

[yoda]

Which will come first - our MCD or the 1630z SPC OTLK?

[Winter Wizard]

I think all systems are a go for one of the most significant severe weather outbreaks in our region the past few years. Skies are clearing so CIN is quickly eroding and our atmosphere is destabilizing, we’ll see if any crapvection fires out ahead - that’s probably the main limiting factor at this point. Kinematics still look quite favorable for some discrete cells to pop off the Appalachians this afternoon and I do think the tornado potential is legitimate especially those of you outside the Beltways. Linear storm modes are favored by the time you get inside the Beltway and east and we’ll be looking at a widespread damaging wind event. I am concerned about the potential for tens if not hundreds of thousands of power outages once this moves through. Hope everybody is safe, this is looking more and more like one for the books.

85/74 at Fort Belvoir...quickly clearing off in past 30 min. My boss and I are the only two in the office, but since he lives in Upper Marlboro, he said we're BOTH hightailing it at 1:30 to TW rest of day at home, and be well ahead of any incoming wx.

[mappy]

More blue sky than clouds in Parkton, 78/73. Just did the outside storm prep work

[RickinBaltimore]

Few patches of blue sky starting to show in Dundalk

[Eskimo Joe]

LWX launching a special 18z balloon.

[SnowenOutThere]

Just set up an actual ambient weather station yesterday and its apparent how partial clearing is already starting to hike up instability

[pazzo83]

80/76 rn in Tenleytown - yikes.

[yoda]

Rotation and TVS markers starting to show up in WV on Radarscope 

[Eskimo Joe]

Northern end of that line went bonkers fast in WV.

[Eskimo Joe]

First tornado warning of the day in far NW WV.
