Chinook Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 This is a really blue sector the CC. It's probably a false indicator of tornado damage. Rotation seems to be notable at the same spot. This is the Maryland/ WV border. (farthest west Maryland) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 When you have the out of region heavy hitters watching and posting, you know you have something legit on your hands. These early cells look intense. Still watching that one west of Hagerstown. Hail look to that one now with another big cell developing north just over the MD/PA border. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would doubt those that DO get hammered by any storms are going to say the threat was overblown or "complaining" about a bust, despite many others perhaps not getting anything too bad. Not the same animal as a large-scale snow event that underperforms almost everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
