That is a beefy cell - no competition and I don't see any outflow yet. Pretty atypical for our area. Of course now that I said it the next frame will gust out :lol: 

Lightning production has been a good indicator of path and intensity tendency with this. The lightning has tended to be SE or even S of the radar returns...some of that is likely the radar data lagging behind the radar update - but I'd say areas just south of the Potomac look great right now if it maintains.

Yeah. I'm not sure. My NOAA weather radio went off saying there was a watch for local counties (Arlington, Fairfax, etc... *shrugs*)

Expansion of the existing watch to the south. They are sneaky like that sometimes when the area is not big enough for a new watch.

Is its just because close to radar or is the Loudoun cell hooking?

There was some spin I guess at high levels. Nothing near surface. Just an appendage really I think. And that Loudoun storm is crap now regardless.

I'm actually happyO with that. It's a great way to understand the thinking behind SPC's outlook and watch decision making.

Oh I have no problem with it at all, I find them informative reading too. It just struck me as unusual. But maybe it happens more than I think.
