I'm standing on a ridge with a perfect view of the cell. It's beautiful. It smells like pine trees and it looks like rain wrapped rotation. I'm going to head towards Taneytown and catch this beast produce a twister. I can feel it.

I’m in Banff having a laundry day and sipping a cocktail. Instead of catching up with the 10 pages, I jumped to the last page. Have you posted pics? A yes or no will suffice. I will scroll back later if yes.

The multiple bowing segments idea seems to be winning.  The line in VA doesn't look very impressive on reflectivity, but there are still 60mph+ velocity readings just north of 66.

Yeah, that main bow probably going to steal the show and at the same time close off the (currently) most favorable area for supercells. Cells further south that can remain more discrete will have their shot as they get closer to the Bay.
