FWIW

Since it’s quiet in here, thought you might like to see what my tree trunk looks like after my direct strike from June 29 with the tree removed yesterday. Pretty wild.

This is what it looked like about 5 minutes after the latest STW was issued, and about 2 minutes before the "really good" rain hit...

The environment that this evenings storms had. I do wonder if that dewpoint is a bit high though.

    That dew point is high, but the LCLs were clearly very low, and the low-level shear was quite respectable.

I think that tomorrow will be a SLGT for most of the area except western and far northern counties.    Good agreement now among the CAMs that storms will erupt along the front early tomorrow afternoon in an environment with decent shear and instability.

Main story here: rain. A LOT of rain. Water laying everywhere. Nearly 5" in the gauge no lie

Sounds bad up that way. Anne Arundel Fire Swiftwater Teams are responding to assist. 

 

Edit:

Anne Arundel, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Lancaster County, & York County all have resources on scene/responding.

Its MRGL on the early new day 1 (0600z) but LWX seems to agree with you in their morning disco

  

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A cold front currently over the OH valley will move across our area
today, bringing another round of showers and thunderstorms. The
early morning showers and few embedded storms in WV and western PA
will move into the Alleghenies by sunrise. Not expecting any strong
storms, though some locally heavy rainfall is possible.

The potential for strong to severe thunderstorms is going to focus
along and east of the Blue Ridge this afternoon, though a few strong
storms could also develop in the Central Shenandoah Valley. Morning
cloud cover is expected to quickly dissipate, allowing for good
diurnal heating and destabilization to take place. Temps this
afternoon reach the mid to upper 80s, with dew points still in the
lower 70s. The atmosphere remains very moist as PWATs hover around
2.0" through the afternoon.

Most of the high res models indicate a broken line of thunderstorms
developing along the front as it reaches I-81, but especially as it
moves east of the Blue Ridge where the better instability will be.
Deep layer shear around 20-30 knots should be enough to allow some
organized strong to severe convection to get going. SPC currently
has a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe storms, though that
could be upgraded to a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for areas east of
the Blue Ridge later this morning. Damaging wind gusts will be the
main threat from storms. Faster storm motion should prevent any
significant flooding issues from occurring, though there will be
quick downpours in the stronger storms.

The front and line of storms push east of I-95 by sunset, then any
lingering showers behind the front dissipate by late evening. Dry
conditions overnight as lows settle in the mid to upper 50s
along/west of I-81 and low to mid 60s to the east.

Its rain contaminated, but 06z NAM has a TOR sounding near KDCA at 00z from what looks like a single supercell moving through DC metro on sim radar.  Not much else going on across the region besides some showers/storms south and east of DC metro by 21z

06z NAM Nest and 07z HRRR are kind of boring for most of the region except maybe south and east of DC

       Things definitely trended faster with the boundary overnight.   Recent HRRR runs look slightly slower again - we'll see if the storms fire just west of I-95 or just east of it

Wow

"Stoddard said according to early estimates, 15 tornadoes touched down across the state of Maryland causing several million dollars in damage. He said authorities would have a more complete estimate later Thursday. "

more on that in the 9:59 a.m. update 

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
No major changes to the previous forecast. Have worked with SPC
to see if a Slight Risk is warranted for portions of the area
east of I-95. Will continue to evaluate the 12Z guidance to
collaborate any risk updates with the 1630Z outlook. Previous
discussion follows...

Obviously am curious what the rating will end up being. Can’t find damage photos that look significantly worse than the EF-1 damage I saw in Arlington a few years ago… or that looks too much stronger than the microburst. But very tough to tell and #notaprofessional

High-end EF1 looks about right so far.
