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...

Looks like there maybe a subtle northwest moving boundary on LWX radar. Check out the 0.5° base velocity. If that can juice up those cells coming off WV then we might see some decent hailers coming into the NW suburbs. 

Appears to be the most prominent directly west and north of the radar station. Will see if that can help get some more convection for them right as they move into the more populated areas.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
229 PM EDT Mon Apr 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front will drop southward through the area tonight,
before returning northward as a warm front on Wednesday. A
strong cold front will move through this weekend, with high
pressure building in early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Severe Thunderstorrm Watch #109 is valid until 10 PM since it
covers most of VA to the NC border, although storms are likely
to exit our forecast around 7 PM. Very steep mid-level lapse
rates of around 8C/km due to 500 mb temps of around -20C were
observed on earlier upper air data and more recent MetOp-C
NUCAPS data. This will contribute to a very favorable
environment for large hail perhaps approaching significant hail
up to 2 inches in diameter. Storms will be fast movers moving
around 35 knots and given large dewpoint depressions and strond
mid-level flow may be also capable of producing strong to
damaging winds. Storms should exit our CWA by 8 PM, likely a
little sooner than that.

Rapidly clearing skies are expected later this evening behind
exiting cold front. High pressure builds over the area overnight
into Tue morning with quiet conditions overnight through Tue
morning.
