SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 10:00 PM EST
2007-07-19 20:27:00 2:20 UPDATE: SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR CULPEPER AND FAQUIER COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA. A couple of showers/storms will pass the immediate metro area in the next hour or so with most of the severe storms staying south.The national Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the entire DC metro area until 10:00 PM tonight.At first, the watch was a bit of a surprise to me due to the lack of daytime heating this morning and early afternooon, but a strong mid and low-level sheer has enabled a number of strong storms to develop across the area. Expect a couple of strong storms capable of damaging winds or small hail across the area.An additional note about the watch is that it stays in effect until 10pm. The reason for this is simple--- the front is still in the Ohio Vallay! As the front continues to approach us, a number of lines that are currently developing over PA and WV may cross the area even as late as midnight. Remember yesterday, severe storms lasted until 4 AM ac... More About: Watch , Effect , Under , Hunde
One more Hot and Humid day before an End of the Week Reprive
2007-07-19 03:42:00 Tonight and Tomorrow:It's currently 86 degrees at Washington Reagan National Airport and mostly cloudy to cloudy skies dominate the region. Expect temperatures to only fall another 10 or 12 degrees by early tomorrow morning.We may start of with sunshine tomorrow, but clouds should gradually increase as a strong upper level impulse approaches the region from the west. Mid afternoon temperatures will likely rocket into the lower 90s before showers and thunderstorms begin breaking out across the region. The Storm Prediction Center currently has the Mid Atlantic outlined under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms for tomorrow afternoon and evening. I think a few strong to intense thunderstorms will develop around the metropolitan region, but most should remain under severe limits (hail greater than 3/4" and/or wind gusts 58 mph).Image at right: Showers and thunderstorms developing throughout the Mid Atlantic and Northeast as temperatures soar into the upper 80s and lower 90s.Image...

2007-07-18 20:14:00 2:00 UPDATE: It doesn't look like there was enough destablization in the atmosphere this morning-early afternoon to allow a major severe weather outbreak. A couple of strong storms may emerge from the Mason-Dixon line and push south and east, but as a whole, we will have to wait until Thursday for a major outbreak of severe weather...Radar image at 2:15 showing a couple of isolated storms around the area, but nothing severe.

2007-07-17 17:40:00 After a crazy afternoon yesterday, one in which nickel size hail and strong winds damaged a number of areas in northern Maryland and south-central Virginia, Tuesday will feature much calmer and more stable weather.Wednesday -Friday , on the other hand will feature a return to the thunderstorms. Some of these storms particulary Thursday (it is still unclear whether or not the front will be able to clear the area by Friday afternoon) will have to be watched.More to come tomorrow.Can you see the front? Whenever you can go from 90% to 20% humidity in about 30 miles, you are going to see strong storms. (This is a map for 8pm Thursday). More About: Action , Break , Today
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 9:00 EST
2007-07-16 20:23:00 The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the entire DC metropolitan area until 9pm this evening. Thunderstorms are increasing in coverage across the eastern slopes of the Appalachians, and will move slowly into increasingly unstable air this afternoon.What is most impressive however, is that the noon air sounding from the area recorded a lifted index at 500mb of around -4 degrees, which means that if a parcel of air is risen to 500mb (the middle layers of the atmosphere), it will be 4 degrees warmer than its environment and thus, continue to rise. As a result, cloud tops of over 55,000 feet will be possible in stronger storms.It is likely that stronger complexes of storms will form bow echos this afternoon, so damaging winds appears to be the biggest risk with any storm that does form.I think that the storms will be able to move into the immediate DC area from west to east between 5-7pm, although storms will be possible before then particularly south a...

Storms NW for Sunday, everywhere for workweek...
2007-07-15 08:12:00 Storms will be likely in the northern and western suburbs of DC Sunday evening, but it won't really be until Monday when most of the area sees widespread thunderstorms (some of which may be strong).The OOZ NAM model (below) shows the linear nature of the storms Sunday evening over PA and WV drifting southeast, however, it doesn't look like these storms will have enough steam to reach the immediate metro area. Areas north and west of line from Frederick to Winchester run the best risk for damaging winds with this line of storms, and it not impossible that the line sticks together long enough give even the immediate metro area some rain/thunder. If anything were to happen, it would not be until after 6pm.Some thunderstorms may be strong to severe from Monday to Thursday as a stationary front keeps up humid and unstable, so additional updates will be provided.

A Few Strong Storms Today, More Tomorrow...
2007-07-10 18:51:00 With air temperatures are in the upper 90s, and dew points are in the upper 60s, its easy to see why a number of storms have popped up over the region this afternoon. I doubt any of these storms will become severe, due to a lack of sheer in the atmosphere, but heavy rain and dangerous lightning are possible in some of the storms (I saw about 20 cloud-to-ground strokes of lightning with a storm that moved just east of my Silver Spring office at about 12:30pm today...). The best chance of for storms will be south and west of DC.The National Weather Service has extended the slight risk area for severe weather to include the entire metropolitan DC area for tomorrow... damaging winds area the greatest risk.Radar image at 12:50pm showing a number of pop-up storms across the area.

Showers, Storms on Tap for Thursday...
2007-07-05 18:26:00 After a crazy 4th of July, things will settle down a bit today. While the northern D.C. area is still under a slight risk for severe weather, given the lack of instability from all of the cloud cover, I do not think the area will see much in the way of strong storms today.With that said, I am confident that almost everyone around the area will see some rain this afternoon and evening. There may even be some thunder or wind in some of the stronger thundershowers, but fortunatly, not much in the way of severe weather.If any severe weather does arise, we will have updates...Radar image at 12:30 showing a wide expanse of showers overthe Apalachians... most of the area should see these pockets of showers/thundershowers this afternoon/evening More About: Thursday , Shower , Showers

2007-07-05 04:54:00 7:10 UPDATE: SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY IN MARYLAND...Discussion: Most of the severe weather, particularly the tornado risk has diminished... EHI values have droped below 2 across the area after peaking at about 3.5 around the 4pm time. This means that most of tornadic activity (3 separate reports of funnel clouds, 1 reported touchdown) has ended.However, as radar continues to indicate, there are stil a number of thunderstorms that have to cross the immediate metro area in the next several hours. With that said, I do expect the fireworks on the mall to go on as planned, but earlier shows across the area may be in difficulty.If you are south of the city, I think you are completely done with the thunderstorm risk, but north of the city, periodic thunderstorms will continue for the next several hours.5:00 UPDATE: TORNADO WARNING FOR SOUTHERN LOUDOUN, NORTHERN FAQUIER, AND NORTHERN PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY.A number of spoters rep...

July 4th Bombers...
2007-07-03 18:03:00 This morning, I am getting increasingly concerned about the chances for strong storms that may interfere with 4th of July evening celebrations across the D.C. area. My concerns are in line with the NWS, which went ahead and extended the slight risk area for severe storms tomorrow to include the immediate western subburbs of the District.The flow aloft tomorrow will be from the Northwest while at the low levels, the flow will be from the southwest. That will lead to increasing shear and the potential for supercells to develop that can support tornadoes and large hail.Why do we always show the lifted indexes? Because Storms needs enough liftto rise to 45,000 feet + for them to be of concern. Tomorrow evening, lifted indexes at 7pm (shown) will be at about -4, meaning that at 500 mb, a parcel of air will be 4 degrees warmer than its environment (meaning that it will keep rising).The dangers Wednesday are not associated with the cold front (we will have to worry about that Thursday) but...

Drier Air Moving in... Storms Return for 4th-5th
2007-06-30 20:55:00 The same front that sparked our severe weather on Thursday has been very slow in getting out of the area. However, it looks like drier air will finally start filtering into the area tonight and into tomorrow (below).NAM model for Sunday, showing humidity at about 20%!!!As for the work week, it looks like the heat and humidity will return (like that's new) for Tuesday, and really get bad for the 4th of July. We will need to watch the chance of storms for the 4th, as moderatly unstable air will meet an approaching cold front. I don't believe that we will see a wide-scale severe weather event on the 4th due to an absense of sheer in the atmosphere--- but spotty storms may be possible.The real interesting day this week appears that it will be Thursday, where there may a significant severe weather event...stay tuned.

Cooler Weather The Rest of the Workweek
2007-06-13 23:34:00 Currently:A few showers and thunderstorms are presently traversing areas south and west of the immediate DC metro area. An intense, severe thunderstorm currently over Herndon and Fairfax in Virginia produced nickel to quarter size hail in Rest on, and will affect Manassas and Manassas Park within the next 30 minutes to an hour.Regional forecast models do indicate the potential for the main line of severe storms (currently located in Central Pennsylvania) to propogate southward into central Maryland between 6 and 8 PM tonight.

Changeable Spring Weather

Cutoff Low Creates dreary Springtime weather

First Full Day of Summer Yields Oppressive Heat
2007-02-19 20:31:02 **FLOOD POTENTIAL**Isolated thunderstorms and heavy showers across the region have started flooding in several areas. Thunderstorms are moving very slowly, and are dropping copious amounts of rainfall in the isolated places they are ocurring. Through the night, be prepared for flooded roads, especially in low-lying or hilly terrain. On this first full day of summer, temperatures have soared into the low 90s under partly sunny skies and a breezy northwesterly wind. The good news is that dewpoints are relatively low--hovering around 60 degrees--which isn't adding too much of that sticky feeling outside.Severe WeatherWhile widespread severe thunderstorms are not anticipated, the Storms Prediction Center has placed parts of the region under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms. Surface Based CAPE-- which is a measure of how unstable the atmosphere is, and, hence reveals how likely thunderstorms are to become severe--is very high, ranging anywhere from 2000 to 3000 Joules/Kg.

Washout!
2007-02-19 20:31:02 After the record-breaking rainfall experienced last night, we're once again caught in the middle of a miniature War zone along the east coast. A quasi-stationary frontal boundary (warm and cold front collide and stall) is draped from New England all the way down into Florida, and this combined with copious amounts of tropical moisture surging northward from the Western Atlantic has produced flooding rainfall across much of the Mid Atlantic.Intense bursts of rainfall will intermingle with lighter but steady rainfall as independent bands move northward from Virginia. Expect anywhere from 2 to 6 more inches of rainfall before everything finally makes its way out of the region by Friday.Even with the passage of this stationary front by the end of the week, little ripples in the upper atmosphere may initiate showers and thunderstorms over the weekend.Stay up to date with the latest traffic information at Maryland Department of Transportation's website More About: Wash , Shout
