SVR warning for D.C. and us in the MD suburbs. Good time to be riding the subway home!

 

[Equus]

These are looking awfully cellular. Multiple SVR now in MS, weak rotation near Eupora

 

[MikeP]

Any balloon data yet?

 

[Equus]

Pretty nice couplet between Trinity and Athens

 

[Bama Ravens]

BMX hasn't updated their AFD since like 4am other than for aviation. Frustrating on a day like today.

Baseball-sized hail in Toney earlier, and cell with large hail hitting Huntsville now.

 

[WesL]

We had nickel and quarter size hail here in Research Park in Huntsville. Looks like my Jeep has survived another round of hail.

 

[KoD]

Caught the tail end of it in Jones Valley, Huntsville. 3/4th inch hail. I don't want to imagine what Madison and others experienced with that extreme reflectivity

 

[warneagle]

I have no idea what happened here; got on the subway before it started, and it was past by the time my train came back above ground. Doesn't look like we got too much other than rain up here north/northeast of DC. Worst storms were down to the south of the metro area I think.

Oh, what a time for KHTX to go down !!

That cell in Fayette doesn't look good to me...
