My excitement grew this morning as I checked the Storm Prediction Center's website to look at their convective outlook for Virginia, and found they had us under a significant threat for supercells with strong winds, hail, and possible tornadoes. The discussion noted the threat would begin after 2pm and continue through the late evening. My last check of the radar before I had to leave for work showed clusters of small individual cells moving out of northern West Virginia into Winchester and western Maryland. During my breaks at work, I poked my head outside to see what was developing in the sky. It looked very promising...very high humidity and building cumulus clouds, with a stiff breeze out of the southwest. Even when I get off work at 9, there was still enough light to see the horizon, and saw fairly impressive cumulus congestus to the north and west. Got home and checked the radar, and much to my dismay, the squall lines had all passed just to the north of Richmond, with nothing coming from the west. Not a drop of rain here in Midlothian, VA (Midlothian is nine miles west of Richmond). News reports say that lots of trees are down in Caroline County, and two folks reported seeing a funnel cloud. Looks like the cold front won't be east of us until tomorrow afternoon, so perhaps we'll get in on the action then, we could use a good soaking.
