Forecasting weather in Washington/Baltimore. It's a great way to induce hair loss.

@MikeTFox5 Doesn't 2010 hold the record for 90-degree days?

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

Fun with polygons: a slight risk of severe weather for approximately half of Fairfax County

We are sending out 4 different survey teams today to investigate damage across 9 counties across West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.

We will release our findings later this afternoon and evening!

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

A bit of an update to the reports map yesterday. Adding a few more tornado reports and shading for urbanized areas.

Green on this map is Flash Flood Warnings and reports
Blue squares are the handful of wind damage reports
Purple triangles are the funnel cloud rpts

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

@MikeTFox5 Where have I heard that one before? A front being slower to advance than expected 🤣

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

Also, one thing to remember: In SPC terminology, storm coverage does influence the risk level. So, was marginal the correct category, given a handful of tornadic supercells? I'm sure that'll be debated.

I can see the case for SLGT, but hindsight is 20/20

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

When you map it out like this there's some groupings and that's probably where Sterling's attention will be focused

[Mike Thomas @MikeTFox5]

Been a long time since I've seen this many tornado reports in our region, as tornadoes here are typically not long track. When all is said and done, we're likely talking about multiple reports from 3-4 different tornadoes, but survey teams will determine this in the days ahead.

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

@AntonioKJohnso1 Because nothing suggested an outbreak of a scale that warranted it. Was that wrong? I'm sure that'll debated hotly

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

Just a warning that the algorithms that control our social media lives will be regurgitating stuff about the warning in Montgomery Co for days.

There is no further active threat

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

partial eclipse and some cloud cover is a pretty weird combination

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

20% of the sun will be blocked by 2:27
expect possibly noticeable effects around 2:45

[Jordan Tessler @TerpWeather]

look up! safely

the moon is starting to bite the sun!
