As usual, thermodynamic profiles, storm mode, and areas of greatest concern will remain in question for quite some time. Currently, the NAM shows a more robust skew-T in some spots while the GFS keeps our atmosphere stable with lingering rain/cloud cover (2/2) #mdwx #dcwx #vawx

It appears that our next risk for strong storms in the Mid-Atlantic will be around Monday, as a surface low slides across the OH valley into the northeast, allowing for southwesterly flow to overspread the area, w/ winds veering as you increase in altitude (1/2) #mdwx #dcwx #vawx

Wow. Radar loop eye candy! #INwx

[Sam Brandt @sambrandt99]

A factor to consider tomorrow is how fast translational speeds will alter ground-relative winds in potential tornadoes. It may not take all that strong of a vortex to achieve sigtor level winds in their right front quadrants.

Very insane lower level kinematics for June appear to be possible on Wednesday in the midwest #ilwx #inwx

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

Large amount of supercells currently in PA, some tornado warned, and there have already been confirmed tornadoes. Your wind profile is helping these develop and sustain themselves #pawx

Should support some hail

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

Here is your 18z IAD sounding (in sounderpy dark mode for eye candy) and there is definitely more overall shear overlapping with the cape profile compared to what we had last week, so expect storms to behave a bit differently

[Matthew Cappucci @MatthewCappucci]

Mid-Atlantic gang, particularly near the Chesapeake — an isolated tornado remains possible today.

We have ample storm fuel and we have changing winds with height.

A subtle easterly component to surface winds, especially near the Bay, will bolster low-level helicity (twist).

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

Perhaps there could also be a tornado threat as we go into the evening, with some streamwise vorticity possibly being available to storms (storm relative inflow vector is quite perpendicular to LL shear vector) #mdwx #dcwx #vawx

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

A lee trough (elongated area of low pressure east of mtns) should help initiate our storms in the DMV soon. Deep layer shear seems sufficient enough for sustained convection, but there is uncertainty as to how much instability (and capping) there will be later #mdwx #dcwx #vawx

IShowSpeed didn't realize he was sitting next to Zohran Mamdani the Mayor of New York City the entire time while at the World Cup game 😭

[Jose Garcia @wx_garcia]

WOW quite the intense storm that just came through Manassas!

If you listen closely you hear some tree branches snapping from the winds #vawx @capitalweather @NWS_BaltWash @WashingtonianWx @MikeTFox5 @dougkammerer

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

@capitalweather Wow, thank you!

Yesterdays shelf cloud & sunset in Waldorf, MD @capitalweather #mdwx #photography

Radar screenshot from around that time

@vbear_media @capitalweather @MikeTFox5 @JustinWeather @SCweather_wx Yes I filmed this video and yes you can use it with credit to me. I filmed it around 8pm on 6/11/2026 in DC

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

Beautiful shelf cloud with very strong wind gusts over the Potomac River here at Hains Point in DC @capitalweather @MikeTFox5 @JustinWeather @SCweather_wx #dcwx

[vortrexed @vortrexed]

@AccuWeatherUGC @accuweather Yes you may
