Just make sure to roll your windows up and change your air to recirculation if you're driving north out of town.
Caught a parking lot shelf before the rain. Only a couple rumbles of thunder so far. #WOOOSTORMS
Had an impromptu storm chase north of Frederick, MD earlier while driving home. #WOOOSTORMS
Not coming toward me but just heard a good clap of thunder from it. #WOOOSTORMS
Could outrun these storms with a light jog lol. Hoping some cold pools develop to propagate this stuff eastward.
Just a FYI the KDMW site almost assuredly has bad numbers. It's 6-8F above nearby stations (1st pic Earth Networks, 2nd MD mesonet).
Starting to think they need to replace the temperature sensor at KDMW (the 102F reading). Been a good few degrees warmer than nearby sites on the hot days, including 5+ warmer today.
