That big cell just east of front of Front Royal means buisness. I has dark purple in its most intense core (on the Accuweather screen), which is a good indication of large hail.

In fact, NWS has a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for that area till 8:45 PM.

Sorry, guys....my grammar and spelling on that last post was atrocious. I'm not always careful enough with the keyboard.

My big cell dissolved into nothing just as it entered NW Montgomery. Huge towering clouds and bombing thunder turned into zip....again.

Earlier this evening I was certain that we were going to get socked in Loudoun. Driving out Rt 7 the sky sure looked threatening, and I even saw a lightning strike just north of Countryside. And....*crickets*
