11 June B-U-S-T, 12 June storms

This was the radar depiction about the time I decided to head out for a chase yesterday. SPC had our area under a severe TS watch, and this line of storms was plowing into very juicy air over the Virginia Piedmont. An hour later all of this activity had vanished, leaving me with a familiar sinking feeling that a B-U-S-T was underway. Sure enough, the SPC rescinded the severe TS watch almost 3 hours before it was to expire. Fortunately I didn't go very far out of my way so I didn't waste a lot of time or money.
To help alleviate the feelings of convective failure I stopped on the way home from work today to watch a rain-free base between two cells:

The base exhibited several lowerings but nothing specific happened, which wasn't surprising since the probability of severe weather was forecast to be very low today. The next few days hold the promise of scattered general thunderstorms, but I will keep an eye out for interesting stuff!
