Chasing tomorrow!

With a warm front hanging around just to the north of the Potomac River and the forecast instability (see above) it looks like I'll be "forced" to use some vacation hours to chase tomorrow afternoon.  With wind speed shear expected but little or no directional shear I'd normally expect to see some decent hail and little else, but the warm front in the vicinity provides a wild card.  I wouldn't rule out a minor spinup or two as cells approach the boundary.  My initial target will be dictated by what time I can break away from the workplace responsibilities vs. where convection is firing.  I'll likely make a last-minute real time decision on where to position the chasemobile.
