Convection, but no chase

Can we say "FROPA"?  Well, at least a prefrontal convective line; the true frontal passage looks like it occurred a couple hours after this radar view.  This looks a lot more impressive than it really was at the time, since the storms intensified a bit -tho' not much - after they moved east of Fredericksburg.  The good stuff was well north of us, with no watches, warnings, or storm reports for our area as of 8:30 pm.  Thus the previous indications of just garden variety storms proved correct.  I did go out to observe the approach of this line and experienced the outflow, but that's about as exciting as it got.
