This is early spring in its full glory...nighttime cold frontal passages that nix chasing but tend to keep me awake listening for storms anyway. The pre-frontal line of storms that was pounding its way thru KY and WV is weakening a bit as it runs into dryer more stable air east of the mountains (dewpoints are in the upper 40's in the Piedmont). Any storms that do hold together will be low-topped, meaning no lightning to reveal storm structure and probably no hail either. However, the winds are a bit worrisome and that's why the Storm Prediction Center has us outlooked for strong winds rather than the other severe stuff (you know, hail, tornadoes, that kind of stuff).
Tomorrow morning will be the proof of the pudding when the cold front dives across the Piedmont and coastal plain. I'm expecting that front to be nearing our location about the time I leave the house, meaning a wet and windy drive to work. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be juuuuuuusssssttttt ahead of it...
