The local models indicated a bit of instability today, but the best "action" was to take place both north and south of us again (sound familiar?). So far this has held true, but I did squeeze in an intercept of a neat little shower in King George county. It never did pack much of a punch, but it came framed by a bright blue sky:
As the base moved in my direction a rain shaft developed underneath, with a bright streak in the left center that was either a unique sun reflection off the rain or a small hail shaft (I couldn't tell which):
Finally the cell developed an outflow that I estimated at 25 knots, not enough to cause damage but good enough to cool me and my location off:
The updraft never punched high enough to create charge separation thus there was no lightning or thunder. So was this a chase? I don't know and I don't care...I enjoyed it!
