This was the third day in the last week with severe storms across our region. This one had the theme of low hanging, suspicious clouds that looked like they could be a tornado. This was enhanced by the Tornado Warnings in place across many areas. The other theme at least did confirm my suggestion: We continue to get storms earlier and more robust than short range models have been suggesting.
There was another long path of destruction as shown on the map of reports. As of this morning, there have been no tornados reported. I need to emphasize that we had more destruction last week and over the weekend with still no touchdowns confirmed.
Many of the videos did look like the storm was ‘trying’ to form a funnel cloud, and at close look we can see some rotation with a scud cloud caught in an updraft. There was wind sheer, but perhaps just missed the full formation.
Here is a sample collection so far. Thanks to all that shared… there is a lot more media I received but did not get to process and post.

This truly looks like it was trying to form
Near Kingsville Maryland
This first one looks most compelling. The consensus is that it’s just a SCUD, but when I played with the video. I coped see rotation in that updraft. This was was definitely ‘trying’ and during the Tornado Warning.

*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
