    this is a huge problem across the board. my own mother, for a time, didn't even know the difference. however, regarding schools, the State of Maryland Board of Ed needs to make sure their teachers and especially their principals are properly trained to know the correct verbiage and what to do. I hope this is a serious lesson to the school, and the overall county, on properly handling of these situations.

    I saw. Lots of discussion earlier this week on why an elementary school in the middle of the tornado warning dismissed the kids anyways. Apparently the warning came out minutes before the dismissal bell rang, and the principal was told yet had the kids leave anyways. really stupid. and FWIW: my daughter's school held the kids until 4pm, even though the warning was south and east.

    Missed all the fun including the tornado warned storm over my work. Was sitting in traffic driving back from Montgomery county. Oh well

    My other half just emailed asking of this was it in terms of severe

    ahh, you did say 1-95 corridor. my bad. i have a hard time believe that slug of moisture south of DC won't hit I-95

    Are we looking at the same HRRR?

    My understanding of SPCs outlook was the any pre squall stuff had the potential for severe/tornado. Otherwise, the worst would come through later with the main squall line (later tonight).

    rotation looked good when the warning was first issued, its weakened a bit.

    If you get radarscope you can choose between different types of subscriptions to go along with it. I have Pro Tier 1 (additional $10 a year) with gives you lightning, dual-pane display and longer loops Pro Tier 2 includes all of Tier 1 plus SPC outlooks, local storm reports, 30day archive of radar, shear and hail contours and cross platform subscription at $15 a month, or $100 a year

    Farting Butterflies Jump to navigationJump to search The most important question of life... Can butterflies fart? The answer? Nobody knows. https://en.illogicopedia.org/wiki/Farting_Butterflies

    a butterfly could fart that causes rotation and LWX will issue a warning for it.

    Also, SPC issues watches, not the individual CWAs (though they do coordinate together). I would expect both Wakefield and Mt Holly CWA to be put under watches (or parts of the CWA).

    next, as EJ said. the mid-Atlantic MD came out first, so makes sense.
  21. mappy
    BAM
  22. mappy
    Yeah and the MD for us mentions an isolated tornado threat, as well as in the text
  23. mappy
    from SPCs 1630 outlook With that, I would probably expect a tornado watch for us this afternoon.
  24. mappy
    latest HRRR does suggest some of the storms may have rotation. MD out for a tornado watch to our south.
  25. mappy
    Im surprised at the 5% for TOR, at least up this way. Makes sense further south.
