  1. Posting the alleged new CFS DJF snowfall map for the laughs. If this somehow happened I'd probably be happy. It would be the first above average seasonal snowfall I've had in a decade.
  2. Several new National Weather Service weather spotter classes have been scheduled for the autumn. https://www.weather.gov/lwx/skywarn
  3. Yea radar looks like absolute garbage.
  4. It would really be something if we were completely shut out from this event.
  5. Historically those are not the greatest for snowfall in these parts, correct?
  6. So is this an east based, or basinwide El Nino at this point?
  7. Always great to give the cactuses some water.
  8. Some cool weather new for Maryland/DC folks. Montgomery County is developing an extension to the statewide mesonet with a focus on suburban and urban tripod stations. This will be known as the Montgomery County Micronet, with at least four (4) additional stations coming online this autumn. The first site just went online this past week. @wxmeddler and I rushed this site to completion as the MCS dove south from PA and we got it online maybe 10 min before the storms came in. When all is said and done, we'll have stations about ever five to seven miles in Montgomery County.
  9. Well said. I agree with layering the Maryland counties adjacent to the Potomac River on the watch in case upscale growth occurs, but it's going to be tough. Our only chance seems to be from those storm just NW of Martinsburg getting their act together.
  10. That Garrett cell has legs. Solid up tick in CG and it's got that look like it's a little vort or something pushing it along.
  11. Long loss of power means refrigerators and food may not be kept cold. Not every school has UPS/back up generators. It's cautionary to mitigate food borne illness.
  12. Ferry Cove mesonet site gusted to 53 mph early this morning. Impressive.
  13. M49 mph wind gust Upper Marlboro mesonet site. I'm surprised it wasn't higher given the wide open nature of that location and the site's position relative to that wind core on radar. The nocturnal boundary layer has to be working overtime to mitigate gusts getting to the surface. If this were even late evening there'd be more substantial damage reports coming in.
  14. Those velocities are making a beeline to the Upper Marlboro mesonet site. That's a wide open spot so that station will get a great sample of whatever comes through.
  15. I saw that with all the respect in the world! I'm so used to us finding a way to fail at just about any sensible weather that I doubt anything is legit until it's on our doorstep.
  16. MCS running into a stationary front at night with a decent amount of elevated CAPE. Laughs nervously. . . .
  17. I could be wrong, but I don't think these storms survive into Maryland with enough strength to warrant a watch. If they were even an hour or two earlier then yes.
