    Great question. Mesonets are actually hard to design and implement. There are many moving parts and startup funds are often difficult to come by. In Maryland we benefit from having a science minded electorate and state legislature, as well as small number of counties. This results in a project getting off the ground quickly. As for other networks, Wisconsin is building out their mesonet pretty quickly, and Pennsylvania has their first 8 sites going in the ground this summer. I've heard several rumors that Maine is starting one up, but I can't find any official source on that.

    Happy Sunday. We got another station online.

    Hey Baltimore metro folks!
  4. Eskimo Joe
    No significant impacts in Maryland from a nearby TC or TC remnants.

    $20 says we get nada this year

    Man the CAMs have blown chunks the past week.

    Watching this weekend from sunny San Diego. Enjoy the derecho and tornado swarm!

    Naw i just want rain. Only M0.15" overnight.
  9. Eskimo Joe
    Fairfax getting rocked. Legit 50 - 60 kt cores showing up just off the surface.

    Leesburg gusted to 43 mph.
  12. Eskimo Joe
    M40 mph wind gust at the Keedysville mesonet site.

    The 00z balloon from IAD shows only 600 j/kg of SBCAPE. This is in no way a "classic" severe weather sounding.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    Still about 1,000 j/kg of DCAPE. Maybe we get a few wind reports. Watch seems justified, iMO.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch coming until midnight.
  16. Eskimo Joe
    Front Royal just gusted to 47 kts.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    Agreed. I just want a steady, soaking rain over several hours.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    Looks like the only chance for rain in the metro is that cluster coming out of West Virginia.
  19. Eskimo Joe
    Same. I'm legit worried we get a dry frontal passage. It looks like the CAMs absolutely blew chunks on this entire setup.

    Pity meso for DC and points northeast https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1429.html
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Looks like our shot at storms is starting to take shape over Central West Virginia.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    lol...are BWI and DCA going to hit 100° today?
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Looks like upstate PA is the place to be. Euro is pretty dry in these parts for the evening.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    The aggressive CAMs appear to have some sort of Round 1 initiation along I-81 around 3:30 pm. That's my benchmark to see how things are breaking today. If we get to say 4:30 and there's nada, then we can probably expect a benign evening.

    HRRR overmixing bias strikes again. It's also too low on the CAPE as well. Looks like a outlier.
