  1. HRRR and NAM insistent on dropping an MCS or something like it through Delmarva and east of US 15 around morning Thursday.
  2. Yea I thought something might have been off but my Tempest and NWS thermometer for my CWOP station read 94 and 93.7 respectively so it's gotta be legit.
  3. High of 94 today, then the bay breeze kicked in and were at a rather pleasant 88 degrees.
  4. Good animation of how we aren't in a favorable setup for a big MCS or derecho with this pattern. The ridge axis is too far west. We need the ridge to set up shop over western or central Kentucky for things to work out here:
  5. Without a stout EML and solid cold pool to maintain continuous forward momentum, it's almost impossible to sustain an MCS or derecho over the mountains.
  6. Stick a fork in it for any decent action in MD tomorrow.
  7. Pretty clear surface boundary pushed along I-270 from that warned cell in Montgomery.
  8. I can't wait for the heat. My tomatoes aren't liking this cool weather.
  9. Looks like we may get hot soon:
  10. Depending on the storm motion, this could turn into a flash flood event if the book ends of the vortex setup a training event. Similar to the July, 2019 event. That was an interesting day. Early morning MCS blew through then left a boundary for an afternoon long track EF-0 tornado. Was my first damage assessment for a tornado.
  11. Folks, the 2012 Derecho was the example of the high end potential in these parts. The AFD written just before the event showed the 860 temps were +24 on the 00z IAD RAOB, an event that only occurred 6 times in the 52 years of IAD sounding history. There is absolutely no way we even come close to that potential tomorrow. Best case scenario is a solid MCS with elevated convection and very vivid lightning.
  12. Tomorrow looks like one of those days where you get two rogue supercells drifting through the area and they get warned with no watch box so it catches people by surprise.
  13. Yea that's nice. This is a setup that I'm not going to kick out of bed.
  14. //time sensitive// Check out the left moving low topped supercell in Garrett County going clank clank into the Laurel Highlands. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Virginia-comp_radar-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined
  15. /Mid Atlantic Severe In all honesty, if you take a look at the 0.5 degree reflectivity and velocity in the hour leading up to this event, you'll notice two or three subtle boundaries across Charles, Montgomery, Howard, and Calvert counties. Might have been enough to touch things off tonight.
  16. Might (probably) warned off BWI terminal. Just saw an LSR come out of a tree on a house in that area.
  17. Cell near LaPlata is starting to get "the look".
  18. M0.2" Reisterstown from yesterday's rain. Very light, dodged the heavier cells in the evening. Still, the lawn rejoices.
