    Just going to screech in the banter thread for a moment. It's exasperating to see an sustained increase in social media weather trolling from accounts that have a sizeable following. It's either "SPC/NWS is over hyping", or "SPC/NWS is asleep at the wheel". Combined with low budget AI images, the online noise from these accounts are tiresome. Normally I'd ignore them, but we're seeing these posts leak into comment threads and email chains. It's almost becoming a full time job dampening down the silliness at work.

    Nope. Atmosphere locally is turned over and we'll have lost daytime heating by then.
  3. Eskimo Joe
    Nice little segment coming your way.
  4. Eskimo Joe
    Watch is being extended.

    Normally I'd agree with that sentiment, but we have numerous outdoor events ongoing this weekend and we're grateful for the larger polygons. It's helping our lead time and our consequence management.

    Frederick Airport gusted to 51 mph just now.
  7. Eskimo Joe
    New warning for Carroll and Baltimore counties has the considerable tag on it for 70 mph winds.
  8. Eskimo Joe
    Harney mesonet site in far NW Carroll County just gusted to 41 mph. CC: @mappy, @HighStakes, @wxmvpete, and @psuhoffman

    SPC nailed this one. Never sleep on NW flow events!

    Double yikes

    Yikes

    Interesting line about to enter the western panhandle of Maryland.
  13. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. Looks like down to I-70 to I-95.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    Yes, there definitely is a shot that something sneaks in along northeast Maryland near the Mason-Dixon Line.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. The temperature inversion was evident on the nighttime low temp map on the mesonet. Baltimore City already up to 77 degrees at 8am.

    Is there a "magic" PDO range that we want for sustained cold and/or snow during an El Nino winter? Do we even have a large enough sample size for any statistical significance?
  17. Eskimo Joe
    The two inch soil values have crashed statewide. We really need another 1"-2" of rain in the next week.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    We've worked hard the past decade to let our lawn grow longer, end bad chemical usage, and increase native plants to boost our lightning bugs.
  19. Eskimo Joe
    Man could you imagine if we got a PDO in the +0.5 - +1.0 range?
  20. Eskimo Joe
    I'll take it. June is important for crop formation. Even the afternoon storms and showers would at least keep things from sliding further into drought.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    We are so overdue for a legit, snowy and cold winter from start to finish. Bring it on. Kill the drought on Miller A at a time.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Incredible nighttime temp disparities last night. Bittinger mesonet site in Garrett County dipped to 38 degrees, while Frostburg only got down to 51. Further east, the urban heat island effect was very evident in Baltimore. Towson cooled to 50 degrees, while Baltimore City's Montebello station only drifted down to 61.

    Posts like that from CWG are disappointing. They feed a false narrative that [insert thing or secret organization here] are controlling the weather. They should know better than that.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Any cases of an emerging El Nino with a hot summer, then a cold and wet winter?
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Gotta wonder if that's the old Euro mid/long range heat bias kicking in.
