  1. Surprised that Carroll County cell near Pleasant Valley isn't warned for the wet microburst potential.
  2. Like clockwork, the convection is developing further north and east than what was progged by the guidance.
  3. This is a textbook setup for a couple of communities to get flooded out.
  4. MOD RISK WOO!!! WEDGES FOR EVERYONE! Wait. . .
  5. Big dewpoint disparity between Baltimore (low 70s) and Philadelphia (low 50s). This backdoor front might give us the lift we need to produce more widespread, efficient rain makers.
  6. Meso guidance really liking the Potomac River counties this afternoon.
  7. It's probably over for us until tropical season. We're in the summer doldrums.
  8. The lack of shear and mid level lapse rates are killers today. Otherwise there would be some true gully washers forming.
  9. Decent instability Baltimore and into Delmarva. Won't take much there to kick something off.
  10. Hopefully these clouds melt away so we can get some heat. I love hot summers.
  11. Yes. Meso guidance is pretty dry throughout the region today and tomorrow. I'd probably toss the Euro.
  12. Euro is broken...always shows big heat and big rain anymore.
  13. A cicada flew into my wife's coffee while she was on the deck this morning. She ate it and now for some reason all she can do is go BRRRRRR and flutter around the house. Send help.
  14. Our pool temp jumped 4 degrees in the past two days. Feels great.
  15. Main cell just south of Mt. Vernon getting a decent hail signature on it. Dover and ADW radar starting to pick up on it.
  16. Watch box is out: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0235.html
  17. Watch box coming for the slight risk area: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0847.html
  18. Latest update has several 40kt + pixels. Definitely warrants the SVR for wet microburst potential.
  19. Wind shift to W in Gaithersburg and out Td is falling into the mid 60s. Looks like no mas for us west of I-95.
  20. Weak mid level lapse rates will kill you every time in these parts. Couldn't maintain updrafts so it's just sporadic wind reports.
  21. Couple of cells trying to fire in Loudoun and Montgomery counties.
  22. Latest SPC meso analysis has MLCAPE up to 1,000 j/kg through DC and across US 50. A bit better than I thought it would be when I woke up this morning.
  23. The image below shows how long many hours it takes for a watch box to verify after it's issued. Note the clear correlation between watch probability in the antecedent MCD and number of watch boxes that verify within 2.5 hours of issuance. FWIW, the meso I posted above is 60%.
