  1. We're staring down another ho hum severe season. It's almost June and we've yet to have a decent event.
  2. Significant downward trend overnight. Looks like a run of the mill event now at best. This is why you wait until the day of to get invested.
  3. Strong convection, especially nocturnal, will often persist long than what the CAMs have. April 26-27, 2011 is a perfect example of this. There were supercells from Alabama that tracked into South Central PA and still dropped tornadoes along the way.
  4. The Keedysville mesonet site in Washington County, just north of Antietam Battlefield, only gusted to M36 mph just a minute ago. Pretty clear there is a surface inversion developing that is prohibiting the winds aloft from getting to the surface.
  5. Best to wait until 10 am - 12 pm tomorrow. We'll have everything lined up then. For now, I remain cautiously optimistic.
  6. 00z RAOB for IAD coming in: 2200 CAPE and LL lapse rates of -8 c/km. That Culpepper storm is going to sustain for a bit.
  7. Wonder if this line overturns all the instability tonight.
  8. Very impressive wind reports coming out with this line!
  9. Some impressive wind damage reports coming out of the mountains.
  10. Somewhat interested in tomorrow. The system coming across Missouri, Illinois, and Missouri seems energetic and is producing a decent number of tornadoes. We'll see what the visible satellite imagery tomorrow looks like.
  11. 18z HRRR seems to be pooling some low level moisture better east of I-81. Good to see.
  12. Flying from Midway to BWI this afternoon through this mess should be fun.
  13. Makes sense. Don't think a 10% is needed, but we could definitely get a 30% wind tomorrow.
  14. Bingo. Probably a decent slight or enh risk tomorrow.
  15. I hope we don't have another cold summer.
  16. Sterling has been a leader in decision support for big events. It's nice to see this and I hope it becomes a standard across the NWS.
  17. The orientation and proximity of the warm front on Monday would have me lean towards the NAM family. Definitely a decent set up for tornadoes.
  18. IMO, there are too many mesoscale features in these parts to accurately define severe weather risk beyond D2. I'll be back in Maryland Sunday afternoon and hope to see some storms next week.
  19. Count on it. I'm in Alaska until Memorial Day.
  20. NNE flow can be great this time of year.
