  1. Yea me too. I wonder if that's to account for forward propagation along the outflow boundaries?
  2. Tower shooting up near Winfield and Libertytown...just saw two nice bolts of CG.
  3. Nice little outflow boundary just moved through. Then it got dead silent again.
  4. Just warned for Frederick, Loudoun and Montgomery Counties until 9:15 pm: https://inws.ncep.noaa.gov/a/a.php?i=37857685
  5. It's riding an outflow boundary probably won't last another 30 min, but yea I can see the lightning from New Windsor.
  6. you might want to email [email protected] and let them know. They've been issuing warnings in areas with few people so the information will help with their warning verification.
  7. The 97 degree reading at Westminster doesn't seems to weird now:
  8. 97 at Westminster and at least 96 at DCA.
  9. SVR now on the Baltimore City cell.
  10. We really could use a 1 - 3" all day soaking rain. We're edging pretty quickly toward D0 / D1 status.
  11. I can see that storm from New Windsor. Pretty robust CAPE today, but the lack of a organized impulse and shear will mean it's all about mesoscale features for initiation.
  12. Yup...big CU field in western Carroll County today. Classic sign of a humid airmass.
  13. Goes to show you how dead this summer has been that we're talking about a snow event from almost 3 years ago in August...lol Yes the lead up to the event was good. That was the last time a blizzard watch will ever be issued from LWX since the product was discontinued. If you were in the usual snow favored spots of our area it was a solid event, especially up towards Frederick and Washington counties.
  14. Yea that storm was a bust really east of I-95. Really was a shame that it melted off so damn fast.
  15. ^dews should mix out a bit today, but still mid 70s in mid-august is a tad humid. Hoping to get a good storm today for the garden,
  16. 12/8/2013 from Harpers Ferry, WV to Philly.
  17. Yup there's nothing better than going to bed expecting nothing and then you get awoken by that early brightening of the skies and looking out to see everything covered with a surprise 5" of snow. Then you go downstairs, flip on the NOAA Weather Radio and hear those three amazing words "Winter Storm Warning". You get excited as the message reads out on the automated voice with words like "through late tonight" and "drifts exceeding two feet". Those are amazing events.
  18. It looks like a legit right moving, low topped supercell. Even the 0.5° BV has 50Kt winds right off the deck. Impressive.
  19. Probably a nice shelf cloud starting to develop from that storm.
  20. That's a legit little cell in Loudoun...probably riding the terrain and some differential heating boundary. Seems like there's more clearing over NOVA than the MD side of the Potomac.
  21. Looks like parts of the region just got upgraded to a D1 SLGT
  22. I think with the advances of short term guidance I really think the days of a big storm totally sneaking up on us are just about over. Just IMO, the 2000 and 2011 events were back before we really made the leap on the HRRR, etc.
