    Atmosphere isn't overturned between I-81 and I-95 and there's a couple of boundaries floating around. Might be in store for at least some elevated convection?
  2. Eskimo Joe
    Some cells firing up along the western slopes of Catoctin Mts.

    M1.25" hail Ripley, MD according to the LSR just reported by Sterling!

    Two areas of interest locally: 1.) Bay press pressed up somewhere between US 29 and I-95 west of the bay. 2.) Looks like a decent outflow boundary settling along I-66. Wonder if these serve as a focus for later in the evening?
  5. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. Surprised there isn't a downstream tornado watch for at least northern PA.

    Hahaha Yinzer Alley go brrrrr
  7. Eskimo Joe
    Wow
  8. Eskimo Joe
    Yea buddy!

    Looks like a Delmarva special today

    Ah that day was legit. I remember watching the radar and was quite impressed. That event is proof positive we can get several major tornadoes on the same day in the northeast and mid atlantic.

    You mean June 1, 2012? The moderate risk day that almost went full gang busters?

    With so many of the 12z western ROABs missing, I wonder if it's going to be a summer of short term model guidance beating mid range?

    That cluster which originated near IAD yesterday just went gangbusters as it swung through Fairfax, far southern Montgomery, DC, and Prince Georges County. There was a consistent 60-70kt wind signature for over an hour. Really impressive stuff. Looking back on it, the canary in the coal mine was probably the earlier convection near Pittsburgh going so strong.

    NOVA machine go brrrrrr

    We thank you in advance for your sacrifice.

    The Blue Angels have two upcoming shows in Maryland. Expect an increase in these activities across DC/Baltimore/Annapolis for the 250th events. https://www.blueangels.navy.mil/show/

    HRRR only has a few storms south of DC, but it aggressively mixes out the dew points too which probably is messing with things.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    Just imagine if this thing hit at 4pm with some better lapse rates and a touch more shear.

    DCA just gusted to 52 kts
  20. Eskimo Joe
    Wow healthy 60 kt core just south of DCA.

    Agree 9/10 times. IMO, this is the 1 out of 10 times I'll differ given the numerous 250 Anniversary event from Baltimore to DC. In a situation like this, it's just easier to slap down a big polygon and say "it's coming everyone".

    Two thoughts come to mind: 1.) These are machine learning/AI-influenced CAMS that don't yet have the "database" of events to properly articulate when these events die off. 2.) As we saw with April 2011 and the 2012 Derecho, mature MCS complexes persist longer than meso guidance if the downstream airmass is sufficiently unstable. However, the lack of an EML or good jet streak generally isn't enough to sustain the storms much past sunset. There is an eight part YouTube video from Rich Thompson (SPC met) speaking a Univ of Oklahoma and he talks about this extensively. I cannot find the YouTube series unfortunately.

    IAD gusted to 50 mph again. Impressive. Fairfax to DC about to get crushed.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Piccccsssss
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Yes. I have the scanner up for Frederick County, MD and they have a somewhat steady stream of wires/trees calls coming out.
