  1. SVR for Frederick / Carroll MD for possible TOR / wind.
  2. Red Box until 07:00z monday: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0067.html
  3. I guess there's your 3 discrete cells with the first round. One near CHO, one to the east near Scottsville, the third further east just west of Chesterfield.
  4. We're a bit more unstable than I thought. Still not the greatest setup, but the risk for a quick QLCS spin-up is there per SPC meso:
  5. FYI, if you GR radar program isn't showing warnings correctly, it's because v2.8 was released on March 20th. You'll have to re-download the program from the website www (dot) grlevelx (dot) com.
  6. From a SVR / TOR "climo" from LWX we're actually running pretty quiet so far this year. According to the IEMDataPlot, only 8 SVR and 0 TOR issued by LWX and by now you'd typically see a dozen SVRs and a half dozen TORs issued.
  7. Forecasting severe weather for the Mid Atlantic, Carolinas and Northeast is far more difficult than other parts of the county. You have terrain, cold air damming, marine influences and dense urban populations all within miles of each other. There is no doubt the skill set that resides in Norman, OK is tremendous but SPC seems to bust too many times in this neck of the woods. I've always been a bearish, conservative forecaster and it seems to work out to under forecast severe weather in these parts.
  8. This has not been a well forecasted event from the start.
  9. There are, on average, less than 3 D1 ENH risk per year in any point in LWXs forecast area and less than 1 D1 MOD risk.
  10. Once you land you'll be fine. I83 will give you more headaches than tonights weather.
  11. I could go for a March '93 about 75 miles east of the old track.
  12. So many temp forecasts are going to bust. Yesterday NBC4 and News Channel 8 were giddy about spiking into the low 50s today. For that to verify we're going to have to get to full sun soon.
  13. How much do you have on the ground? North of I-70 I'd agree with you that you peak in the low to maybe mid 40s. DCA might somehow magically torch..lol.
  14. Meh it's not surprising. Anybody who believed that we'd be in the 50s today is a fool.
  15. Yup...you want about 0.05" to maybe 0.1" per hour rates otherwise it's just cold rain.
  16. Looks like a light ZR / mist now in Reisterstown. Hope we turn into an ice palace.
  17. Yea it was a 2 or 3 hour bang then a lotta nothing. 2nd half really underwhelming.
  18. Looks to be. HM posted on twitter how some NVA on the northern edge of the MO/MS moisture plume was robbing a lot of the precip in N. MD...maybe we pick stuff back up later? This lull is sort of a let down.
