  1. Latest HRRR (12z) run in progress has some pop up storms for the I-95 corridor around 19-20z and then a big line coming through later.
  2. LWX is very bullish it seems for Tuesday. SPC is less enthused. But that's not a concern...I just went back for nostalgia and was re-reading outlooks leading up to the June 2012 derecho and we weren't even in a risk from long leads.
  3. SLGT risk for tomorrow now - SPC indicates supercell development possible.
  4. Of note - the 12z CIPS analogs have a big signature for severe potential at the hour 132 mark
  5. STALKER I honestly wouldn't have recognized my building from a panoramic photo with that lighting. I would have killed to watch the storm from my building...work sucks
  6. I have no opinion yet. But it's been there a bit off and on - on the guidance. Wouldn't expect anything like today at this range.
  7. Don't get me wrong - June and July can still be fierce...but the fail potential is a lot higher. We tend to do pulse severe (isolated) in later June and July. The time of year we are in right now is great for severe if we can get the stars to align. We still benefit I guess from shorter wavelengths and somewhat more potent low pressure systems. Absolutely NO scientific backing here - but after today I feel pretty good about some good chances at severe as we head towards summer. Now if only we can track some Mid-Atlantic tropical trouble in fall. Add a decent December snow and we'll have had it all
  8. 100% agree. There were definitely similarities. That one was (as you said) way more intense/widespread but this one definitely had shades of that. That one (rightfully) was a moderate risk in our area.
  9. The one thing about earlier season events is they can have a lot more shear to work with.
  10. Yeah - I mean beyond the two wind cores (Columbia and Downtown DC) this wasn't a widespread derecho-style damaging wind event. Nonetheless, it definitely wasn't as meager as it could have been. Really decent event considering the bust potential. SPC was a bit too north with their enhanced perhaps. Great work by them though maintaining the 30% wind when they could have dialed it back to 15%. This event was a "win" - glad there were no injuries in the Columbia house.
  11. Heard on the news the storm survey team will be out there.
  12. Almost looks like serial bow echos (not using the D-word as it doesn't meet the criteria) - but with the Columbia bow and now the DC one. Cool radar signature.
  13. This is going to stabilize us pretty good. HRRR says nothing after. Which is fine by me - this was a GREAT event for our area.
  14. It BLEW up once it hit the instability tongue. Good shear, halfway decent lapse rates - What a day. This is going to go down as one of the better events in recent memory. Lots of damage reports into EOC?
  15. I'd say based on the number of damage reports, this is going to be a verified ENH. A bit south of where the main area was outlooked. Any ground truth from Columbia?
  16. This is reminiscent of the "classic" solid lines of storms that some of us have discussed as being less common than in the 90s and earlier 2000s.
  17. UMD did something similar a few years back. Turns out they didn't use NWS warnings but used the Accuweather service instead.
  18. Well..if that was a TOR on the ground it went right over my apartment
  19. Howard County cell might have 80mph winds with it based on velocity. Looks like easily 65mph+ based on velocity.
  20. Howard County is getting pounded according to radar. I'm seeing sime 60kt+ readings.
