  1. @Eskimo Joe - Not that it will alleviate your concerns of being shafted - but some models even focus a chunk of the activity NE of DC. HREF updraft helicity seems to show this. Some of the modeling seems to indicate there may be a dead-zone between a batch to the NE and a batch to the S. That could also be a failure mode for us locally...
  2. Always a risk! However, I'm cautiously optimistic that there aren't a ton of models (at least for now) that skunk big chunks of the area. A few DO favor south - but even those blow up good activity over the DC/Baltimore metros.
  3. I know sim reflectivity is not the and-all-be-all...BUT - I've got to say that the guidance is now pretty consistently spitting out sim reflectivity panels that are the most impressive I've seen for this area in some time. Not this weak sauce isolated crap or a weak line...this looks like an actual threat if things come together correctly.
  4. Liking the looks of many of the CAMs - but they are all still at range. Will be interesting to see how the modeling trends tomorrow.
  5. TDCA and TADW should be up
  6. Look at this from the 6z Euro for 3z on Monday evening.
  7. Unfortunately these days it feels like marginal is the new general thunder, slight is the new SEE TEXT and so forth. I honestly think we will see even fewer moderate risk days in our region with the introduction of the enhanced category.
  8. Here's a screenshot of part of the wind profile from a 12z NAM nest sounding for Monday afternoon - SRH has increased on modeling too it seems.
  9. 12z NAM (12km) has some beefy soundings in the area for Monday. Timing (at least for now) looks good - I'm onboard (for now)
  10. From a superstitious weenie standpoint...I'll take it. Last thing we need is a D3 slight or enhanced going to crap.
  11. 12z CIPS run roundup - At the 84hr timeslot, on the domain/sector that is most aligned with our area, most analogs don't have much for our area. Last analog #15 is June 1/2, 2012. If you use the box that is still relevant to us but a little further west, that June 1/2, 2012 analog goes to #12. A few analogs on there as well that got us some severe. Hour 108 has July 23, 2008 (will have to look that up) and a bunch of more toned down events. Interestingly - there's a few analogs that were seemingly minor events but centered on or near the Mid-Atlantic.
  12. A rumble of thunder or two here - heavy rain now in Colesville, MD
  13. I'm going to sound like a broken record - but we have tossed around this discussion in the past - anecdotally I remember a lot more "solid squall lines" in the 90s and earlier 2000s and severe events since then have seemed to be more shorter line segments or more spotty. Interesting that some of the analogs have had a lot of 1990s events in the mix - and that looks like a pretty long/solid line portrayed on the GFS. Again - just me with my pointless musings.
  14. 12z GFS suggests best mid-level lapse rates go mostly south of DC. But sim reflectivity panels still look excellent - damn impressive for a model that isn't the short range/higher res stuff
  15. Thinking like you is either a really good sign (weather smarts) or a really bad sign (total weather cynic). It's definitely not as prolific as June 2006 - but just how the "band" of precip is moving - almost the anniversary too!
  16. I just pulled up the radar from June 26, 2006 - nowhere near as widespread (I figured) but again - it's a loose match.
  17. Not saying it will be anything close to (it won't be) this event - but the radar at this moment reminds me a bit of June 2006...downpours lining up on a SSW-->NNE trajectory.
  18. Latest GFS runs have backed off a bit on the quality of the remnant EML. That said - we do have a Day 4 15% outlook area from SPC for portion of the region.
  19. Impressive sim reflectivity signal on the 18z GFS for Monday afternoon/evening.
  20. 12z CIPS guidance has decent severe signal at 84, 108 AND 132. Best threat window we've had all year. June 4, 2008 is now the top analog on the 84hr frame! (for our domain/sector) June 1, 2012 is showing up in the analog mix at the 108hr mark as well - though not one of the higher analogs.
  21. The CIPS analogs from the 0z suite had some decent ones mixed in. I saw June 4, 2008 lol
  22. You're in here talking dirty to the severe weenies... Paging @Eskimo Joe - get us an EML and we can be sub-par on some other factors and still perform.
  23. CIPS had a decent severe potential signal on the 168hr frame on the 0z suite.
  24. I might be misremembering - but I think the last time LWX was down for either part of SLEP or a major failure - we all thought it was going to be like a 10 day outage and it was back up on like the 6th day or something.
