  1. I could go out in a flaming dumpster fire - but the TOR warned cell in extreme SW WV is what I am watching despite the modeling focusing north of us. If that can sustain despite the guidance, and perhaps get enhancement from the proximity of the boundary - that could be for us later.
  2. The various models seem to kill that activity entering WV - but I could see a scenario in which they are overplaying the death of that complex, and in reality that stuff rejuvenates off the higher terrain to give us a cluster. Would not be the first time the modeling developed a "new" cluster that ended up being actual remnants or an existing cluster.
  3. HRRR continues to suggest that *IF* there is a chance - it's going to be between 0z and 3z in a little cluster that comes through. It seems to be weakening as it comes through on the latest run - but while it is well west of the area it has some decent UH tracks.
  4. While MLLR aren't "good" - they also aren't as paltry as some of our other events.
  5. 15z HRRR sends a nice cluster through after 0z. Funny because HRRR tends to undergo storms (at least previously when it would have dews too low)
  6. PWS is reporting 66.4 on the temp and 65.8 on the dew point. Pretty saturated surface airmass! And soupy for this time of year! Other than storm fuel - really not looking forward to 70+ dew point season.
  7. CAPE inching upward in a little "tongue" where the front may have cleared. Nearly touching Southern Maryland.
  8. It's seems like one of those weird conditional severe days where coverage is low, and who knows if we'll even see any storms pop during peak time - but if one goes up it could really dominate even if isolated.
  9. I'm pretty close to calling you out as a meteorology AI robot. You always have superb explanations and insight. We're watching you though....robot.
  10. It was pretty darn misty and damp out there this morning on the way to work. I'm closer to meh-ing than I am to "woo storms-ing" lol
  11. Goes north of me but that HRRR run looks pretty good for storms.
  12. 18z NAM and NAM nest continue with the theme of no initiation/storms for Thur. Parameters look a bit worse than prior runs as well. Still worth watching.
  13. And my excuse of "it's still early in the season" gets less relevant each passing day. By April, we often have much better thermodynamic profiles - though May/June would be even better. Though that admittedly won't solve mid-level lapse rates! I will say - yesterday ahead of the storms did feel juicier than the prior few events this year so far. So we are "getting there" in terms of better dew points and temps. One thing I do like is that we haven't had a shortage of "chances" this year so far. While there has sometimes been a week+ between risks, there's been a pretty steady stream of at least potential systems showing up. Thursday has my interest at least for now.
  14. NAM and NAM nest seem better with parameters for Thursday now - but sim reflectivity doesn't really have any initiation at least on the panels I've seen (through 0z Fri).
  15. TBWI shows outflow moving out ahead of the storms.
  16. One nice thing is that the Warn on Forecast domain includes us. More model runs to wring our hands over!!!
  17. Well if nothing else the 12z IAD sounding has 754 surface CAPE already. Seems likely many of us will see rain/thunder at a minimum today. Side note - it's weird seeing the swath of missing soundings.
  18. 1730z D2 is out. Not many changes.
  19. Instability for next Monday improved on the Euro it seems. Timing also seems to look a bit better on the GFS.
  20. They are just so unusual and finicky - and they often are super cagey at range. And the best we can *usually* hope for is a modified EML that loses a lot of punch as it gets to use. The "big events" are the ones that really have a robust one. I haven't done a deep dive - but I'm guessing June 2008 had one, we all know June 2012 had one. Minus an EML - tropical action going to our west is always a good bet for tornadoes.
  21. Way out there of course - but the 12z GFS pushes the system through too early in the day I think,
  22. It could be July/August and we'd find a way to cloud over just in time to squash instability
