  1. Got a good thrashing with maybe 60-65 mph winds with very heavy rain. First severe event imby of the year
  2. Leesburg being tornado warned ashburn here - very dark clouds, no wind yet. Calm before the ???
  3. Seeing some weakness in the line directly to the west of me. Is this where I say uh oh, I’m about to get burned again? Then again, the shear and dynamics are so strong that it’s not remotely similar to previous setups
  4. Some mid-level cloud cover coming in. What's really interesting is the different directions mid vs. low level clouds are moving... the former is moving westerly, and the latter southerly. That's shear.
  5. Radar already showing storms congealing into a line even before crossing the blue ridge
  6. I'm looking at that same cell from my window. Cloud top height must be insane if I can see it from this far out.
  7. Cleared out here. Mostly blue skies now. Ammo is loading as I type
  8. And the UHC seems to have leveled out at 0.7. New MJJ ONI at 0.8. Models have a 1.7 peak on NDJ, but at the same time the WPAC warm pool is modeled to rewarm to +0.5 to +1. That may pull the forcing west
  9. That’s a very fast moving line. I better pick up my kid from daycare a bit earlier than usual
  10. Mostly cloudy with some blue sky in between
  11. I can’t figure it out. The central US ridge with a NE trough long wave pattern doesn’t seem to work well for us in the immediate lee of the blue ridge/cacotin mtns, but no problem for i-95 and east. And the longer our local drought goes on, the drier our BL gets (even with high dews, they could be mixing out too quickly as soon as outflow winds kick up) which temporarily suppresses lift until things move to the east where there’s more moisture fuel from wetter grounds. May change tomorrow, LWX and SPC have some really strong language about the upcoming threat. Will be tracking, but not in bated breath
  12. Same. Nothing here. Just some gusty winds. Hopefully tomorrow will be different.
  13. Pretty thick clouds but nothing on radar. I’ll gladly take a miss today if it means getting hosed down tomorrow, in the literal sense
  14. He keeps posting the same tweets to argue his points and then attacks anyone who disagrees. It’s getting old fast, and if I were a moderator, he’d be out.
  15. 0.24” last night. Ain’t much but I’ll take it
  16. Pouring here! What a pleasant surprise
  17. Yeah, I think this summer has been the haves vs have nots. Some people had their top 10-20 wettest Julys ever, others have been bone dry. I’m on the drier side with just 2.5” for July after 1” months in June and May. Very dry here.
  18. It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing heat advisories in February
  19. Have we had a nino with a split forcing scenario before?
  20. Doesn't surprise me, because these things take time. La Nina atmospheric state doesn't suddenly turn El Nino on a dime any more than an oil tanker can.
  21. July total: 2.52” High: 99.5 Low: 61.0
  22. Cool out, low 60s. Smoky skies aloft though
  23. Nice look. Worth noting 72-73 had that big snowstorm in the south (GA/SC/E NC) and near normal DJF temps. So I wouldn’t kick that analog out of bed. The MA was just unlucky that year. 1991-92 might have gotten ruined by pinatubo
