And i guess this is in response to the STQ above? It's named FWS (Suppression Forecast) and was issued at 10:25pm

@high risk @WxUSAF @MN Transplant or any other person who knows... what is an STQ? It says its a spot forecast request... it appeared on the drop-down menu at 10:21pm. What are the basically used for? https://www.weather.gov/lwx/ Click text product selector beneath the radar image... when i click on it this pops up

Pretty cool to see on radarscope... from W DC into N VA

70mph wind gust reported by mesonet in Gaithersburg, MD 68mph wind gust reported by mesonet 2 N Germantown, MD

Kinda surprised that those two storms out west are not severe warned... have pretty decent hail cores on them per radarscope

So no sprinklers this evening?

Maybe a lil something this afternoon from DC south? Morning AFD from LWX seems to think so:

Day 3 disco

New Day 3 from SPC heard about this thread and stopped the SLGT risk right at the border for SNE SLGT risk is in SE NY... but as soon as the border to MA and CT came, straight to MRGL to troll @weatherwiz

Didn't know that the Euro model had this... bolded part is what I'm talking about... from this afternoon's AFD from LWX:

Tropical Storm Dolly Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042020 500 PM AST Tue Jun 23 2020 Dolly's structure has continued to improve somewhat during the day with convective banding now extending around the eastern and northern side of the circulation. While water vapor imagery indicates that an upper-level low is still in the vicinity of Dolly, that feature is displaced from the cyclone a bit, with some anticyclonic outflow noted in the cirrus canopy. This structure further supports the analysis of Dolly's transition to a tropical storm. For intensity, there is a wide range among satellite estimates, with TAFB and SAB ranging from 25-35 kt and UW-CIMSS ADT and SATCON estimates between 45-50 kt. The initial intensity will remain 40 kt on this advisory, matching what was shown by the earlier scatterometer data. Dolly continues to move east-northeastward with an initial motion of 060/10 kt. Strengthening mid-latitude southwesterly flow is expected to cause Dolly to turn northeastward and begin accelerating tonight into Wednesday, and the track guidance is in good agreement on the future path and speed of the storm. Dolly's future track will take it over much colder waters and into a higher-shear environment over the next day or so, which should cause the cyclone to degenerate into a remnant low on Wednesday. Dissipation is still shown at 48 hours, but global models fields indicate that the circulation could open up before then as the system nears the southeastern tip of Newfoundland.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dolly was located near latitude 40.1 North, longitude 61.1 West. Dolly is moving toward the east-northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn toward the northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected tonight and on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast as Dolly moves over colder waters, and the system is expected to become post-tropical on Wednesday. The remnant low should then dissipate by early Thursday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) to the south of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None.

I can see distant lightning from the storms in C MD looks like from here in Springfield, VA It's likely either the storms out north of Leesburg that are in MD or the storms west of Middleburg in extreme western Loudoun County

Gone in the next 60 to 72 hours... still a slight chance to get named Subtropical Depression Four Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042020 1100 PM AST Mon Jun 22 2020 The cyclone has little or no deep convection near its center, and remains situated beneath an upper-level low. Therefore, the system is still a subtropical cyclone and the intensity is kept at 30 kt in agreement with the most recent satellite classification from TAFB. The 30-kt intensity was also supported by recent scatterometer data. There is a small window of opportunity for strengthening since the system should remain over a relatively warm Gulf Stream eddy for 12 hours or so. Thereafter, a weakening trend is expected to begin and the system should make the transition to an extratropical cyclone over cooler waters in 36 hours or sooner. The global models indicate that the system should open up into a trough in a couple of days so the official forecast shows dissipation by 72 hours. It would not be surprising if the system meets its demise sooner than that. The official intensity forecast is similar to the latest decay-SHIPS guidance. The motion continues east-northeastward, or 060/9 kt. Over the next few days, the cyclone should remain embedded in a branch of west-southwesterlies that is split off from the main mid-latitude flow. There is good agreement in the track guidance that the system will turn northeastward with some acceleration during the next 48-60 hours. The official track forecast is similar to the previous one, and is also close to the dynamical model consensus.

Subtropical Depression Four Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042020 500 PM AST Mon Jun 22 2020 The non-tropical low pressure system that the National Hurricane Center has been following for the past couple of days off of the U.S. east coast has developed enough organized convection near the center to be classified as subtropical depression. The subtropical status is due to the low-level circulation center being co-located beneath an upper-level cold low as seen in water vapor imagery. The initial intensity of 30 kt is based on earlier ASCAT wind data indicating numerous surface wind vectors of 26-28 kt in the southern semicircle, along with a TAFB subtropical satellite classification of ST1.5/25-30 kt. The initial motion estimate is 075/08 kt. Subtropical Depression Four is located north of a deep-layer ridge and is being influenced by weak westerly mid- to upper-level flow. The cyclone is forecast by all of the global and regional models to move east-northeastward tonight and then turn northeastward on Tuesday. A northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected Tuesday night through Thursday when the system is forecast to be located over the cold waters of the far north Atlantic. The cyclone should be absorbed by a larger extratropical low or dissipate on Thursday. The NHC track forecast is close to a blend of the simple consensus aids TVCN and GFEX and the NOAA-HCCA corrected consensus. The cyclone is beginning to move over a ridge of higher SSTs of 26.0-26.5 deg C in the northern extent of the Gulf Stream. The forecast track takes the subtropical depression down the length of the axis of warmer water during the next 12-18 h, so there is the potential for the cyclone to become a subtropical storm during that time, especially given the large pool of cold air aloft, with 200-mb temperatures of near -58 deg C and 500-mb temperatures of about -10 deg C which is creating a lot of instability. After the system moves off of the warm ridge and into sharply cooler water around 36 hours or so, gradual weakening is expected, with transition to an extratropical cyclone forecast by 48 hours. The NHC intensity forecast closely follows a blend of the consensus models ICON, IVCN, and HCCA.

Not even outlooked for Tuesday per new SPC OTLK for day 2... so I guess there is a disconnect there 0/5/5 for Day 1 0600 SPC OTLK

I was about to ask why no one posted about the AFD lol

Better turn on the sprinklers

Pouring here now with some t&l

Pretty decent storm just north of Manassas heading north into western Fairfax county per radarscope... can hear the thunder here

It's not as above normal as say the areas around the lower Carribbean or just off SE coast... besides the small area near the Big Bend of FL

Yes, Game 1 was rescheduled for the next day -- from October 9th to October 10th https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_World_Series
