    Pyranometer cable was/went bad. We're thinking that when it rained last night water got into the cable somehow and was either shorting it or causing a ton of noise on the rail. Our tech went up and replaced the cable and everything came back as normal.

    You absolutely nerd sniped me. Here's how many hours a wind gust has been recorded at a Maryland Mesonet station over a certain value so far this month. Most of the state has had gusts>= 30 mph at least 5-10% of the time this month.

    Finally. A good hard rain.

    The 3km NAM seems to promote the idea of the convergence boundary storms producing strong cold pools which moves the convergence boundary eastward. Which, is definitely a possibility. Edit: Strong cold pools would limit the tornado threat save minor QLCS kinks on the front end.

    The 'line' that's sitting out in the Allegheny Front is actually a convergence boundary that is taking advantage of the upslope topography. There isn't a synoptic impetus to move it off until the actual cold front arrives, which is still back in Ohio.

    The wind profile / hodograph dictates that isolated supercells would be the dominant mode of producing tornadoes. There doesn't seem to be much appetite from CAM's to pop cells in the open warm sector despite temperatures nearing / at convective temperature. Best bet is perhaps if the main line downscales into more isolated segments, and end up with a QLCS type threat.

    All the dynamic parameters are screaming tornado potential. The thermo's are a bit lacking but if we get some sunshine.... All we need is storm mode. I mean... this is damn good looking (boxed average for MoCo/Howard/Frederick/Caroll

    This is amazing. I've missed this community when I was away.

    C+ MD/PA line B- at I-70 B between I-70 and US50 B+ US50 and south Lower eastern shore I'd call this an A- season. Overall B for Garrett County / WV Highlands.

    If you are in the lower elevations near the choptank or you are surrounded by fields you could make up that 3F easy with just radiational cooling.

    This back door font originating air mass is so dry that while it's temperature was modified by the sea, the dew point was not raised high enough to condense into the normal back-door effect.

    I got a tiny burn on my neck but I had that sweatshirt on, had nothing else. First burn of the season! Station coming "online" later today!

    Fresh (ie. still fluffy) snow is way more effective at longwave radiation emission than hardpack snow.

    Even if Feb is normal, we would still be way below normal for DJF.

    The dew points would indicate most of the area above the fall line could get to zero by morning if you have good snow cover.
