  1. A whole bunch of nothing on the mesos for today's SLGT risk....
  2. HRRR has barely had anything except a couple cells scraping through the northern tier for several runs in a row now. The 3k NAM continues to be much more bullish for most of the area.
  3. First box over NC/VA posted - ours should be coming shortly
  4. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1999.html Watch Likely DISCUSSION...An upper trough/low centered over the Great Lakes/OH Valley will continue moving slowly eastward this afternoon. Modest ascent preceding this feature and low-level convergence along a surface cold front will likely foster robust convective initiation within the next 1-2 hours (by around 3 PM EDT) across parts of western/central NC into the coastal Mid-Atlantic. Strong daytime heating has already warmed surface temperatures into the upper 80s and 90s across this region. A rather moist airmass, with precipitable water values of 1.5 to 2+ inches and surface dewpoints generally in the 70s, should help offset poor mid-level lapse rates to some extent. Around 1500-3000+ J/kg of MLCAPE has already developed given the ample diurnal heating that has occurred. While weak west-southwesterly low-level winds exist, they do strengthen with height to around 45-60 kt through mid levels. Related 35-50 kt of deep-layer shear will act to organize updrafts, with a mix of bowing clusters and supercells possible. Isolated severe hail may occur with the more discrete convection that initially develops. A tendency for upscale growth into multiple clusters appears likely given the linear forcing of the front and mainly boundary-parallel flow aloft. Scattered damaging/severe wind gusts should be the main threat as this convection spreads eastward through the rest of the afternoon and evening. One or more Severe Thunderstorm Watches will likely be needed as robust convection develops over the next couple of hours.
  5. That was crazy. Was down to practically 0 vis here w strong gusts too
  6. Some impressive dry gusts in downtown Columbia from the bow to the north passing. Wonder if we’ll get this southern bow. Temp has dropped massively here already tho.
  7. Still very broad on the velocities. I’d be surprised to hear of anything otg
  8. Feels like an interesting spot to be here in Columbia. Not sure which bow to be watching for us lol
  9. Def still develops that nasty bow from the frame before this to the end of this frame and punches through the area.
  10. Also trying to set myself up for a 3:30 work departure personally - also hoping its not too late.
  11. 10z HRRR has some discretes move across Fred and Carroll Counties before this beast trudges through
