  1. Yeah, for sure. While I love me some severe storms, it's a fine line between a good show and property damage, insurance claims, or worse. My gut is this will be a pretty classic widespread strong/severe wind outbreak, but nothing high end and not much in the way of tornadoes.
  2. First 45% wind prob for RAH since Oct 2019, first Moderate risk for Blacksburg WFO since April 2019. I think this one deserves a thread!
  3. Enhanced risk for most tommorow, primarily wind driven. Since the enhanced category was introduced in 2015, RAH hasn't been under one during the month of August
  4. Although it's disappointing that the mountains will prevent more significant rainfall today, it's nice to see a forecast high in the 70s. This brings to an end a 42 day streak of highs at 80 or higher, which is fairly close to the average for the longest stretch of the year
  5. True, although water temps still certainly a limiting factor, even with such crazy anomalies.
  6. On the plus side, we are now more than halfway through the hottest 90 days of the year. Also...a slow decline towards the winter solstice.
  7. It did some restructuring and now it has a double eyewall that it will likely maintain through landfall. Pretty neat stuff!
  8. I nominate this one for strangest looking cyclone of the year
  9. https://mrcc.purdue.edu/gismaps/cntytorn# Seems to be the first time (unless maybe that fishy looking one right on the border)
  10. From the live stream survey cam
  11. Fortunately it mostly passed through farmland. Brattleboro (population ~500) may have taken a direct hit though.
  12. Also...a friendly reminder to change out your HVAC filters. They're probably pretty gross!
  13. I was surprised to wake up to a very smokey morning. Definitely one of the smokiest days yet, and the HRRR seems to back this up. Is anyone in Georgia experiencing particularly dense smoke?
  14. I count only three - Ruth (1965), Winona (1989), & Ruth (1994). This is counting storms that passed within 100 miles of HI, & is inexact based on the crossover longitude as the NOAA doesn't display them. Winona is perhaps the most impressive in that it formed East of Hawaii and struck the Philippines as a tropical depression.
  15. I'll just say, I wouldn't be standing that close
  16. Pretty awesome outflow boundary!
  17. Sunday looking not only hot but also sticky. A rude awakening from a nice start to summer
  18. I was just looking at this! These things are so hard to predict. They almost always fizzle once they hit the mountains and we get the scraps. But we are in an interesting spot just on the northern edge of the heat dome.
  19. Another way to measure our cool start to the warm months:
