Kmlwx Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Actually some decent activity showing up on radar in WV heading east. Doesn't look to shabby for Feb. 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm reconsidering chase potential... if not IMBY then I would have to quickly head into NE MD and points N/E. NMM showing good thunderstorm development just N of BWI at 3pm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 What are your thoughts on the WV activity? Is that ours for later? Storms will probably weaken a bit as they head over the mountains... not sure if what's there will stay together, but redevelopment/initiation should start in the early afternoon in our area and points east.

FrederickWX Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks Mark. I drive a little Kia, very light and gets blown around pretty easily. If you were driving east, you could just attach a big sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 it is a pretty nice looking warm sector tho very short time to really destabilize. one of my errors was assuming the front would speed up over the course of a few days out but it seems to have slowed down instead. seems usually things come in faster than modeled. Looks to me like things are mostly getting sheared apart so far but we'll see how it goes coming out of the hills. Maybe mapgirl can get a torn warn for her contest prize.

yoda Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Nice to see the sun out in full force with a few clouds... if we can get 2-4 hrs of it... maybe some good storms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Some nice clearing W of the crap the coastal areas are under right now... Temps quickly jumping into the upper 50s and lower 60s in the sunshine. What an awesome shot -- I'm currently watching the back-end of that clearing edge of clouds head across the Potomac, about 2 miles E of MBY. Sun came out about 30 minutes ago, temps have shot up dramatically in last hour from high 40s to current reading of 61. Winds picking up, too, about 5-10 mph...

Ellinwood Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Nice to see the sun out in full force with a few clouds... if we can get 2-4 hrs of it... maybe some good storms? It will have a hard time initiating until we hit peak heating early/mid afternoon. I wouldn't expect good storms to get going (if there are any good storms) until 3:00 or later, by which time the front will be in the DC area (just W or just E... not sure).
