Sparky Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That looks like right over Assateauge might as well say right over Ocean City. Looks like the westward jog is unfolding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 might as well say right over Ocean City. Looks like the westward jog is unfolding. Yeah doesn't look to be moving west anymore but I don't think it has to in order to bring us some good winds, even if it ended up right of Norfolk by 50+ miles we'd still be involved.

Bob Chill Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Pretty cool WV loop right now. Trough digging down into TN seems to be interacting with the western edge of the outer bands. Anyone know if this will cause extra forcing on the outer bands and enhance rainfall on the western edge of the shield? I don't think it does but I don't really know so I'm asking. Getting some gusts in the 20's now. Leaves starting to accumulate on the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 260k and growing without power in Va/Md http://www.washingto...2X1iJ_blog.html It will be interesting to see how the power situation plays out in DC metro. I would think if we get a 3 hr period with 30-40 sustained we are gonna have some serious problems as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
