Ian Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I was serious, Tor outbreak and your thread was dead. Sub forums FTL it wasnt dead per se but not amazingly active. i was covering capital weather so i didnt really have time to post here much. plus the main show was c va and south and those guys don't often post in the main threads anyway for some reason. but yeah, subforums ftl.

It would be cool if there was some sort of "hot topics" section up top or on the right margin where mods could promote certain threads so they could be seen board-wide. I know that I've missed out on weather events because I'm linked straight to the Mid Atlantic board. I go and check W&F most of the time, and Central/Western some, but not the other boards. And "View New Content" is cluttered with the OT threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Outbreak? I call shenanigans on the use of that term with respect to what spun up last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Outbreak? I call shenanigans on the use of that term with respect to what spun up last week. 7 tornadoes.. not bad for this area http://blogs.fredericksburg.com/staffordnews/2011/10/17/seven-tornadoes-confirmed-in-virginia/ http://www.erh.noaa.gov/akq/wx_events/severe/oct_13_2011/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool if we could go back to the way that it used to be with one main forum and regional threads. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dead? I thought it was busy, we had people from another subforums in here posting! That has to count for something! Considering there were no real indications a day or 2 in advance it was busy to some extent. If we were in a slight to mod spc risk a day or 2 in advance then the thread would have been smoking. Since it was pretty much a surprise event, the thread was reactionary moreso than proactionary. jmho. Calling it a fail isn't really fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were people posting but it also hit around rush hour and that also may have kept some from commenting until later In retrospect probably should have had more pre show attention. Pretty classic trough location mixed with extra vorticity from a remnant pseudo tropical low. October is tricky tho. Plus we get tornadoes all the time these days.. NBD.

Ian Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 trough is getting closer to another tornado favorable one for wed. that plus a brief surge of dews to 60 or so. right now it looks like it would favor east -- tho maybe 95 is an OK line/there south and east. se va/eastern nc actually looks pretty solidly impressive for this range. wildcard is extent of coastal cyclogenesis i suppose, at least up this far north.

wxmeddler Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Becoming more and more convinced that these two systems aren't going to fully get together and were going to be dry slotted rather quickly by the closing off H5 low. If we want somthing big to happen, that system in FL needs to get going and fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like DC could be wedged in with ne winds, so might be tough. Maybe along the MD shore, has better potential. However, one last hurrah after 00z tomorrow night with the forcing from the s/w??
