usedtobe Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Had a little T&L with the shower that just passed over me around 5:45 on the way into work Got up to go fishing and then looked at radar. Now I'm waiting for the showers to move through before leaving for the Potomac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 0.23" from the storm last night. The heavy/severe stuff went by to the north. It will be interesting to see what rainfall amounts came out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Got up to go fishing and then looked at radar. Now I'm waiting for the showers to move through before leaving for the Potomac. Rain makes the fishing better. Lightning makes it exciting. Good luck. Never fished there. I'm guessing you're below the fall line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes, you could have slept in until 8 and just gone to the Giant for your fish probably wouldn't have to wait as long either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 A few of the local models appear to suggest a complex moving in from the NW (PA) SE into the LWX area after midnight... its weakening, but still might pack a lil punch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Isn't today the first day this year we have been in a SLGT risk for severe storms? Using the Day 1 1630z update, 2/24 had DC on the northern edge, 3/28 had the DC region in one. Southern VA has had a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Radar of the storms popping up overhead: was that a front that came through last night? I noticed my temperature and dewpoint jumped a quick 3 degrees around that time the line formed and then fell again. Seemed most other obs don't show this jump except DCA. http://www.wundergro...p?ID=KMDFREDE26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Meso discussion for VA: http://www.spc.noaa..../md/md0659.html DISCUSSION...EARLY MORNING INVERSION HAS QUICKLY MIXED OUT ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. AS A RESULT...TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY CLIMBED INTO THE 80S WITH SURFACE OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATING MLCAPE VALUES AOA 1000 J/KG. LATEST WV IMAGERY DEPICTS A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF WV. THIS DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO INITIATE CONVECTION ALONG AND EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS. DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND AMPLE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD CONTINUE TO WARM/DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP SHOULD MOVE EWD INTO AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR SOME HAIL/STRONG WINDS. LIMITING FACTORS INCLUDE WEAK SHEAR /0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AOB 30 KTS/ AND SYNOPTIC SCALE HEIGHT RISES IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED RIDGING OVER THE AREA. SHEAR IS SLIGHTLY BETTER ACROSS PORTIONS OF CNTRL/ERN VA...WHICH SUGGESTS A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR UPDRAFT ORGANIZATION/PERSISTENCE IS THESE AREAS. HOWEVER... INSTABILITY IS WEAKER. REGARDLESS...MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH AT LEAST AN ISOLATED HAIL/WIND THREAT ARE ANTICIPATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISCUSSION...ALONG/SOUTHWEST OF A WARM FRONT...VISIBLE SATELLITE TRENDS REFLECT SOME INCREASE IN THE CU FIELD OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS ESPECIALLY ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN PA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF WESTERN MD/WV PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN VA...WITH A FEW TSTMS AS OF 21Z. ADDITIONALLY...WHILE THE CU FIELD HAS REMAINED RELATIVELY FLAT FARTHER WEST-NORTHWEST...AN ASSORTMENT OF SHORT-TERM NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SHOW RELATIVELY STRONG INDICATIONS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UPSWING IN DEEP CONVECTION BY EARLY EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OH/NORTHWEST PA AND EVENTUALLY FAR WESTERN NY. THIS WOULD LIKELY BE TIED OF THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF A MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVER ONTARIO...IN CONJUNCTION WITH DIFFERENTIAL HEATING/NEAR-LAKE CONVERGENCE.

yoda Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 FWIW, 1500z LWX 4km WRF-ARW tries to bring in a complex from PA into the metro region between 1-3 AM... its weakening, but there are some portions that look healthy. 1200z WRF-NMM4N does same... perhaps an hour or two later, but is def weaker and it falls apart as it reaches the metro region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
