I'll probably be awakened tomorow at 4am to a clap of thunder as a decaying MCS moves through (can't wait! :axe: )

This happened to me this morning. A nice early thunderstorm to start the day. The best of the MCS went south of me though through the heart of the Delaware Valley.

We do this again tomorrow down here?

Hopefully a bit further north this time...but as of now models dont want anything further north..

Haha yeah i was awakened at 5am and had a good laugh...That MCS was no slouch just south of you (big surprise that it just missed lol). I see no reason why we wouldn't repeat tomorrow morning (and again sunday AM?). Aftn MCS develops in the Midwest today and heads east overnight. And if anything, the mid-level flow looks more favorable to send an MCS due east across our area. This morning I would have thought the MCS would turn a bit more south then it did.

Either way, I'll sign up for this in the afternoon please lol:

What the hell is that for, El Paso? LOL.

What a ridiculous EML. The new SPC paints the picture well and you get the idea simply by looking at their risk lines. Can't wait to see what happens out of this, even if they continue to miss me.

Yeah no kidding. The NAM is awfully far north with that MCS... especially given the fact tomorrow there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of instability north of NYC thanks to a relatively dry boundary layer.

The way things were evolving after midnight, I figured I was screwed for a good night's rest (even if the MCS failed...rim shot). This morning's "MCS" was probably more of an MCC and it was associated with a pretty decent mid level disturbance. I think between the limited size of the cluster and the more robust synoptic features, the Corfidi Effect was, well...ineffective.

But there is mid level channelized vorticity along the theta-e gradient. I would imagine that this would be the upper bound of any thunderstorm cluster.

Good observation, you can definitely tell there was an embedded shortwave in there. Looking into it more, SPC does appear spot on with the trajectory of any t-storm clusters that develop today heading ESE. but by morning it looks like the mid-level flow turns favorable for a more west to east storm motion through Saturday. The problem then becomes though if were on the favorable side of that moisture boundary that CT Rain mentioned. We'll see.

There also appears to be two different disturbances (an early / south one and a late / north one) moving through with strong theta-e advection occuring in the coastal plain. Could make for an interesting wind profile near the gradient ahead of any wave.

Some very disrespectful posters on this board

It is amazing to me that you have an intelligent poster willing to share his thoughts on the long range for free and then someone takes the time to type up that kind of response to him.
