hmm.. bulk shear seems a bit lacking especially south of PA, but..

A derecho (widespread damaging windstorm associated with a line or bow of thunderstorms) could drive from north-central to southeast PA and possibly into MD, NJ, and DE this afternoon and evening.

What's up with this private distribution of data? Do the rest of us peons have to wait 2 hours for the CDUS41? I pay taxes, too, and plenty of them.

i think it's just some reporters have the observer's phone number. cwg hasnt reported the 105 so im not sure it's legit, though i'd assume the post isnt reporting someone's personal wx station but you never know.

even cape isn't amazing out ahead of the system. derecho seems a little strong .. tho forbes isnt one you'd put in a foot's forecast category. ;)

The phone number is publicly available for all asos and some awos stations... It's an automated system, there is no human on the other end..

DCA: 703-412-8140

IAD: 703-661-2990

BWI: 410-691-1278

Welcome to the 19th century. 703-412-8140 ---> constant busy signal. I knew NWS web distribution of climo was pathetic, but apparently I overestimated them.

Don't discount the value of winds. They've been too light and variable for max downsloping, and the frontal position in PA is probably just a tad too far north for enhancement.

Agree, think it's the winds more than anything else, been flipping throughout the day and have really let up in the past few hours. Need sustained W/NW with gusts to 20 for max downsloping.
