The Dude Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 it's going to suck when we're no longer impressed by 100... True indeed. 110 is going to be beyond brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 it's going to suck when we're no longer impressed by 100... I lived in Phoenix for 5 years, we only took notice when it got above 116° or so. I'm already immune to big temp #'s. Though the DP in phoenix was in the mid-30's. This 70° DP ship is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My BYS is reporting 101. Tradewinds up the road is at 99.7 and Frederick Airport is at 100. Clouds are starting to get numerous out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 How do ground stops typically affect incoming flights, if at all? Add IAD to that as well Ground Stops are when they have flights at other airports coming into say BWI, DCA or IAD and they have ground stops, the flights there at the departing airports will be held by the FAA. Until air routes can clear up some, they will have ground stops throughout a stormy event like this in such a large area of the Northeast US. Any planes enroute will be slowed to allow storms to clear our the air route as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 too hot in DC for storms in a way maybe. storms havent really moved out of elevation around here yet and downsloping is not a favorable storm wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 How do ground stops typically affect incoming flights, if at all?

Avdave Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have a neighbor who's husband is on a plane sitting on the runway in Albany, NY to BWI not able to take off because of the storms. Exactly, BWI is in a ground stop hence why he is staying put in ALB till air routes are cleared out some. Perfect example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 in a way maybe. storms havent really moved out of elevation around here yet and downsloping is not a favorable storm wind. i know most said things would arrive a bit later so the fact that they are still sitting out W at least doesn't screw up the juice here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to be as bearish as earlier but SREF was pretty consistent in not liking this area all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacindc Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Line looks like it's reaching out a bit more southward, the two separate warned lines (near Martinsburg and then down west of Front Royal) now have connecting cells between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I normally break out the infrared thermometer for seeing whether or not snow will stick... But this? I don't think it's going to stick today. Between the sun angle, daylight savings time, and the precipitation rate, there's just too much going against much accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
