EasternUSWX Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Day 2 from SPC... Well.... I like. Nice small area so it will be over us mainly and the tornado wording is nice. Had the same idea earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFD FIREMAN Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Another day of cloud OBS on Tuesday..... From LWX: IF CLD BRKS OCCUR...MDT INSTBY MAY DVLP IN LOCALIZED AREAS AND WILL PROMOTE GREATER UPDRAFT INTENSITY. ANY VIGOROUS UPDRAFT WILL FORM IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH SUFFICIENT DP LYR SHEAR FOR STORM ORGANIZATION AND FAVORABLE LOW-LVL SHEAR FOR ROTATION. AS A RESULT...MULTI-CELL AND SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WOULD BE PSBL FOR ANY LOCATIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO HEAT. ANY SUCH TSTMS ALSO WOULD BE THE MOST LKLY CANDIDATES TO PRODUCE SVR WX. ALTHOUGH DMGG WIND AND HAIL WOULD BE MOST LKLY THREATS FROM ANY VIGOROUS TSTMS...PATTERN HAS SIMILAR FEATURES TO A LOCAL COMPOSITE PATTERN KNOWN FOR BEING FAVORABLE FOR MESOCYCLONIC TORNADOES. FCST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST LOW-LVL INFLOW COULD BE FAVORABLE FOR DVLPMT OF WEAK TORNADOES...SPCLY LATE TUE AFTN IN THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Here are a couple of pics from last Thurs (3 7/8" in 1:15) that ground looks pretty well saturated. good for the corn. it's actually weird seeing just how green everything is this year. ignoring the height of the corn, you'd think it was may.

wxmeddler Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 This is my fifth summer here, and I've never seen it this green in August. My grass is semi-brown and haven't mowed it since late June. It would be all brown too if I didn't water it occasionally. As I have said before, thunderstorms hate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before, thunderstorms hate me. It's definitely luck of the draw. Had we not gotten lucky last Thursday, we'd be brown by now as we got nothing Friday or Saturday. We've gotten more luck this year than in the past in that we haven't gone very long between rains over here. They usually haven't been more than a quarter to half inch, but if you get them every 6 or 7 days, it can really help during July and August.

I've had over 8 inches since the beginning of July, while others are closer to 1-2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Racked up another 90 at DCA. While drier, it is still hot. Looks like Friday is our best chance at tying the 95+ record. After that, we get a cool-down and climo starts to really do its job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Racked up another 90 at DCA. While drier, it is still hot. Looks like Friday is our best chance at tying the 95+ record. After that, we get a cool-down and climo starts to really do its job. I think we'll get our 95+ on Friday... latest GFS+Euro Ops have a small +20C contour in northern/central VA... that's close enough for DCA to snag a 95 with a westerly wind (or at least it has been this year).
