June 10-14 Severe/Flooding Wx - Obs, Radar, Warnings, Dmg. rpts

As of right now, most of the precip appears to be in NEPA and SNE.

With this type of system, biggest severe threat is on the south side, while precip is north, right?

 

Yes, our area would be between the cold front and the warm front that is associated with the low

Ours aren't good enough so we need the outside help.  Hi Mark! :wub:

 

*waves*

 

I put my thoughts on Twitter last night, but figured it was covered here well enough :P I'm trying to get Ian up here for a chase day tomorrow.

 

@MADUSWX 12h

Thursday looking better and better as a chase day in northeastern MD/southeastern PA/Delmarva. Still some details that need to be worked out

@MADUSWX 12h

.@ryanhanrahan Gonna see if some discrete stuff can't pop up near the warm front... otherwise playing the tail-end charlie.

So this maybe early and better known by tonight but, I am chasing tomorrow. Where would be better NE MD or SE PA? I am leaning around the York area because they always seem to get tornadoes there. 

 

will depend on where exactly the warm front sets up, the strongest shear will most likely be along it

 

(I think, maybe a red tagger can confirm)

No doubt. However, you need instability as well, and the closer you get to the warm front, the higher chance for an overcast sky. You want to aim for the best of both worlds (shear & instability). It's going to come down to what happens tonight in the Ohio Valley and what happens as that convection moves eastward.

I'd stage in York if your target area is the LSV and Northern Md. You can get down to baltimore via 83 in 45 mins or so, lancaster via 30 in about 30 mins. There's a sheetz adjacent to both.

So the atlantic ocean is still cold and we have a powerful low pressure system approaching that can easily draw in that marine stable air with a wind direction slightly more backed in a certain location.. Tornado threats are never a slam dunk in this area for that reason alone. Warm front location will be huge (sorry if I'm stating the obvious)..This is no doubt a high end threat for the area but I always remain a bit skeptical

Exactly this has bust written all over it.  There was a MOD Risk for the plains yesterday and look how that turned out.

That mod risk was not for tornadoes, was for wind and the derecho they were expecting never happened. As far as I can tell, a derecho isn't our main concern. At least it seems that way to me.

 

Seriously, whats with the debbie downer attitude you have had for days?

Because it's the same exact setup.

 

Even with the dewpoints mixing out a bit more than what the models show (which I agree with you on that point), it is still a pretty darn good setup for June. I think the SPC is handling tomorrow's potential just fine in the Mid-Atlantic.

NAM Sounding for KDMH for 18z tomorrow... shows ~3800 CAPE... not too bad

He just wants to be able to claim he was right if it does bust.  No real logic behind it.

 

 

I may have to use some comp time tomorrow afternoon if we stay in the zone.

That moderate risk was bunk. No models even really showed anything yesterday, not sure why that moderate out there. Tomorrow is a totally different story.

Well, good thing you're not WTOP because they said "prepare for DERECHO PART DEUX and large hail and tornadoes and high winds and...".

I haven't listened yet today. At least I am going to put some patio furniture in the garage. (Now that the 63 Catalina is getting restored)

I guess the O's game on Thursday will be cancelled.

A derecho is certainly possible today... in the Midwest. I wouldn't necessarily bank on it happening, but I think the main problem surrounding all the talk out west is people will remember what happened last year and will expect something similar this time around, which is unlikely. East of the Apps, any local talk of derecho-strength storms for tonight is just silly.
