Recommended Posts

Maybe Tuesday too.

 

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK 
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0100 AM CDT MON JUL 14 2014

   VALID 151200Z - 161200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE
   CAROLINAS/DELMARVA/MID-ATLANTIC STATES...

   .

   ...CAROLINAS/DELMARVA/MID-ATLANTIC STATES...
   THE BRUNT OF UPPER-LEVEL FORCING FOR ASCENT SHOULD OVERSPREAD THE
   NORTHEAST STATES AND ONTARIO/QUEBEC ON TUESDAY...BUT STEADY HEIGHT
   FALLS/MID-LEVEL COOLING ARE EXPECTED AS FAR SOUTH AS THE CAROLINAS.
   ALTHOUGH SOME DETAILS ABOUT EARLY DAY CLOUD COVER/PRECIPITATION ARE
   NOT CERTAIN...WEAK TO MODERATE BUOYANCY SHOULD MATERIALIZE WITHIN
   THE WARM/MOIST SECTOR AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD-MOVING COLD FRONT. THE
   MOST PROBABLE AREA FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DESTABILIZATION TUESDAY
   AFTERNOON CURRENTLY APPEARS TO BE ACROSS PARTS OF THE CAROLINAS INTO
   VA...WITH MORE UNCERTAINTY ON BUOYANCY DETAILS ACROSS THE
   MID-ATLANTIC/NORTHEAST SEABOARD WHERE LAPSE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO
   SOMEWHAT WEAKER. WHERE ADEQUATE DESTABILIZATION DOES OCCUR...THE
   INFLUENCE OF MODERATELY STRONG CYCLONIC MID/UPPER-LEVEL WINDS WILL
   CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINED MULTICELLS/LINE SEGMENTS WITH DAMAGING WINDS
   AND SOME HAIL POSSIBLE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

   ...SOUTHEAST STATES...
   OTHER MORE ISOLATED/MARGINAL STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
   POSSIBLE ACROSS ADDITIONAL PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES/GULF COAST
   AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY
   ISOLATED/MARGINAL INSTANCES OF HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE.

Best instability south and east of I-95 on Tuesday. Still could be a decent severe day but today should be more widespread esp metro areas and NW.

Wow another fantastic storm in columbia. Multiple CGs in the neighborhood with torrential rain and gusting to 45

Yes, woke me up right at this time. 

 

Storms better hold off today until later.  I have a 455pm flight out of DCA.

Is anyone else's AllisonHouse lightning feed not working? Mine hasn't worked in months despite my loading a fresh placefile several times. Have yet to hear back from the vendor too.

Mine has been working flawlessly. As well as all their other feeds.

Atmosphere seems primed for this slow moving front. Sun out here in Rockville. I think we're rocking & rolling pretty good this afternoon. Besides the usual severe aspects, I feel training storms may pose a FF threat. Just my 2 cents.

Surprised LWX hasn't issued a FFW.  They are usually pretty quick to pull the trigger on that.

12z NAM is much better in regards to bulk shear this afternoon... keeps it around ~30-35 kts for a good period this afternoon which is much better for sustaining convection this evening

 

SBCAPE of ~3700 and MLCAPE of ~2750 for 21z at KDCA

 

Updated HWO as of 10:15 mentions isolated tornado and damaging wind gusts the primary threats... earlier said an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out ;)

SREF is bullish in PA. ;)

Updated morning AFD from LWX... LWX still banging the TOR potential drum

 

 

 

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 10AM...OBS ACROSS THE I-95 CORRIDOR W/ TEMPS IN THE M80S AND
DEWPOINTS JUST ABOVE THE 70 DEG MARK - MAKE FOR HEAT INDICES NEAR
90F. A MIX OF SCATTERED MID-LEVEL DEBRIS CLOUDS WILL DO LITTLE TO
INHIBIT THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL TODAY...WHICH IS INCREASING BY
THE MINUTE. 12Z KIAD SOUNDING...AS WELL AS SURROUNDING REGIONAL
OBS SHOW A FAIRLY LOADED OVERHEAD COLUMN - W/ SFC AND MUCAPES
ALREADY IN THE 2-2.5K RANGE ALREADY. FORECAST AND SOUNDING
MODIFICATIONS HAVE THESE VALUES BORDERING 4K J/KG HEADING INTO THE
MID AFTN/MAX HEATING TIMES.


WE`RE STILL UNDER THE BASE OF A LARGER UPPER TROUGH BACK ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES...WHICH WILL SEND A MINOR SHORTWAVE KINK IN THE
UPPER FLOW TOWARD THE AREA IN THE COMING HRS. THIS FEATURE WILL
DEEPEN SLIGHTLY AS IT MOVES EWD AND CLOSER TO THE COAST...BUT WILL
BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO BE OUR MAIN LIFTING MECHANISM TODAY AS
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND WEAK TSTMS NEAR THE APLCNS FROM THE WEST.
LOCAL GUIDANCE POINTS TOWARD A LEE SFC TROUGH DRIFTING OVER THE
APLCNS IN SHORT ORDER AND PRODUCING IT`S OWN CONVECTION FROM THE
NRN SHEN VLY AND EWD...FROM EARLY AFTN ONWARD. AS THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH NEARS THE I-95 CORRIDOR/ERN SEABOARD...THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR
PARAMETERS WILL INCREASE LATER THIS AFTN/EVE - GIVING ONGOING
CONVECTION MORE ENERGY FOR ORGANIZATION AND POTENTIALLY
MESOVORTICES AND/OR TORNADO PRODUCTION. NERN MD APPEARS TO THE BE
MORE FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR THESE ELEMENTS TO COME TOGETHER ACROSS
OUR REGION...IN TERMS OF INSTABILITY/SHEAR/TIMING.

The locally run ARW and NMM bring some decent storms in. WRF SPC run at 00z also develops storms over/near us. Seems like good consensus we'll get some sort of line through here.

1630 OTLK still 2/0/15... disco below

 


..WV/VA TO NJ/SRN NEW ENGLAND    RADAR LOOPS SHOW THE REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM OVERNIGHT STORMS  IS TRACKING ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS OF PA/WV.  THIS BOUNDARY  WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN VA AND CENTRAL PA BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND  PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.  DEWPOINTS IN THE  70S AND INCREASING DAYTIME HEATING FROM THIS AREA EASTWARD TO THE  ATLANTIC COAST WILL YIELD MLCAPE VALUES OF 1500-2500 J/KG.   MEANWHILE...30-40 KNOT WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND STEEPENING LOW LEVEL  LAPSE RATES WILL ENHANCE THE RISK OF WIND DAMAGE IN THE STRONGEST  STORMS.  IN ADDITION TO THE WIND THREAT...VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES  AND HIGH DEWPOINT VALUES APPEAR  SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT SOME RISK OF  SUPERCELLS AND PERHAPS A TORNADO FROM NORTHEAST MD/SOUTHEAST PA INTO  NJ THIS AFTERNOON.
