Just for reference, here is the euro from last night (via wunderground) - CAPE at 21z Thursday.

Does the Euro have any known biases for events like these?

Either way it does seem like it'll be a game of miles with the Potomac River the battle ground.

Euro usually seems like it's low on instability. Though I haven't looked at anything today really.

If you were to extrapolate the 15z HRRR the MCS certainly doesn't look like it'll miss us to the north on that track.

 

True, but we would probably be on teh southern side of it

 

ETA: If you extrapolate the 15z RAP at 18 hours, it looks like the majority of it would go north of us, but there is a developing line in WV at 09z THUR

everything missed the house?  

By the grace of God, the house was not damaged.  The deck was partly destroyed.  Can't say the same for some of my neighbors who had house damage.  I have more pics, but they are on another camera at home.  Power lines completely toppled, trees blocking access roads, barns on a horse farm across the street were flattened, fences demolished, bark stripped from trees, debris everywhere. No injuries and I have a roof over my head, but  a lot of clean up to do.  Finding out the hard way that insurance doesn't cover very much for trees that fall and don't hit the house.  :axe:

1730 SPC OTLK:

 


..MID-ATLANTIC.    TSTMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION AT THE BEGINNING OF  THE PERIOD. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE ORGANIZED MCS /AND MOST OF  ITS ASSOCIATED OUTFLOW/ WILL BE LARGELY THROUGH THE REGION BY 12Z...  WITH ONLY THE DELMARVA PENINSULA EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTED BETWEEN  12-15Z. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTIVE BY THE BULK OF THE  GUIDANCE...INCLUDING MANY CONVECTION-ALLOWING RUNS. THREAT FOR  DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS OUTFLOW AS IT TRACKS ACROSS  VA AND THE DELMARVA PENINSULA.    CONSENSUS AMONGST MOST THE GUIDANCE IS THAT THE AIRMASS ACROSS MUCH  OF THE REGION WILL REMAIN MOIST EVEN AFTER PASSAGE OF THIS  MCS...SUPPORTING MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY ONCE DIURNAL HEATING  BEGINS. PRESENCE OF THE RESIDUAL OUTFLOW AND APPROACHING COLD FRONT  COULD THEN INTERACT WITH THIS UNSTABLE AND STRONGLY SHEARED  ENVIRONMENT...RESULTING IN MORE SVR TSTMS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS WV.  HOWEVER...DESPITE THE MODEL CONSENSUS...IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE  MCS WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND THE RESULTING  UNCERTAINTY ON WHAT EFFECT THE EARLY MORNING MCS HAS IS HIGH ENOUGH  TO PRECLUDE INCREASING THE SVR PROBABILITIES OVER THIS REGION WITH  THIS FORECAST. ONCE MESOSCALE DETAILS BECOME MORE CLEAR...HIGHER  SEVERE PROBABILITIES MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

All the weather world is hype these days. People out west talking wedgefest gonna be disappointed when this thing grows into a cluster in like 5 minutes.

Social media has ruined this field.

Pretty much. I don't think all these enthusiasts were supposed to gather to chat like we do these days. It's almost impossible to not go overboard it seems.

Too much emphasis is put on pretty color maps and composite parameters these days. And social media has linked all the arm chair mets with the pros and everyone in between. A lot of people see SigTor of 10 and automatically assume tornado outbreak without a care for the science behind it. I know most of us here understand this phenomena but it does feel good to type it out. 

I'll be the first to admit that I get excited when I see a prime looking composite parameter map - but over the years I've slowly grown accustomed to taking everything with a grain of salt and looking/reading more into it. Obviously I defer to folks like you or the pro mets around.

The RT button on Twitter is probably the worst thing for the wx world. It's too easy to propagate false/inaccurate info.

There's some good that comes out of it. I've definitely learned a lot from people online over the years. But these days it's all sort of out of control. Mega focus on finding the best contaminated PDS tor sounding, posting STP for areas that aren't going to convect, etc. I keep waiting for it all to implode on itself and people to come back to reality but it still just keeps getting worse instead. Many "pros" aren't immune either because hype sells.

Kind of reminds me of winter events where a storm trends away only to try to hook us back in with last minute trends ;) - OT but have you glanced at the LR GFS? :lol:

I wouldn't have except I saw a "pro" tweeting about how he was glad no one posted the 336 GFS.. then everyone started talking about it. At least hurricane hype is more annoying than tornado hype so it makes me hate myself for being into tornadoes a little less.

But but but - the system starts to form around 231 hours. Totes in range. :weenie:
