Eskimo Joe Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Orange County AWOS reports a wind gust of 61 mph. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 That line segment over Orange County, VA has decent clearing ahead of it and the storm motion could take it right up into DC. Could be a quick overcast -> sunny -> boom -> done thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 30 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: It's pretty rare for us to get a line of strong storms rotating around cyclonic flow centered to our NW. The SE-NW orientation and movement is backwards from what we typically see (NE-SW) Amazing how that line in the last 20 minutes has curved around to look like the HRRR orientation. Sometimes we have to stop to marvel at how good the models really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we have to stop to marvel at how good the models really are. It really is amazing. We had nothing like this available just a few years ago. The RAP was unreliable and sent a lot of false signals for snow and severe. The hrrr has proven to be incredibly accurate inside of 10 hours. It has its faults just like all NWP models but we've never had anything close to the level of the hrrr for short term stuff until recently.

Bob Chill Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hail core starting to show up on VIL to the SW. Pretty mean looking line building. Hopefully it doesn't hit a wall of stability as it comes through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City line) is on fire due to a lightning strike. From what I was told, fire department is there, but they can't do much from the shoreline. Update: Fireboat on scene. Nice pics. I was listening to it on the scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
