high risk Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Looking at the NAM nest and HRRR, while the greatest coverage of storms will be over the next few hours, a few more could be around later during the night. Decent shear profiles will remain in place, and instability won't drop off much in this air mass. Not sure we can rule out an isolated supercell overnight.

Shear profiles were favorable when I checked the 12z and 18z NAM soundings till around or just after 06z TUES... so I assume that should be the time when the threat for a tornado should diminish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I’m a total severe amateur but on the base velocity it looks like an area of green/red coupled together just moved through NW dc and is now up by silver spring.

Didn't get any tw alerts from any other source. Edit: thanks, high risk. It's currently lightly raining and I'm still in college park. Not sure why they do things this way.

high risk Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 ah geez. UMD has a private company issue tornado warnings for their campus, independent of NWS warnings. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/UMD-Alerts-Students-to-Tornado-That-Never-Came-131854018.html That must be what's happening again today. That couplet that's near Silver Spring now was never really on a path towards campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Only 0.30" here today. Well under the forecasted amounts. Guess I should be thankful, since some roads still have water flowing across them from last week's flooding. But I am a weenie, so not happy about the "bust."

WxUSAF Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Every time the long range progs show some signs of real fall air getting here, it gets pushed to the right inevitably. The summer that won't end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer that won't end. Maybe there will be no real Fall this year, but a continuation of AN temps into Nov. and then a sudden turn to early winter weather by Thanksgiving - I could wish right :-) Maybe we pull the rubberband as far as it can go and then we snap back and head in the other direction. Was thinking about Fall into Winter - Is it true that an El Nino fall normally brings on a early to start to winter threats like 02-03, 09-10 , etc or is it random, any ideas ?
