2019 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx - General Discussion

[JakkelWx]

stormtrack.org's free radarscope is gone.. guess I'm gonna have to pay $10. There used to be an online version with limited features that apparently got taken down.

a butterfly could fart that causes rotation and LWX will issue a warning for it.

Hey, alexa.  Do butterflies fart? Go home, H2O.  you're drunk.

Fart like a butterfly and it stings like a bee?

Little surprised the storm by Fredericksburg isn't TW'd. Tightened up on the last scan.

The cell is still a bit away from the radar site so it's sampling around ~3200 ft AGL.  The 0.8° scan isn't terribly impressive so it might be picking up on more of a mid level meso than something closer to the surface.  If it persist as it nears the site then perhaps the circulation could justify a TOR.

Eff black holes.  Science needs to answer this.

 

Now back to storms

[Hyphnx]

Heavy downpour near RIC.

i pretty much stopped using cod because it only occasionally loads on my iphone.  need to switch it from lte to wifi, or vice versa.  i use weatherbug the most now.  i downloaded noaa radar pro, but the loops are too short and it's choppy in general, though maybe i'm doing something wrong.  i never cared much because cod was always reliable, but i may need to check out this radarscope situation.

If you get radarscope you can choose between different types of subscriptions to go along with it. I have Pro Tier 1 (additional $10 a year) with gives you lightning, dual-pane display and longer loops

Pro Tier 2 includes all of Tier 1 plus SPC outlooks, local storm reports, 30day archive of radar, shear and hail contours and cross platform subscription at $15 a month, or $100 a year

Someone has to keep you severe people in line since all the mods leave once that frozen stuff ends.

Rains coming down pretty hard in Charlottesville, no thunder of wind yet though.

[NorthArlington101]

Storm that just got SVR warned by RIC has a little rotation with it.

Yeah, that cell looks pretty good. I’d pop a warning on that.

i have a friend that lives down there.  He said he was a mile or so from it.  Told me no winds at all.  just heavy rain.

[H2O]

But to be fair he might not have been near it as it got its act together.

rotation looked good when the warning was first issued, its weakened a bit. 

[Eskimo Joe]

Looking behind this initial batch of precip, it appears that some breaks in the clouds are occuring across NC and VA.  We're going to need to clear out and get some additional sunshine before the main line works its way through to realize any potential for Round #2 this evening.

My understanding of SPCs outlook was the any pre squall stuff had the potential for severe/tornado. Otherwise, the worst would come through later with the main squall line (later tonight).

HRRR barely has a round 1 for the I-95 corridor, none the less a round 2

[Hyphnx]

Tornado Warning is now a Severe Warning.

 

Satellite is showing decreasing cloud coverage in NC/SW VA
