The lightning shots in this thread are great.  I've always loved lightning on still humid nights after a hot day.  I swear that on humid days the light shows are more vivid...wonder if it's more CCN in the towers yielding better charges?  Maybe @MN Transplant can shed some light on that?

Honestly, anything I would have would be guesses on the CCN question.  You want active updrafts and ice to ice collisions.  That certainly points to the environment taking precedent.  There are studies out there about increase aerosol loading leading to more lightning, but whether that effect is major or minor I think is still uncertain.

Quite simply, there is enough juice in the atmosphere that (as we saw yesterday) we are likely to see some wind reports.  Even if this isn't a widespread severe day, I think they go with a box.

Well that answers the question:  https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2019/md1568.html

Warned storm headed right for @EastCoast NPZ.  The activity just west of I-81 is about to enter the more unstable airmass and cross over some surface convergence as highlighted on the SPC meso analysis page.  We will probably know in the next hour if the NAM/HRRR is right or on underestimating things...hopefully the latter.

Id hate to be a novice weather follower coming into this thread for information. EJ downplays everything that even a watch is boring. 

The casual person will think its ok to go golfing or boating or hang out in low lying areas based on EJ's meh of all things weather.

He's a professional so the run of the mill stuff isn't going to impress him.
