2020 Mid-Atlantic Severe Weather - General Thread

Recommended Posts

Big polygons showing up - typical with this kind of a setup to warn essentially the entire line - regardless of radar velocity it seems. Line looking nice - especially the area near the Mason-Dixon line. It's too bad we don't go right from severe season into blizzards. Imagine having something to track almost every week all year. 

Dec-Mar = Winter storms
Apr-Aug = Severe thunderstorms/wedges
Sept-Oct = Less severe but still some and tropical
Nov-Dec = Synoptic wind rippage

Interesting text on the SVR behind the line:

At 519 PM EST, gradient winds from a passing cold front will 
continue to produce sporadic gusts around and above 60 mph.

Yeah the storm itself sure wasn’t severe. I was thinking if it’s Orange it must be severe these days. Lasted less than two minutes
