Oddly, the new SPC Day 1 outlook only talks about the current show and has no mention of any threat later today.     There is certainly still time to heat up again this afternoon.

Yeah - that's weird. I guess they are trying to get through the current batch - but that seems semi misleading for readers. They even trimmed probabilities as if this is it for the day. The new outlook has the "the front has cleared the area" kind of read to it. Maybe they are planning on just covering the remainder of the day with mesoscale discussions :lol:

That line was a nothingburger in Ellicott City. Even the recycling truck kept driving around in it. My trash cans are secure.

Yeah, blew through quick. Had a quick blast of wind/rain as it first hit and then some thunder, but worst of it went southeast through Catonsville.

Trend of having HRRR juice up that next line is a good one - I'll use the weenie-ism that maybe it's sampling the ground truth better with time ;) 

Even tries for some UDH swaths through N VA/DC/C MD between 23z and 01z

Thought it a bit odd as well, guess they could mention it on the 2000z OTLK if the threat manifests itself?

 

         Yeah, they could certainly update the 20Z outlook, but @kmlwx is spot on saying that the probabilities map was certainly drawn to account for the only threat being from the ongoing activity.    It doesn't go back nearly far enough west for a round 2.

Why dont they put out alerts for Thunderstorm warnings anymore?

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings do not trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts unless the SVR is tagged for 'Destructive': https://www.foxweather.com/extreme-weather/destructive-thunderstorm-alerts-what-they-are-and-why-the-nws-issues-them

And warning fatigue is real - I think that's a solid call - especially in the DC area where (not ragging on LWX) but EVERYTHING seems to get a warning in severe season.

@Kmlwx is stuck in :o mode seeing this :lol:

Other than glancing at the HRRR I haven't done a lot of looking at the next around yet. Finishing up some work stuff (was SUPPOSED to be a half day). Though from what I've seen on Twitter and on here - I'm intrigued.
