I don't remember there ever being WEAs for STWarnings before last year. I believe last year was when WEAs for STWs started for 2.75"+ hail and 80+ mph winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be more diplomatic with the criticism than some of what gets thrown around in my sub, but let's say that SPC can be a bit slow to react sometimes. While they are the foremost experts on this stuff, I would definitely put weight on the outside collective thoughts/opinions from knowledgeable folks.

yoda Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 can def see the thinning of the clouds and clearing going on https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Most of the time around DC when we get hit like we did at the time if day we were then the atmosphere is sapped and stabilized. Now 85 degrees and full sunshine and no breeze can destabilize again but 70% of the time that does not happen and dire forecasts of round two do not materialize 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone freaks out when they hear it on their phones. Pulled up velocity and the spinup was about 500 yards EAST of my toilet (location). Just dark skies, windy and rain here. Doubt it did anything on the ground but there was definitely some rotation, albeit for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Showers running from SW of CHO down to Chatham, VA. Those could serve to increase cloud cover. We'll see how the pockets of clearing sustain or fill in in the NoVA/Central Maryland/DC areas in the next hour or two. The most recent mesoanalysis shows we are pretty worked over in terms of CAPE.

We have a decent amount of shear and low level moisture so the wet microburst potential is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Nothing exciting here. A few rumbles of thunder, but some decent rain. 0.40". Still some on and off showers. Instability should be on the wane through the rest of the afternoon into the evening, but hopefully another round of showers can bring maybe an additional quarter inch. Mesos look pretty meh with the next round weakening as it moves east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 The more recent HRRR runs have focused some better activity to the south in the next round but are a little less impressive than earlier runs in the immediate DC-Balt corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrapinwx Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Drove through North Beach while out running errands. Lots of debris on the roads and a small area with numerous trees down including 2 houses that I saw were damaged. Luckily the worst of the damage seems to have been to this shed.
