2023 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx Thread (General Discussion)

Sign me up for today's 12Z HRRR.       Round 1 with severe chances later this afternoon, round 2 of noisy storms late tonight, and round 3 with severe chances later tomorrow.

Most of the CAMs are bullish for later today.    While mid-level lapse rates aren't awesome, they're sufficient, and the deep-layer shear is seasonably strong.   Could be a decent coverage of wind reports.    HRRR is an outlier for the late night MCS, so I'll assume for now that it's unlikely.     Shear isn't as strong Monday afternoon, so SVR would be more scattered, but the shear looks to still be sufficient for storm organization.

I like the UH signature right through the DC Beltway on the 12z NAM nest.

    Not sure at all where we stand here at 20Z, but it's certainly not playing out as progged this morning.    The CAMs looked great for the late afternoon period, but it's not cranking so far.     The recent HRRR runs look awful, but I'm not totally sure to trust them fully, given their poor handle on the low-level moisture evolution.

Seriously. Not sure what LWX is looking at (or smoking), but they need to adjust fire on their current forecast, at least for SE FfxCo. Sure, I could see several cell(s) potentially popping on radar before and just after sunset, especially since we're clearing out here a lot more right now, but...yeah, radar is a ghost town right now.

Showers starting to pop up from a band of agitated cumulus congestus stretching from Manassas to Alexandria.

LOL, good call...maybe a better call than LWX! Seeing that you're describing on radar, and it seems to be heading direct for Alexandia City (just to my north). Interestingly enough, I'm currently observing cumulus, at seemingly different levels, heading in at least three different directions over my patio at the moment...see, I mouthed off about the forecast, ran out and set up the patio/backyard, and I'm probably going to eat my words within the hour.  :D

Strange looking radar the past 20 minutes or so. Regardless of exactly why, seems like these storms are struggling to take off

These cells just couldn’t maintain.  I was in a good spot and got 0.09”.  It clearly isn’t unstable enough right now.
