It absolutely is. I was anxious about just having to travel later in it, having a safe place at the studio should we need to shelter, and all that. Just too many moving parts when people are coming from multiple areas to the studio for classes. Not worth all that risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I was in the Deep Creek storm and my spouse was at work at the lake...intense, but hail was at max marble sized and the wind, while gusty, was sub severe. I am A-OK with that. Looks more like a heavy rain threat out here now (temp is only 66) with some training echoes out west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would NOT want to be driving around in severe situations like that, branches all over, wind, no visibility. Heck, I happened to be out last Saturday during those big storms that went through and it was no fun driving in that, totally white-knuckled it with the steering wheel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I was watching the Convective Chronicles youtube video (expert forecast) with the sound off and the closed captioning on. Better watch out for that high effective stormwater publicity! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Maryland down into north-central Virginia seems pretty ripe. Another area (just outside of the moderate risk is western North Carolina). But from Maryland down into north-central Virginia, mesonalysis indicates a large area of 2000 J/KG of MLCAPE with RAP developing as much as 2500 ahead of the line of approaching storms. 2-6km lapse rates around 7.5 C/KM with llvl lapse rates 8-8.5 C/KM. These are big wind signals, especially with DCAPE values up around 1200 J/KG with large 3km CAPE overspreading this area too. Increasing ulvl jet with approaching jet streak should result in rapidly increasing ulvl divergence too over the next hour. This stuff is really going to take off as it moves from West Virginia into Maryland and north-central Virginia. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
