yep there's a lag for sure-even in in the winter the saying goes "As the days lengthen the cold strengthens"

Not sure what losing sunlight has to do with anything, when our warmest days aren't until after the solstice. Make that same post on 12/21 about gaining sunlight then lol.

Looks like a dry fropa Pike N, huh

Might not hit 90 today here. 87 off a high of 89 and with dews lowering heat advisory is not needed.

93/68 at my station. Wind more westerly keeping the sea breeze at bay for now.

Not sure I'd be using the HRRR much today given it mixes out the low-levels too much and will be too low on dews by several degrees. Meanwhile, latest HRRR for 1pm vs radar:- 365 replies

2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
1997 had a +EPO Winter.. the 500mb was -30dm mean for Alaska, when in all Nino 3.4 the correlation is 0.0. I can't stress enough that +epo is the worst pattern for Winter weather in the Mid Atlantic and NE. 01-02 was the most +EPO Winter. Point is, +EPO is not really an El Nino pattern, even east based events have a mean of -5dm over Alaska. El Nino is more PNA and NPH. So some other factors caused some of the extreme, persistent warmth in 97-98, by lifting that trough north over Alaska and to the arctic circle. I still see the SSTA of this event as evolving much further west than that one though. Global warming has made it like 5x more likely to have something close to a 97-98 Winter now, especially without having mid latitude troughs which is usually a feature of el nino, but that doesn't mean we will see +EPO dominated the whole cold season. -

2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion

Latest HRRR is essentially a bust. Some hit or miss storms, but nothing that would amount to more than half an inch of rain, and certainly not severe.- 365 replies

https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0801.html Mesoscale Discussion 0801 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1123 AM CDT Wed May 20 2026 Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 201623Z - 201800Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Widely scattered thunderstorms will pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and isolated large hail this afternoon and evening. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed soon. DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations depict a cold front extending from central New York southwestward through north-central and western Pennsylvania into southeast Ohio. Ahead of this cold front, temperatures are warming into the 90s across portions of the Mid-Atlantic, with surface dewpoints in the low/mid 60s F. Continued heating of this air mass is supporting 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, with further destabilization anticipated through the afternoon hours. Recent satellite/radar imagery has shown increasing convective coverage ahead of the aforementioned cold front as remaining inhibition is eroded. With stronger mid/upper-level flow remaining displaced to the northwest, only modest effective shear is analyzed across the region (generally 20-30+ kts per latest mesoanalysis). This will be sufficient to support updraft organization with multicells, and perhaps marginal supercells, likely. Steep low-level lapse rates, well-mixed boundary layer profiles, and surface dewpoint depressions exceeding 20-25 F will promote the potential for damaging wind gusts, particularly with any more organized clusters that develop. Isolated instances of large hail may also accompany any more robust updrafts despite weak mid-level lapse rates (as sampled by the 12z PIT/IAD observed soundings). A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed soon. ..Chalmers/Hart.. 05/20/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...BGM...CTP...LWX...PBZ...RLX...
