2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion
biodhokie replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Depends on how you prompt the AI and what model you use. If you use the most complex model and give it a detailed prompt and question, you'll get a detailed answer in return. It's still simply a tool rather than an absolute source. Have I used it in my own work? Yes, and it's inadvertently given me academic papers that I or my coworkers are on as sources and quoted it correctly so YMMV. I personally compare the quickest, and usually free versions of the AI to be the same as chatting with friends about random topics while hammered. -
One of the downsides of the smoke is that it has reduced the surface heating and therefore boundary layer depth. The high dews are not being mixed out as they would on a day without smoke.
-
Pretty crazy how this happens. There is research too about damage paths in the South contributing to local enhancement of thunderstorm activity because of the temperature gradient which becomes established between the vegetation and the damage path. I think even some research with burn scars in the West with rain/storms -
Definitely back to an orange tint. Nothing like yesterday -
Truly awful out, lifting weights in my un air conditioned garage and just soaked head to toe

E PA/NJ/DE Summer 2026 Obs/Discussion

Thats the Township that I manage where you see the Jordan Creek. By the way, I got an email from PADOT yesterday, that same bridge you went over on RT 100 is going to be replaced in 2029 with detours. Not going to be easy -
I can see the smoke now against the dark green woods moving through the wind. Strong smell. Interestingly enough, the sun seems brighter than it has since this all started. Maybe because it's more surface smoke now?
-
Secondary lake breeze that moved through is helping to pull more smoke in.
-
Moderate rain showers with very high winds just moved across Newfound Lake. A very quick drop in temperature to 66Fl Boaters are scrambling. No lightning. I'm sheltered from the W/NW winds but gusted to 30mph. I'm sure winds gusted to near 50mph out on the lake. Watching the live cams. Boaters are scrambling...
-
Will get a little hazy but this won’t be bad at all. So much better than yesterday. -
2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion

Isn't this blatantly wrong? It's the HRRR that always has the overmixing problem, just in the past couple setups the soundings from the Nam may show 3000 CAPE while HRRR is out with 1000 or less. This is a good reminder that AI is bullshit; as in it is extremely confident but has no actual checks on if it is true which is my personal definition of bullshit. It always sounds "correct" until it is your field of expertise you ask it on. -
More images coming through the satellite
-
Could you also call my county rec program and get them to cancel softball tomorrow night lol
-
It shunts the 200+ near surface smoke off to our east (Capeland) so we get values around 100. Talked to the team reps for my swim team and fought to get practices reduced from 1 hour to 45 minutes for age groups tomorrow. My atmosphere course last fall really emphasized how pm is not something you want to play around with when it comes to nearly any exposure. It's the day before divisionals so we're tapering anyways.
-
yeah smoke really flexing on cook co now
-
It's pretty smoky locally. My throat feels scratchy.
-
1SM FU VV020 here at ORD currently.
-
GOES East updating. Will take a few hours for animations to populate.
-
It comes back Saturday maybe?
-
89 / 70 grey sky smoke / clouds - clouds / smoke - just smoke / mostly clouds TBD once satellite is back.
-
Is that the near surface smoke? Yuck
-
Heat, humidity, bugs and smoke. Soak it all in.
-
today much better, currently at 5 KW, was about 1 KW yesterday at this time
