At least September means the heat can’t possibly stay too long right? Right? This year has been boring weather-wise since February here in comparison to elsewhere in VA. At least it’s wetter in recent weeks!

Yeah it's pretty unstable out there. CAPE exceeding 3K too. Lots of sun

I just saved a GFS image from their site and it was a 125kb png.

lol…I’m just wondering why the model images are so large to begin with. I don’t think I’ve ever saved a non animated model image that was over 1mb. Screenshots can be a little different. Maybe we can revisit storage amounts for each member group in the future, but the current is 41mb for members and 5mb per post. I can increase the 5, but I don’t want people to blow their storage on a few posts. I find it hard to believe wxmodels is producing 3-4mb images for every map of every model. I’m assuming you screenshotted them as jpgs.

We all know how this ends.

Wretched. Absolutely wretched.

I dunno, it's juicy out there. An hour of sun could be all it needs to pop.

Cowser made nearly an identical catch in Norfolk. https://www.mlb.com/video/colton-cowser-robs-a-homer

Sustained at TS winds of 35 kts gusting to 48 kts at Texas Point right now. Calcasieu Pass also registered gusts to 46 kts recently

We'll see if anything happens. I lean towards it being mostly city south now as I think atmosphere may have been too overworked from earlier rain

Nice partly sunny day. 77/55

Worst at BWI was 22/23 with .2". Lol I wasn't living there, thank God, but it was no snowfest up here either. 72/73 was 2nd worse at 1.2", which remember well and which turned me into a full blown weenie as we had 2 WSW that yielded nothing and hit ROA to ORF. At least 1", if not all, of that 72/73 snowfall was an arctic front in 2/73. Lol if anybody up north wonders why I am the way I am when when it comes to snowfall, just find the annual snowfall numbers from BWI from 1972 thru 2019. The mental trauma is epic.

My low mark is 21.5" in 2023-24. Looking at all the strong Ninos, snowfall ranged from 20-45" here. So a realistic early guess for a strong nino for me would be 30-35". Much less dependent on the boom or bust storm than you guys.

gusts of 27 kt at Port Arthur, Texas

With the MLB lockout looming, maybe Mike Trout retires after the season and takes over. We all know Trout has a love for meteorology. [Most likely not going to happen (at least right now), but crazier things have happened. Realistically, though, the Phillies need to make a trade for Trout. Philly already has LeBron, now time for the baseball team to land the big fish.]

Anger I feel. So done with this.

Huge difference in climo between ORD & DCA tho

97/98 is the 2nd worst snow winter I've had, 5.2" total. 01/02 was the worst at 4".

Keep reality to yourself please, i like to dream.

I drove home right through that cell. Super heavy rain, lightning and thunder. Had to go down to 25mph on 287

Luck, good and bad, happens in pretty much all winters. Everytime you guys talk 82-83 i cringe because it was definitely the worst strong nino of the bunch here, but I also realize some bad luck was involved in January and February. The extremely uncharacteristic lack of snow here was likely an extra slap in the face coming off the very snowy 1981-82.
