its a nursery web spider..very common..and not a threat to you (except in your upcoming nightmares).

yeah, distinct mugginess to the air for first time in a long time.

If the nocturnal inversion kicks in then it's a moot point. But any leftover precipitation could act as a conduit for the wind.

Humid and 79 here. Storms building to my Wnw. Getting dark that way.

Clouds were rolling in at 7 for me. No rain just breezy.

Darkness has warshed over this dude. Darker'n a black steer's tuchus on a moonless prairie night.

The sun is back !! It's just here for 30 minutes gone for 30 minutes and back again.

Tornado Watch up for i81 corridor for now

We whistle

16z HRRR looks to bring in a line of supercells through the i95 corridor between 6pm and 9pm... then rotates in a complex of heavy rain after midnight for N VA/DC/MD

Up to 76 here but still mainly cloudy skies with some breaks the clearing to full sunshine is looking less likely. Could push 80 in the warm spots

Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, Greensboro, Columbia, Augusta, Savannah have an enhanced damaging wind threat today.

Raleigh/Durham, Richmond, Washington, and Baltimore might see more of threat of tornadic supercells or QLCS tornadic development

Tornado Watch coming soon for western part of the CWA

Looking back at this, I'm not sure there was ever much support for such a feature really and not sure it synoptically made sense.

It’s definitely worth watching. Once the trough axis passes, winds just above the surface shift to northwest, and the speeds rocket up (50+ kt) just above the ground. The question always is whether those speeds can be mixed downward. Some of the guidance shows an additional round of showers after midnight with some very weak low-level instability. Can that get it done? Not sure, but it could.

yeah it's coming and going lol

Seems to be the case,yup.

Second half of the week is shaping up to be on the hot/humid side. The signal for that cut-off low is fading and we are going to turn the flow WSW or SW with the front approaching and eventually stalling somewhere within the region. Going to be lots of mid-to-upper 80's to lower 90's in the torch spots if we mix fully.
