  1. Past hour
  2. I'm still pretty bullish on today, especially for those east of Route 15. I'll be watching dew point this afternoon closely, as a number of models really mix out for a while and lower the dews significantly. That said, I'm not sure that I buy it to the extent that some guidance has most guidance recovers moisture ahead of development, and shear will be very good later today. If moisture really does mix out for a while, the threat will then be more focused east of the Potomac.
  3. some kind of either severe threat, or just some weird anachronistic cyclone for this time of year with a lot of wind Thursday Emerging yet still vague heat signal after the 25th
  4. A surprise storm came through this morning dumping a quarter inch, wish I didn't run my sprinkler at 4am. Sun is coming out. Steamy already. Nascar at 1 while floating in the pool today!
  5. Beautiful morning here. 58.0 for the low, currently 62.0/58.0 at 8:40 am with partly cloudy skies.
  6. Low of 65. Looks like any real action down this way may not occur until after sundown. Then comes the relief, setting up a beautiful couple of days.
  7. Could be a decent storm day. Looks like could put a damper on the White House ufc event lol
  8. Already four 95-degree days and one 100. We're gonna post ugly number this summer, like 15 or more 95, five 100 and one 105. The 90-plus number will be hideous.
  9. @csnavywx Brought up the off-equator WWBs a couple of weeks ago: “We ain't getting a CP or "basin wide" event. Too much off-equator WWB activity, which focuses WWV onto the equator via Eckman transport and causes EKWs to break and surface later. If you want a CP/basin wide or w/e, you def want your bursts narrowly focused with some trade wind resistance like we had in the '99-'22 era. There was arguably a bit of that left in the '23/'24 event but we've had no issues killing off the trades, even well away from the equator. This is *much closer* to the '72-'98 environment in that respect. I can't be the only one who remembers how tough it was to kill off the trades even in the '15/'16 event. It languished for a while in the summer because of it and we had two false starts ('12 and '14) before that one took off. We are miles away from that.”
  10. Maybe some interest with this tool from the NC Climate Office. https://products.climate.ncsu.edu/weather/station-reviewer/ Used Mt Mitchell State Park as an example. https://products.climate.ncsu.edu/weather/station-reviewer/?station=MITC&period=YTD
  11. If we're having an el nino that's supposedly going off the charts, then I don't expect the PDO to repeat the pattern of the last 2 years. If a record-breaking el nino can't flip the PDO, then it's time to start getting concerned that the -PDO is going to be permanent. Quite frankly, if a record-breaking el nino doesn't break the -PDO, I don't know what will.
  12. I wouldn't say busted completely. I was driving up to Mt Airy to attend the Blue Ridge Baptist Camp Meeting where a friend was preaching. The clouds were looking ominous and all heck let loose just past where 52 breaks off to go into the town. I'm 73 and I have never ever had to pull off the highway because I couldn't see...until then. Five feet was the furthest that I could see in front of me. I was expecting to run into a car or get hit from behind. I found a side road to exit off onto to wait out the storm. When I got back onto the highway there was debris scattered everywhere, with up to 4 inch branches down. I'm a storm spotter and I'd definitely classify that as a severe storm.
  13. Today
  14. Crickets in here. Models don't look super interesting for today. Hrrr develops a line of storm over DC and moves east. It looks pretty strong down near oc. It has the line coming through the lowlands around 9pm. I love a nice evening storm. Hopefully everyone gets a good soaking. NAM is congrats PA line and north.
  15. Goose eggs here from those storms yesterday. Watering my garden & lawn, so it will pour tonight. Overnight low of 72.
  16. The spring WWB data was just released. This event is interesting in that the WWBs were displaced a little further north and west off the equator than 2015 and 1997. Those events were focused right on the equator. 2023 was driven by the unusual WWB closer to South America. Also note the weaker zonal flow east of Japan with the strong ridging there driving the -PDO. Even though the WWB average was weaker than 2015 and 1997, the upper ocean warming has been faster especially near Nino 3.4. https://psl.noaa.gov/data/atmoswrit/map/
  17. 6z GFS keeps the northern half of NC under 1/2” QPF through end of June. Euro would’ve been the same if it didn’t develop and slide an inland hurricane through, lmao
  18. Looks like the warmth backs off starting Monday with temperatures closer to seasonable for the next 5 to 10 days. Could still sneak in a few 90° days along the way. But most days probably staying in the 80s after this current heatwave ends.
  19. Same here, just torched. Hoping for some rain out of tonight’s front passing
  20. If you dont believe me, then maybe you'll believe the american meteorological society. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/wefo/25/4/2010waf2222363_1.xml
  21. We've been fine with rain up at Pit2. I'm really hoping to get some here on the south coast though........the "lawn" at the new Pit is a disaster. The scourge of the neighborhood. lol
  22. 57 degrees this morning. Lets see what the day brings.
  23. Probably flash flood potential in NNe too along with the SVR that Vortex noted.
  24. Thursday is looking particularly interesting and it's truly worth keeping an eye on. Keyword elevated mixed layer. That's the main dynamic that keeps us safe out here east of the mighty mississipp and why we almost never see the big outbreaks the central and western united states sees. If it truly surges out ahead, this absolutely could be one for the record books. Contrary to popular belief It's not the mountains, the ocean breeze or lack of unmodified gulf air, thst prevents Central and Western type outbreaks from occurring this far east . EML lag is the true culprit. if we have the EML we're capable of achieving Central and Western United States type indices ,including those gargantuan fat capes in excess of 4000jkg that the MA/NE only see every thirty to forty years.
