    I've installed a few battery (only) back-ups. Believe it or not, Briggs and Stratton was the brand I installed. They make battery back up modules for some reason. Anyway, I don't think they are great for a stand alone system. They are super expensive and obviously will run out if there is a long outage (more than a day or 2). But, if your power company charges a higher rate during peak times (3-10 pm), you can program the transfer switch to allow you to use battery power during those times and then charge them with grid power overnight when it's cheaper. So there's that... If money was no option, the perfect system would be a combo of solar and battery. The panels power your house and charge the batteries during the day and you run off battery power for the evenings/overnight. Wouldn't use much grid power during spring/summer/fall.

    Showers and thundershowers are possible during the weekend. Some of the thunderstorms could bring flooding downpours and strong winds. The greatest risk is tomorrow night and Sunday. Highs will generally reach the lower 80s through the middle of next week. Additional showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday night into Wednesday. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.4°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.8°C for the week centered around July 1. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +2.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.52°C. The ongoing strong El Niño will continue to strengthen through the summer. The SOI was -27.09 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.683 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 55% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal July (1991-2020 normal). July will likely finish with a mean temperature near 78.0° (0.5° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.5° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

    Smoke has vanished in Vienna.
  6. weatherwiz
    18z HRRR pretty ominous
  7. canderson
    A SPC 45% damaging wind probability is … high Next Tuesday to me even looks like a higher chance of severe. Have a Death Cab For Cutie concert at Merriweather Tuesday night and already and making plans to not go.

    84/47 ... lot of mid 40s dps. Our source tomorrow is behind a warm boundary smearing through circa 10am to 2 ... after which we sector wedge 88/72's like lower Michigan - maybe. Getting from here to there seems like a warm over instability op tonight.

    Yeah, northern edge has pushed south into eastern PA and NJ. WV looks relatively clear. But a firehose of smoke pointed right at central MD
  10. kdxken
    Stuck in a holding pattern. NY airspace closed. Probably some douch bag's son is late for a golf lesson.
  11. SnowenOutThere
    Looks like MD has the worst of the plume on vis sat.

    Ratcheted up quickly. $500 dollar voucher was the initial offer.

    Big time boom or bust potential tomorrow. It all hinges on how fast can we clear out after the warm front lifts through
  15. Today
  16. Stormlover74
    Enhanced severe risk as well
  17. Stormlover74
    Flood watch issued for most..city on west
  18. WxWatcher007
    I love those offers
  19. yotaman
    95/85 feels like 126. I think that is the highest feels like I have recorded. Walked outside and my glasses fogged over.

    Your Modoki Nino composite has cool anomalies in the east greater than warm anomalies in Nino 4. That's not accurate. Actually, a Modoki Nino typically has no negative anomalies anywhere in ENSO. +0.4c max in the west vs -0.6c max in the east is not an El Nino.

    Just eyeballing out my office window, it had improved a bit around 11am-12pm but has gotten thicker again since

    Smoke can do a bunch of stuff but the two things that you see most often are: 1. Smoke can create differential heating on smoke vs. non smoke areas. Causing pseudo surface cold fronts. 2. Mid/Upper level smoke can absorb sunlight and transfer that energy to the surrounding environment; creating warmer mid-levels while also reducing surface heating. Both combined makes caps more robust than would otherwise be expected.

    Pass. I threw out a crap ton of groceries the other week after the power outage. Can't afford to keep doing so
  24. kdxken
    I would. Actually they were offering a thousand, hotel and transportation and flight out tomorrow. I almost bit

    Jet extension is going full steam in the southern hemisphere winter, with copious amounts of snow in the Andes:
  26. snowfan
    BWI VIS at 2mi. Not a huge improvement.

    As Ditty likes to say. "Finally some COC"
