  1. Yes! Based on the 12z HRRR and NAM nest, tomorrow is a SLGT risk for sure, and I wouldn't rule out eventually getting to ENH.
  2. embedded sups are definitely possible, but with a deep PBL with accompanying inverted-V sounding, it would be really tough to get any rotation down to the ground.
  3. That's one heck of a squall line on the 12z NAM nest. I'm going to conveniently ignore that the only area where a solid 450 mile line falls apart is Howard and Montgomery Counties.....
  4. Looks like it would be a sharp cutoff for the better stuff, so the Montgomery-Howard corridor could still do quite well. But yeah, this has been an annoying couple of days. We actually get into some impressive flow aloft tomorrow, so while instability will be less, it has potential to be better than the MRGL currently shown.
  5. I think it nicely fits the general idea that the more significant threat will overall stay north of DC.
  6. Thanks! But I'm tallying this as a loss. SPC is more aggressive than I am....
  7. Those unimpressive 00z CAM runs were likely outliers. These recent HRRR runs fit the earlier progs - I'm still in for an enhanced day. I'm thinking 2% TOR, 15 % HAIL, and 30% WIND on the new Day 1.
  8. yeah, huge discrepancy between 18z NAM3 and recent HRRR runs.
  9. perhaps some modest supercell structure, but the low level wind profile is meh, and the 88/70 environment would cause it to quickly gust out.
  10. I don't see tomorrow as a MDT risk day here. Comparing the supercell parade in PA today, 1) The overall strength of the wind field in the column will be weaker here tomorrow 2) The low-level shear won't be nearly as strong 3) We are going to be much hotter tomorrow than in PA today, meaning that any supercells will gust out and lead to upscale growth. I just don't think we'll have a fully discrete mode. There will be SVR around, but the ENH covers the threat pretty well.
  11. Thanks, but I'm more easily impressed than they are.
  12. FWIW, most of the guidance today actually shows us making a run at 90 again on Thursday. The trigger mechanism for Thursday storms isn't as defined, but there is definitely some threat of storms later in the day (possibly severe).
  13. I'm late to the party, but kmlwx and I are back in synch. I'm out for today but very much in for tomorrow. I agree with SPC that the low-level winds are progged to be a bit too crappy (and the boundary will be a bit too hot) for tornadoes, but supercells and line segments are a good bet.
  14. I *think* so. NAM has a nice line of storms on the front, so if we speed up the front, that might end up over our area.
  15. yeah, although NAM synoptics for Tuesday don't match up well with the GFS. NAM front is slower.
  16. I think it's a slight risk day for sure. 00z NAM nest is completely disinterested, but the HRRR looks better. Deep layer shear is impressive, and I agree that a couple of supercells are possible. The tornado threat should be extremely low, though, due to the hot boundary layer. The T/Td spreads will certainly promote some nice downdrafts and a wind damage threat.
  17. perhaps, but it comes all the way to the southern tip of Howard County edit: there appears to be a gust front on the southwest flank, so development further south is certainly possible
  18. not sure why the polygon extends so far south, given the east movement
  19. I think I'm going to have to eat some crow and acknowledge that the Columbia picture is legit, although I'm not going down without complaining about the panoramic distortion. Back to storm threats, I'm keeping an eye on late Sunday. NAM nest is inconsistent with timing, but some cells may develop nearby on some sort of lee trough feature, and then a line may approach during the evening. Deep layer shear (no directional shear, though) and instability would support some damaging wind threat.
  20. If you do get in touch with this guy, please let us know! @Trekasec, it was definitely bowing a bit (sort of an embedded HP supercell thing) - see radar image above - but I'm more concerned about the light on the left side of the picture than the rounded look. With the line extending well to the southwest, I'm not sure how so much light would be visible on the left side of the storm, unless the direction is distorted there.
  21. If it's legit, the panoramic and "big lens" effects must really be screwing me up. I still don't see how the light exists on the left side if this is looking west, unless that bright area is looking south and the panorama distorts that. The radar image shows no way to see clear sky to the west.
  22. These pictures look more like those from AmericanWxFreak, with muted light out ahead of the system, although I have to say that there is more light on the left side of the first picture than I expected to see. Not totally sure of the direction here.
