    I think it nicely fits the general idea that the more significant threat will overall stay north of DC.
  2. high risk
    Thanks! But I'm tallying this as a loss. SPC is more aggressive than I am....
  3. high risk
    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.
  4. high risk
    yeah, huge discrepancy between 18z NAM3 and recent HRRR runs.
  5. high risk
    No.
  6. high risk
    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.
  7. high risk
    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.

    Thanks, but I'm more easily impressed than they are.

    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).

    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.
  11. high risk
    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.
  12. high risk
    yeah, although NAM synoptics for Tuesday don't match up well with the GFS. NAM front is slower.
  13. high risk
    12z nam nest in surprisingly perfect agreement.
  14. high risk
    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.
  15. high risk
    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
  16. high risk
    not sure why the polygon extends so far south, given the east movement
  17. high risk
    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.

    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.
  19. high risk
    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.
  20. high risk
    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.
  21. high risk
    That's a super nice picture! But I assume you're looking north, and we're seeing the light out AHEAD of the storm on the right side. In the referenced picture, I have to assume that the person is supposedly looking west as the storm arrives, and the light we're seeing is around the southwest flank of the cell. I just don't see how it could have possibly been light in that direction with no break in the line.
  22. high risk
    that's the one. I'm completely skeptical, as the rotation yesterday was embedded in a line, and I don't see how there would have been brightness on either side. That looks like a photoshopped HP supercell from the plains, taken at sunset.
  23. high risk
    The fake photos are out in full force today. Justin Berk's FB page has a shot that is supposed to be of the storm approaching Columbia yesterday. It's clearly a plains HP supercell at sunset photoshopped in.
  24. high risk
    Yeah, I was watching the radar late, and they almost made it! But the timing of the front was a few hours off for us.
  25. high risk
    @kmlwx We were not in lockstep with today's storms. Please get your act together for the next Step 2 event.
