Whoa: The stability comes into play in another way, too. Model soundings yield very high shear in the lowest 3kft. There could be supercell structures form as the eastern edge/side of the dry slot moves across the Lower Susq. With low LCLs (very moist environment), there is a chc for an isolated tornado or two. Temps should get into the 60s in the SE as the sun should break through at times, esp late in the day in the dry slot. That would help CAPE climb closer to 1000J. The SPC MRGL risk is painted into our SErn 6-8 counties for this very reason. If we can get upright convection (even shallow), there is a risk for svr gusts and even tornadoes. As the afternoon continues, the favorable convergence of all the svr params will be waning/breaking up.

Right behind you at 1.86" and adding up very quickly. It is pouring.

There is a firehouse set up now coming out of MD directly into western Lanco - I wouldn't be surprised if some of us get close to 3" by noon. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=LWX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

1.72" of rain so far with numerous lightning strikes shaking the house, one in particular was VERY close around 8:15am.

I think today might be nicer than yesterday was. More sun this afternoon.

Here's the snippet: In the wake of the storm system, winds will turn westerly Thursday night and intensify on Friday. The tight pressure gradient, or difference in pressure, between the storm system and an area of high pressure over the Southern States will be the culprit for some "spookily high" wind gusts of 45-50 mph on Halloween. Sustained winds should be on the order of 20-30 mph.

@canderson - MU calling for winds up to 50 mph on Friday...

I get it, and I'm sorry.

That's what happens as we get closer to winter.

28.8 this morning - first 20s of the season. Let's go!

Good god is Melissa a beast right now.

Coldest temp of the season this morning here in Maytown, checking in at 33.4 degrees First frost of the season here at my house, and it was a doozy. Solid blanket of white. Interestingly, I saw no other frost outside of Maytown on my way to work. It's been the exact opposite several times over the past few weeks. Had to scrape my car windows before leaving for work. No, I do not start my car and go back in the house. I like to be out and scrape. (with the engine defrosting)

Yeah, that's unacceptable. It was a comfortable 61 in our house this morning.

Now that all of the corn has been husked the heat can radiate out efficiently at night.

I mean, I really do understand. And I sympathize especially with people that suffer from seasonal depression. For me, the onset of longer nights symbolizes the beginning of the holidays and our "snow season." Also helps me transition from lightweight athletic shorts to something more appropriate for the season...lightweight athletic shorts. (with a light hoodie)
