  1. Because they run the team like a consulting firm. It's a business. They're in it for the money, not the winning.
  2. We had three out of four things on my checklist: 1.) Anomalous low pressure to our NW passing during prime heating. 2.) Strong jet streak 3.) Strong EML 4.) Strong surface heating. So many times we hype leading up to an event, only to have an anemic 18z RAOB out of IAD. Not so yesterday, we were about as primed as you can get for August.
  3. CTP is apparently investigating the area for a possible tornado. Makes sense. There was a decent, sustained mesocyclone moving through that area.
  4. Per State Highway, minimum of 2 to 3 days. Have to get transformers with high enough amperage and coordinate with telecom companies to get everything re-strung.
  5. DCA might as well be Tampa Bay at this point
  6. Feels like an early taste of autumn. I wonder if we luck out this year with persistent blocking and finally have a legit winter?
  7. Hampstead fire department's carnival grounds were hit pretty hard. Smart move for them to not hold the carnival last night. I'm convinced there was a tornado with that warning just north of Manchester.
  8. BGE had a sinkhole open up under one of their trucks on Salem Bottom road last night. It flipped the truck with the crew in it in the middle of the night. I know they suspended operations for the night after that so I'm sure they're going to be slower with power restoration.
  9. Moderate Risk 100% verified: https://nwschat.weather.gov/lsr/#LWX/202308070400/202308080359/0110
  10. Moderate Risk was easily justified, IMO. Looks like at least 2 tornadoes in PA today. LWX catching up with LSRs now.
  11. Those poles were replaced last December from the big wind storm. They're new. We rand a structure collapse call there during that event.
  12. CAMs were spot on. Looks like a differential heating boundary that just allowed everything to go BOOM.
  13. Several calls for trees down on I-83 in Parkton, CC: @mappy
  14. I'd imagine LWX is so busy slinging warnings & updating TAFs they can't LSR everything right now.
  15. The New Windsor to Westminster corridor in Carroll County got whacked pretty good.
  16. Kind of surprised that Thurmont storm doesn't have a tornado warning.
