    Without a stout EML and solid cold pool to maintain continuous forward momentum, it's almost impossible to sustain an MCS or derecho over the mountains.

    Stick a fork in it for any decent action in MD tomorrow.

    Pretty clear surface boundary pushed along I-270 from that warned cell in Montgomery.

    NAM is an elevated convection snoozefest.

    I can't wait for the heat. My tomatoes aren't liking this cool weather.

    Looks like we may get hot soon:

    Depending on the storm motion, this could turn into a flash flood event if the book ends of the vortex setup a training event. Similar to the July, 2019 event. That was an interesting day. Early morning MCS blew through then left a boundary for an afternoon long track EF-0 tornado. Was my first damage assessment for a tornado.

    Folks, the 2012 Derecho was the example of the high end potential in these parts. The AFD written just before the event showed the 860 temps were +24 on the 00z IAD RAOB, an event that only occurred 6 times in the 52 years of IAD sounding history. There is absolutely no way we even come close to that potential tomorrow. Best case scenario is a solid MCS with elevated convection and very vivid lightning.

    Tomorrow looks like one of those days where you get two rogue supercells drifting through the area and they get warned with no watch box so it catches people by surprise.
  12. Eskimo Joe
    Yea that's nice. This is a setup that I'm not going to kick out of bed.

    //time sensitive// Check out the left moving low topped supercell in Garrett County going clank clank into the Laurel Highlands. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Virginia-comp_radar-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

    /Mid Atlantic Severe In all honesty, if you take a look at the 0.5 degree reflectivity and velocity in the hour leading up to this event, you'll notice two or three subtle boundaries across Charles, Montgomery, Howard, and Calvert counties. Might have been enough to touch things off tonight.

    Howard County took a decent hit tonight:

    2nd TOR

    Might (probably) warned off BWI terminal. Just saw an LSR come out of a tree on a house in that area.

    Cell near LaPlata is starting to get "the look".

    M0.2" Reisterstown from yesterday's rain. Very light, dodged the heavier cells in the evening. Still, the lawn rejoices.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    Bass ponds taking a beating with the lack of rain. Really tough fishing today.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Siri, tell me what starts with D and ends in echo
  22. Eskimo Joe
    We fight so many subtle geographic features here. These can be overcome with good EML and shear. Throw in a NW flow event and you're talking dirty.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Yea it's starting to get crispy up here in Baltimore County.

    Since this has been posted elsewhere on Twitter this week, guess it's okay to mention it here. For the past year, planning has been underway to develop a statewide mesonet in Maryland. Finishing touches on this program will occur this year, with a plan for 70+ stations to be installed over the next decade. Data will eventually be publicly available, similar to Oklahoma mesonet. Additional information will be coming out this summer.

    Damn that boundary won't quit. Just firing more stuff from Fairfax into Montgomery.
