    After sunrise but before noon. Sometimes when we get these remnant showers/weak storms entering early on a day progged for severe weather they have just enough juice left to spark a rogue weak tornado or some other kind of pre-game action.

    Keep an eye on those cells in western NC. They've been having some tendency to spin. We might get a few early AM tors.
  3. Eskimo Joe
    Yea tomorrow has sporadic, but significant flash flooding all over it.
  4. Eskimo Joe
    Tomorrow seems so dicey. Leaning towards a meh, but hopefully we can get a W.

    Two decent events in April 2011: April 16, 2011: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20110416 April 27, 2011: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20110427

    Best thing to do is walk away from this for 24 hours and remain emotionally disinvested. Check back with the 06z update on Friday and wait for the first few visible satellite images before committing.

    Cat 3 into Point Lookout, then hook left into IAD. Stall it there for 18 hours then loop it back due east slowly or this season's a bust.

    NWS has been doing that for some time. It's incumbent on the spotter to let them know of your new address.

    For the past few years it seems the axis is heavy precip from summertime mid latitude cyclones has been to trend further north and east in the 12-24 hours leading up to the event.

    It's worthless without the PNA though.

    We do well with CAPE that's elevated in these parts. Given the increased amount of urban infrastructure, the nocturnal stratiform rain is better for the waterways. Less thermal shock, less chance of flash flooding.

    Sitting at Ott House in Emmittsburg and it definitely has //that feel// up here.

    Headed to Cumberland for the weekend. Surprised at the red box. Hopefully I catch something in the mountains.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    Woke up to clouds and rain. Lololol

    Let's bake and get days in the 100s.
  16. Eskimo Joe
    Watch us bust with a mid level cloud deck and never get above the low 80s.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. Couple of hard learned lessoned learned about convective days here: 1.) Always take the under. You won't be dissapointed. 2.) There are a lot of ways we lose in these parts, mostly from terrain and water boundaries. 3.) If we get a good EML/mid level lapse rates, it helps to overcome the aforementioned local issues. 4.) We don't do multiple rounds of storms well, unless you're angling for flooding.

    I completely agree with this assessment. I'm a big fan of not "over forecasting" the event. There is nothing wrong with waking up to a strongly worded slight risk then adding the ENH, or MOD at the day goes on. I think that's why the April 27, 2011 event in Alabama was so well forecast because SPC and the local WFOs just upped the confidence as the event drew close.
  19. Eskimo Joe
    D2 ENH is the new D2 MOD in these parts. Oy.

    Howard and Baltimore County schools eating crow.

    Decent mamatus in Reisterstown from that DC cell.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    The one good thing we still have going for us is that we have a decent bit of shear and low level lapse rates. My temp has rebounded to 75 degrees so it's possible we could see a few beefy cells, but yea this morning's activity really capped any potential for a high end event in these parts.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    zzzz...next
  25. Eskimo Joe
    That crapvection entering DC and Baltimore metro might be the kiss of death for this afternoon if we don't get some respectable sunshine behind it.
