    Watch us bust with a mid level cloud deck and never get above the low 80s.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    zzzz...next

    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.

    Naw the SWODY MOD is our curse. Going to wait until midday tomorrow before I decide where I'm in or out.
  14. Eskimo Joe
    Yea. I'm with you. Expect to be underwhelmed and you won't be disappointed in these parts.

    Stop living and dying by sim reflectivity.

    If we manage good sun tomorrow, I could see a low end MOD Risk for wind. The potential is definitely there.

    I'll be fishing Rocky Gap State Park next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Hoping it's warm and gets the fish into the shallows.

    @GramaxRefugee our fig tree is leafing out too! We opted for a Chicago Black, what kind is yours?

    The PDS Blue Box in the midwest is insane. 2012 Derecho on steroids. For @yoda yea that's the only thing I can think of...storms bubbling up along the edge of a high...IIRC the 2012 Derecho was an impulse riding the edge of a pretty big high pressure system and since it wasn't an airmass change it kept temps from cooling off post event.

    Looks like a broken SW -> NE line of reports trickling in from the Stuarts Draft tornado warning. Definitely possible something went through there.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Oooo...spicy. Maybe something went through here?
  25. Eskimo Joe
    That cluster of tornado warned storms might make a run at far southern Maryland tonight. Even if they lose their tornadic potential, they would probably bring some gully washers.
