  1. Do you think this is an I-95 and east event, or are the western suburbs in play?
  2. The old Euro mid range high QPF bias strikes again.
  3. It's not unreasonable to be pessimistic on snow chances in winter anymore, especially south of 40N. We've been in such a long term snow drought that it's almost safer to forecast Above Normal temps and Below Normal snowfall. You stand a good chance of being right most years outside of New England. Heck, I could see this being a shutout in the snowfall department south of DC this winter. Several folks on here appear to have already punted December and the first half of January!
  4. Issuing a winter outlook, even a preliminary one, in August is dicey.
  5. 75°+ dews will do that!
  6. M1.8" Clear Spring mesonet site.
  7. Same. Seems like we need Above Normal in Alaska for central and especially eastern CONUS to get Below Normal.
  8. This line is booking east. Latest warnings from Sterling have movement at 50 mph.
  9. Definitely looking like a non zero tornado threat west of US 15 this evening. Mesoanalysis and mesonet data showing some nice backing of winds and surge in dews.
  10. Per SPC mesoanalysis, there's a pretty solid are of instability cresting the Allegheny Front.
  11. Use NAM MOS and HRRR together and you knew when the flip from SN -> IP -> RA would occur 90% of the time. That combination consistently schooled the GFS and Euro inside 30 hrs.
  12. Latest HRRR puts a legit bow through Frederick/Loudoun/Montgomery/Carroll counties right at sunset.
  13. Not sure if this is better off in the ENSO threat or here, but what are the telltale signs that an El Nino or La Nina are coupling with the atmosphere?
  14. The Canadian tries to paint a 2" - 3.5" stripe of rainfall right along Mason-Dixon tomorrow afternoon. South of I-70 is less than an inch.
  15. Question for the mets/long range folks. When would we expect to see such a large/powerful El Nino begin to couple with the atmosphere? Wouldn't that yield more precipitation events in this neck of the wood by now since it's so robust?
  16. 12z HRRR had a general 1" - 2" regionwide, with a narrow strip of 3" - 4" near Laurel.
  17. Just keep it hot and humid until Sept 12th, when I get back from the beach. Then we can cool off for good.
  18. They're all in Morgan Run on the trees
  19. Getting all you snow in 24 hours and have it melt off in two days would be heart breaking.
