Florida's stay at home order excludes churches, and excludes local municipalities doing any tougher restrictions of their own.
Florida's gonna make New York's numbers look like rookie numbers.
They already from a confirmed case number. God's Waiting Room.

Yeah that is definitely a disturbing trend.
We know of the lag in deaths after the number of cases stats to lax, but you wonder what this is doing to regions of the world right now in terms of knowledge and family lines of succession, etc.

Spain / UK approaching 9% mortality rate of infected persons. Oof.

Some decent forecasted reflectivity structures in some of the CAMs for later this afternoon, especially in the HRRR and especially over northern VA. Instability is meager, but freezing levels are low, and low-level lapse rates are good. Would not be surprised to see a little small hail and perhaps even a lightning strike or two in the strongest cores.
We tend to do well on high lapse rate/shear days in these parts.

Good. Now let's get cracking on that third span.

My bad. Thinking stupid on my part. I still question a 15% mortality rate as I think it will be much lower but we probably will never know the true number as more then likely many cases of infection will go undetected. Best way of getting a read on that is probably to try to figure out the total infection rate for the country through modeling and base it off that.
Yea, it should be noted that Italy is going to be the far outlier, maybe Spain breaks the double digit mortality rate too, but we should fare somewhat better in the US if the public takes this seriously. It's entirely possible, and this is just my opinion here, that we see things return to normal in time for Memorial Day.

I completely support the Diocese call to stop all masses a few weeks ago but I'm disappointed I won't be able to attend live mass for Palm Sunday this weekend & Easter Sunday the following weekend -- its the holiest time of the year for Christians and I always look forward to the music and rejoice at Easter Sunday mass. I do find myself spending more time on Sundays reflecting and praying for our nation while I set aside time to watch the livestream of mass on my iPad.
Philly has Catholic mass on 6 ABC and broadcasts services from St. Peter & Paul Basilica on the radio. I'm not sure why other cities don't do this. Oklahoma is broadcasting services and Texas, somehow, decided to keep all their churches open.

So you seriously see 9+ million deaths in Italy? I know they were hit hard but nothing I see remotely suggests such numbers.
I never said that. 15% mortality of the number of infected cases.

Italian Ministry of Health last night announced on NHK World News (The Japanese version of PBS, a reliable source) that deaths reported so far have almost exclusively been from hospitals. Nursing homes and deaths at home, etc. largely have not been counted because the system is back up so much. It would not surprised me to see something like a 15% mortality rate in Italy when all is said and done.

Did VA exempt liquor stores from the closures? I sure hope so.
Liquor is food so it's still on unless you didn't realize the 21st Amendment is a thing...PA I'm looking at you.

Ok now hear me out.
1. Trillions of tons of dry ice fired into the 850-925mb column.
2. Establish a trade deal with Canada to import snow to cool off surface temps.
Let it snow.

This should finally shut down all daycares across the state. Some were STILL open.
Some daycares are getting waivers if they provide daycare to essential employees.

I doubt much changes immediately, but as time goes on and as cases go up, yeah... checkpoints seem like a real possibility.

24 hours later. Still wedged.
The wedge held firm like 10 miles south of my home. You could feel the warmer breeze but then the sun set and we got socked in with fog again.
-
I think we're going to wedge out the wedge. Winds are SW at 7mph now in Reisterstown.

Just went for a long walk around the neighborhood and couldn’t will the sun out yet. Still socked in with clouds and 53. A few days back forecast high was 69. We will be lucky to make it to 59 up here.
I think we're good even up in Baltimore County. Note on the satellite how there's low level flow now switching out of the south. As the mid level junk is clearing out the lower level fog and such is eroding in southern Maryland. It'll take longer than forecast, and that may be due to the models lacking daya from less commercial aircraft. Until this whole COVID thing blows over I'd take the low end of guidance and lean more towards nowcasting.

What was a dead calm morning now showing some sign of life. Bit of a south wind picking up here in Reisterstown and fog is breaking up a bit. Really hope we break out, my lawn is awake and the yard needs some work.

Italy back up to over 700 fatalities/day...still kicking about a 10% mortality rate.
