  1. New event. Severe Thunderstorm Warning from 5/23/2019 2:26 PM to 3:00 PM EDT for Montgomery County, MD. https://inws.ncep.noaa.gov/a/a.php?i=34171840
  2. Surprised that little blob west of Winchester isnt warned.
  3. Might salvage a good shelf cloud pic or two from this stuff.
  4. Thanks. Might be some low topped gusty stuff with minimal lightning? Whats shear looking like?
  5. Am mobile, what the CAPE, lapse rates and supercell composite like in dc?
  6. New event. Severe Thunderstorm Watch from 5/23/2019 1:02 PM to 8:00 PM EDT for Montgomery County, MD, Carroll County, MD. More information.
  7. I mean, the setup is there but it's super conditional today on all the dominoes falling in symphony. I'm all but out on this, but there might he one or two rogue cells down this way where someone jackpots.
  8. The LWX forecast area averages 3 Enhanced Risks per year and 1 Moderate Risk per 3 years.
  9. You have to update your GR AE and GR Level 3 to the latest version. This is accomplished by going to www (dot) grlevelx (dot) com and then re-downloading the program. Your license key and settings should be saved. Gibson Ridge has a sizeable flaw, IMO, in that that their software programs do not have an option to download and install the latest updates. Hope this helps!
  10. Cue the old adages: ARW = Always Really Wet or Always Really Wild NMM = Not Much Moisture
  11. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a classic severe weather outbreak for PA and NY. You have robust surface heating combined with a dynamic front...terrain aided updrafts could produce some storms pushing classic supercells. I wouldn't be shocked to see a DY1 Moderate risk for parts of PA and NY tomorrow if things come together in the morning.
  12. I look at weather through the lens of my profession. If I'm interested in an event, it means I'll be working in the EOC. To get excited about something more than 30 to 48 hours out is foolhardy to me in my old age.
  13. Indeed. The mid level lapse rates are key because it helps sustain the updrafts and therein overcomes the local features (terrain, subtle bay or sea breeze boundary). All of our big events had a strong EML and respectable mid level lapse rates or remnant tropical system (Isabel in 2003, Ivan in 2004).
  14. Saw a report and pics from Clear Spring, MD of 1.75" hail from that cell. This area can get big hailers when there's a good aid to the updraft. Interestingly enough, that was the same cell which got it's act together and dropped an EF-1 tornado in Lancaster County, PA (injuring 3 people).
  15. Looks pretty meh to me, but weather in general is less and less interesting to me with each passing season. We haven't had a good storm since the derecho.
  16. Big mts. out there aiding updrafts. Looks like a US15 and points west kind of day. Metro areas probably stay dry.
  17. Could be a sneaky severe day today. Good CAPE and some shear.
