    I really hope we get a couple of remnants this year. We need the rain, and not all at once.
  2. Eskimo Joe
    Yea we need a solid 2.5 to 4 inches of rain spread out over a 24 to 48 hour period.

    NOAA had some interesting drone footage posted a few hours ago.

    Frostburg mesonet site got down to 52 degrees last night. Impressive.

    Radar looks.....barren?

    Classic day of decent lightning and probably some real nice downpours.

    Looks like Liz Leitman is on the desk at SPC today. She's solid. Should be a good day for you all.

    Great question. Mesonets are actually hard to design and implement. There are many moving parts and startup funds are often difficult to come by. In Maryland we benefit from having a science minded electorate and state legislature, as well as small number of counties. This results in a project getting off the ground quickly. As for other networks, Wisconsin is building out their mesonet pretty quickly, and Pennsylvania has their first 8 sites going in the ground this summer. I've heard several rumors that Maine is starting one up, but I can't find any official source on that.

    Happy Sunday. We got another station online.

    Hey Baltimore metro folks!

    No significant impacts in Maryland from a nearby TC or TC remnants.

    Watching this weekend from sunny San Diego. Enjoy the derecho and tornado swarm!

    Naw i just want rain. Only M0.15" overnight.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    Fairfax getting rocked. Legit 50 - 60 kt cores showing up just off the surface.

    Leesburg gusted to 43 mph.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    M40 mph wind gust at the Keedysville mesonet site.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    The 00z balloon from IAD shows only 600 j/kg of SBCAPE. This is in no way a "classic" severe weather sounding.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Still about 1,000 j/kg of DCAPE. Maybe we get a few wind reports. Watch seems justified, iMO.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch coming until midnight.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Front Royal just gusted to 47 kts.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Agreed. I just want a steady, soaking rain over several hours.
