  1. Euro 2m temps always seem overdone.
  2. Broadcast mets need to stop with the 10 day rainfall forecasts. They should know better.
  3. Montgomery County tornado path now updated to 26 miles.
  4. Yea that June 2013 event was my first damage assessment. I've always leaned towards the mini tornado alley along the Frederick/Montgomery County line. Perhaps it's Parr's Ridge, or something else, but hopefully these mesonet stations will help diagnose this in the future.
  5. We're putting a mesonet site in Dickerson off Elmer School Road....probably would've helped with that cell. My ultimate wish is to have the Maryland Mesonet install some profiler sites like what New York does. More Lidar soundings that can be ingested through MADIS by SPC and NWS.
  6. Yea the 00z balloon from Sterling was nuts. Supercell composite of over 20, with a fat CAPE profile. Really wish the NWS was funded better so they could launch special 18z soundings on these kind of days. I wonder if that would have caught the potential a bit better?
  7. It's amazing how we can really "luck out" on these high dynamic days with meager instability. If we had another hour or so of decent sun we'd probably would have had another half dozen tornadoes.
  8. Video of Sykesville tornado yesterday. https://twitter.com/ShannonLillyTV/status/1798658497703526483
  9. Dews are crashing behind this line. Frostburg and Keedysville mesonet sites showing wind shift to NW and Td racing to the low 60s.
  10. I watched it from Damascus FD, then along Day Ridge Place. Base was flat, some scud, no lowering or rotation.
  11. Where can I get the GIS data for the warning polygons from 6/5? Anybody got a link?
  12. I'm on US 29 and John's Hoplins Rd and that cell is decent from the ground.
  13. Second cell near Eagle Harbor, PG County looks like it's trying.
  14. Yea that's a solid cell. The CAMs yesterday evening highlighted that spot for a small UHI track so it makes sense.
  15. Until we see a favorable pacific, no on should forecast above normal snowfall or below normal temps. It's a fools errand.
  16. I'm in the market for a small window AC unit for our bedroom. It's on the SW side of the house and never cools down during the summer. We don't want to run the AC on full tilt, but need the room cool. The only problem is that we have a low profile window that only opens 10" and is too small for most window units. We got portable air conditioners but they're loud, bulky, and never last more than 2 years. Does anyone possible have an answer to this?
  17. A favorable Pacific. Last winter proved it's the latch key.
  18. Northwest flow is sneaky. This time of year it can bring decent hailers, some nice wet microburst, and picturesque structure.
