  1. Hmmm the 1.3 degree velocity scans show some inflow into the Carroll County cell. Might be enough to sustain it?
  2. Saw that. It's our hail Mary at this point. Just not enough sun and the convection of the Carolinas is probably robbing us somewhat as well.
  3. Looks like a complete bust unless something changes right quick.
  4. Looks like the Martinsburg cell is the only show today. Just not enough surface instability.
  5. Temp spiked at home from 70° to 77° in under 20 min, but the convective temp is 89°. We're going to come up short in that arena, if our clouds just broke 2 or 3 hours earlier this would've been a great setup. It's not going to take much.
  6. Keedysville and Clarksville mesonet sites support the clearing in visible satellite. The solar radiation spiking quickly.
  7. We're staring down another ho hum severe season. It's almost June and we've yet to have a decent event.
  8. Significant downward trend overnight. Looks like a run of the mill event now at best. This is why you wait until the day of to get invested.
  9. Strong convection, especially nocturnal, will often persist long than what the CAMs have. April 26-27, 2011 is a perfect example of this. There were supercells from Alabama that tracked into South Central PA and still dropped tornadoes along the way.
  10. The Keedysville mesonet site in Washington County, just north of Antietam Battlefield, only gusted to M36 mph just a minute ago. Pretty clear there is a surface inversion developing that is prohibiting the winds aloft from getting to the surface.
  11. Best to wait until 10 am - 12 pm tomorrow. We'll have everything lined up then. For now, I remain cautiously optimistic.
  12. 00z RAOB for IAD coming in: 2200 CAPE and LL lapse rates of -8 c/km. That Culpepper storm is going to sustain for a bit.
  13. Wonder if this line overturns all the instability tonight.
  14. Very impressive wind reports coming out with this line!
  15. Some impressive wind damage reports coming out of the mountains.
  16. Somewhat interested in tomorrow. The system coming across Missouri, Illinois, and Missouri seems energetic and is producing a decent number of tornadoes. We'll see what the visible satellite imagery tomorrow looks like.
  17. 18z HRRR seems to be pooling some low level moisture better east of I-81. Good to see.
  18. Flying from Midway to BWI this afternoon through this mess should be fun.
  19. Makes sense. Don't think a 10% is needed, but we could definitely get a 30% wind tomorrow.
