    Classic elevated convection.

    Yes there are. Every county in the state will get them. The three biggest challenges with this project are finding appropriate locations, coordinating the land use agreements with the owners, and getting good weather to prep the site and deploy the equipment. We just installed the first urban mesonet tower in Baltimore City last week and it was a tough process to get a site that had enough open space to capture the nearby environment appropriately.

    I could stand a quiet spring to get more mesonet stations in the ground.

    It's hard to be excited beyond a day or 30 hours out from the event. Unless you have some big Bermuda high set up with northwest flow, there are so many variables that can muck up severe weather this time of year.

    Just give me April 4th clear so we can install a mesonet station in PG county.

    Dewpoints really crashing fast behind this front. Tomorrow could be interesting.

    Tides, weather, unexpected events popping up. That's a safe estimate. There's no way they're going to work at night.

    I think the Orioles are good.

    Sneaky wildfire risk west of I-81 this afternoon and tomorrow.

    Both the HRRR and NAM nudged east overnight, and they may be a bit too far west based off recent radar and satellite trends. The surface winds on the ASOS and mesonet stations are all northwest, which would reinforce the belief the system is a bit east of the original forecast. It's probably going to be an iffy opening day, but the Orioles could get the game in.

    M5.08" for the month. RSTM2 COOP.

    Same.

    New site to bookmark as we approach hurricane season

    The bridge will be rebuilt. Hazmat can't navigate the harbor tunnel, so bulk carriers frequently used the FSK bridge. If this were converted to a tunnel, then it would cause even more of a choke point for logistical movement of hazmat commodities coming from Curtis Bay refineries and warehouses.

    Couple of key points: Ship appears to have lost power twice within 30 minutes of departing the port of Baltimore. Pilot on ship immediately called coast guard, declared may day, and advised bridge be shut down. You can see this on the video where traffic appears to stop suddenly. This occurred less than 7 minutes before impact. Police shut down both directions of the bridge as soon as they could. For context, about 32,000 cars traverse the structure each day. Had this been even 4:30 or 5:00 am it would have been a totally different scenario

    The 4am wake up call for that was surreal. Weather isn't going to cooperate too much after tonight, with possible coastal flooding, rain, low ceilings, and wind.
  19. Eskimo Joe
    Good point. Maybe the models haven't taken this into account? /s

    Our Lenten Rose's have finally come into their own. Amazing sustained blooms.

    Wait, what?

    Every station mesonet in Maryland recorded a perfect solar radiation curve today, with each site recording a daily maximum of over 900W/m².

    Garrett County got into the teens this morning. Impressive.
