From the 1630z SPC: OTHERWISE, STORM-SCALE CLUSTERING AND THE DEGREE OF SHEAR MAY YIELD A COUPLE BOWING SEGMENTS WITH 45-65 KT GUSTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND SWATHS TO THE COAST.

The NWSGBM Headquarters in Mount Holly call for 90mph wind gusts w/ isolated 100mph gusts possible in the Philly metro... which is very impressive considering the center is forecasted to move over the Blue Ridge west of even the DC metro by late in the afternoon. The impacts with this one are going to be truly historic and remembered for the rest of many peoples lives up and down the eastern seaboard.

I just got back from looking at some of the mesoscale guidance for tomorrow and thought: "Hmm... I bet @high risk made an appearance in the severe thread this morning." Now we patiently await the day that we are actually put under your namesake AND it verifies.

Meteorological Fall welcomes us.

GBM Hurricane Headquarters Hurricane Vicky Advisory #48 8am edt Mon Sep 28 2020 ...Wilmington NC currently in the western eyewall of Vicky... 34.3N, 77.5W Max Sustained Winds: 195mph, Gusts: 235mph Moving: N (350*) at 33 mph Min Surface Pressure: 885mb Eye: Closed, 40mi in diameter. Hurricane force winds extend out 150 nmi from the center, Tropical storm force winds extend out 470 nmi from the center.

Nice little low-topped cell in northern Loudoun county with some low-level rotation.

Those storms firing up in NW Pennsylvania look like good candidates for the main event here.

Did you also notice the Day 5 15% risk for us?

Thunder woke me up in Herndon.

Northern Illinois EarthCam chase anyone? SEL6 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 426 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 AM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Eastern Iowa Northern Illinois Far northwest Indiana Far southern Wisconsin Lake Michigan * Effective this Monday morning and evening from 1125 AM until 700 PM CDT. ...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION... * Primary threats include... Widespread damaging winds and scattered significant gusts to 100 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A couple tornadoes possible SUMMARY...A derecho will rapidly progress across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois this afternoon. Widespread severe wind gusts, some of which should reach 80-100 mph are anticipated along the track of the bow. Brief tornadoes are also possible.

But how's your sleep though?...

Mesoscale Discussion 1373 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0300 PM CDT Sat Aug 01 2020 Areas affected...northern Virginia...eastern West Virginia...much of Maryland...and the District of Columbia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 012000Z - 012200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Convection over eastern West Virginia will gradually spread eastward, posing a risk for damaging wind gusts and perhaps an isolated tornado. A WW may eventually be needed pending convective trends. DISCUSSION...Isolated convection has developed across portions of eastern West Virginia over the past hour or so, with one cell showing signs of broad/weak rotation aloft. The airmass supporting these storms has become moderately unstable, with 70s F dewpoints and 80s F surface temperatures resulting in 2000-2500 J/kg along and south of a warm front located from PIT to WAL. The cells are also in a weakly forced synoptic environment, with a mid-level trough located well west of the region. Nevertheless, weak inhibition and buoyancy in tandem with weak surface confluence has fostered initial development in eastern West Virginia. This regime should continue through the evening, with 30-40 knots of deep shear fostering organization. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat with this activity, although a tornado cannot be ruled out given favored cellular storm mode and potential for updraft interactions with the aforementioned warm front. Convective trends are being monitored, and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed especially if a greater concentration of convection can be achieved through nightfall. ..Cook/Bunting.. 08/01/2020

SLGT shifted ENE to the Potomac river. (1300z update)

Tropical tracking + Booze drinking ftw.

Weather tracking is currently giving me a "beginning of September" vibe rather than the beginning of August.

I know that I'm not the only one seeing this amaz- oh... yeah indeed I'm not.

Other than this I don't know too much about where to get more info.

The Os have a historic winning season coming up. 54-6.

Extremely decent storms for late January.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 393 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1200 PM EDT Wed Jul 22 2020 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of District Of Columbia Western and Central Maryland South Central Pennsylvania Northern and Central Virginia Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from NOON until 700 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will intensify and over the mountains of northern Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania and spread eastward this afternoon and early evening. Damaging winds and perhaps hail are expected with the more intense storms today.

Yeah... It sure seems like we've not seen too many of those events this year.

Just had a thunderstorm pop up over me this hour in Herndon. Safe to say that I've seen my high for today here.

Now up to 99F at IAD.

IAD up to 98F now. 98/72/106.

IAD has hit 97F so far per one-min obs.
