Though there was no Tornado Watch then, there were the quick spin-up EF-1 QLCS tornadoes in Maryland last November. 65/56 at IAD currently with thickening clouds.

The alluding to Halloween portion of the disco: "Everyone should make sure they have a way to receive warnings and get to shelter quickly should severe weather threaten your neighborhood tomorrow evening."

Yeah that's true. I also prefer the daytime to be able to see the action clearly... whatever action there may be. That's just me personally though.

With preference for the latter of course for the best heating.

HRRR at range of course but the 12z says sorry trick or treaters west of I-95.

Probably April 27-28, 2011.

Widespread severe winds from cold front forced "storms" are so rare at this time of the year unless we can get an October 2010-like bomb to bomb out further east through the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes, interior Northeast region. That worked out well from the Midwest into the Ohio Valley then. But of course you all probably know that. Just rambling.

I too remember that day. I just remember it raining heavily at times (with some lightning early in the afternoon) through about 3pm followed by skies rapidly clearing for late afternoon sunshine. That day was certainly nothing compared to your favorite event two springs later on a June 4th afternoon. I wouldn't make it out of school to see that one though.

Would be interesting to get the line through the region between 6 and 9pm.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1225 PM CDT Sat Oct 26 2019 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...Shower activity ahead of the main frontal convection will limit instability and heating across northern and central VA northward. However, surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s are forecast, resulting in SBCAPE less than 250 J/kg across northern VA into the northern Chesapeake Bay vicinity. Ahead of the front, backed southeasterly winds in the vicinity of a pre-frontal trough will result in effective shear values around 30-40 kt. This should allow for some organized bowing segments within the QLCS and a few damaging wind gusts will be possible as convection quickly moves east/northeast. Strong wind profiles as low as around 1000 feet, and backed southeast surface winds will lead to large, curved hodographs. If pockets of greater instability occur and surface-based convection develops, a weak/brief tornado cannot be ruled out across northern VA toward coastal MD....

Yeap.

IAD actually hit 33F.

0z run..... NAM'd.

Yeah. Sorry to leave you out.

Looks like some areas locally briefly made it into severe drought category pre-yesterdays rain. It will probably be slightly less severe for next weeks update.

Thanks so much for your generous sacrifice.

Has anyone else noticed a pinkish tinge to the western sky in the twilight after sunset? I've been noticing it for the past couple of weeks.

Meh. It's just a 200mph EF-4. Just one mile per hour short.

This is so cool! I'm very happy for your family! Hopefully this region aka Teaseville Central doesn't ruin his innocence too soon. Perhaps some storm-chasing trips are inbound soon?......

Winter already? * * * 63/33 IAD 1015am edt Friday, October 11, 2019
