    1630z update put us in a SLGT risk for today. ...Northern VA and vicinity this afternoon... A small thunderstorm cluster and diffuse MCV will move eastward from the eastern WV Panhandle across northern VA/MD this afternoon. Surface heating in advance of this minor wave will contribute to moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg), and some loose clustering of storms is expected this afternoon. Steep low-level lapse rates and DCAPE near 1000 J/kg will favor occasional downbursts with some potential for wind damage.

    We DO have it now.

    SEL7 0-CWZ000-010100- URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 547 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 115 PM EDT Wed Jul 31 2019 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Connecticut District Of Columbia Delaware Massachusetts Eastern Maryland New Jersey Southeast New York Southeast Pennsylvania Rhode Island Northeast Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 115 PM until 900 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon within a warm/unstable air mass. A few clusters of severe storms are expected to form, capable of locally damaging wind gusts. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles south southeast of Washington DC to 25 miles north northwest of Boston MA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 25030. ...Hart

    Severe Thunderstorm Watch incoming.

    I'm low-key watching the post-Barry remnants period. While areas to the north are definitely favored a ring of fire type pattern looks fairly likely to make an appearance.

Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Cluster of strong thunderstorms over south-central Pennsylvania may cross into portions of Maryland and Delaware, while additional development occurs farther west. Scattered damaging winds are the primary threat. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 40 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles south of Hagerstown MD to 25 miles southeast of Dover DE.

    Hail 1"+ in diameter (quarter sized or greater)

    There is some decent mlcape and low-level lapse rates as well as of 16z.

    While it definitely doesn't look like much atm I wouldn't completely sleep on Monday. With increasing cape and modest shear if a remnant MCV moves in from the west it could spark something. Again, it's definitely not much atm but something to watch... perhaps.

    Oh hell yeah! Those patterns brings around a lower risk of my yard being in the middle of Splitsville (as well as the negatively tilted trough pattern). It needs to come with deep-layer flow AOA 50KTS as well. Give me an 1893 Atlantic Hurricane Season repeat, an October 1878, or a Hazel. October 15, 1954 was an absolutely marvelous day in the area.

    Psssst... We abscond the 18z hrdps.

    Random note: This Thursday marks 6 years since the immediate area was last under a moderate risk.

    If only we could get a Bill 2015 track repeat but with a very powerful southeast ridge in place. An example: Say, a category 1 landfall near Houston, TX Tuesday night, June 18, 2019. Then the fast-flow around the ridge combined with a shortwave moving in from the north slingshots it to this region by Thursday afternoon June 20, 2019 as a ~990mb low bringing backing SSE winds and upper 70's/80F dewpoints and mid 90'sF air temperatures yielding mlcape ~4000J/kg despite warm temperature profiles aloft with 50-60+kt EBWD and 250-350+ m2/s2 effective shear bringing a goodly severe threat to the region. Sorry. Weenie mode getting carried away. But you hopefully get my drift.

    1893 tropical system tracks redux with a Hazel and 1878 track thrown in with mid 30's Celsius water temps off the SE coast and in the Gulf of Mexico please... pretty please with 22 cherries on top.

    This afternoon actually seemed somewhat similar to though obviously nowhere near as widespread (wind gusts only into the 30s mph IMBY ) as the June 4, 2008 mid-afternoon event with a CAPE tongue through the region and decent enough 40-50+kt EB shear with storms decently strengthening as they got east of the mountains and into the metro region. Time of the day was similar as well though the June 4, 2008 event had more outages areawide if I remember correctly. The really impressive stuff was obviously more localized with this event.

    45-55kt effective bulk shear as of 17z across the region.
