  1. The GFS has some decent supercell composite parameters to our west for next Tuesday afternoon - but the timing is bad for us and it fizzles east of the mountains.
  2. From people more knowledgeable than myself - I've heard that it's not as simple as "drop the anchor = stop the boat" - and as a prior poster said - it seems they DID attempt to drop it anyway.
  3. The optimist in me would hope that even the most adamant of environmental advocates would see the economic impact of this bridge being out of commission for a long duration. Additionally, perhaps they'd see the added fossil fuel burning from trucks having to find longer alternate routes to get to/from the same spots. But optimism only gets you so far these days lol
  4. I would think they will rebuild a bridge. Right now - that's a major way people go if they can't tolerate the tunnel (other interstate option would be all the way around the western side of 695. Obviously the decision probably won't factor in people's tunnel phobias...but I imagine due to the logistics of tunneling, they will keep it as a bridge when rebuilt.
  5. A lesser impact - but for folks who do not want to drive through a tunnel - this really sucks for adding travel time to trips through this area.
  6. Absolutely this. Horrifying to imagine if this had been during the morning or evening rush hour especially.
  7. Well one thing is you can have a hard freeze or two and then have 20 degree plus departures and the averages will look like the freezes never happened.
  8. Every few runs of the GFS at least have had a storm system near the fantasy range/end of run that could be a severe producer for our area. Way too far out but has shown up a few times in varying forms.
  9. We usually flag April as "it's still too early" - but it does come with the benefit of having some really potent systems sometimes before we head into the more summery "doldrum" patterns. It seems we always have a bit of a "butter zone" in spring and fall when CAPE is healthy enough for more than just pencil thin lines of gusty showers - but with higher shear than you'd see in July.
  10. I'm torn on whether to root for a last minute freak snowstorm that makes me lose....or if I should just hope for the win at this point.
  11. I had not been checking the thread - I thought for sure I would be out after the little snow event. Goes to show you weather is a lot of guesswork...my entry was a total shot in the dark.
  12. The wind was really rocking last night for a time but it seemed mostly synoptic wind in nature rather than specifically associated with that line of showers. Hopefully before too long we start tracking spring severe!
  13. That HRRR map shows the localized DC bow very well. #derecho
  14. Line segment between Rosedale and Clay in WV looks nice!
  15. SPC playing catchup. It's June 29, 2012!!!
