  1. Slow storm motions so far. Also sort of weak looking - definitely (at least so far) more of a heavy rain/flooding threat than a severe.
  2. Related (but not directly to today) - has anyone using GR2AE or GR2 noticed lower resolutions? I've tried various color tables and while I might just be imagining things, it seems like the data is just blockier/lower resolution. I looked at the GR Owners forum and didn't on a cursory glance see anything. I am on the latest release (at least latest as of what I saw when I looked a week or so ago). Again - might be my imagination but it just "feels" way lower resolution than I am used to - even like as low as Level 3 data. This is coming through via my AllisonHouse subscription too...so presumably the data feed is not the issue.
  3. The longer range 12z HRRR looked really solid....
  4. Funny how sometimes we don't get a watch until there's a consolidating/existing line of storms well into the area. Other times there's hardly anything on radar except at the outskirts and we get a watch.
  5. I guess this is good if it's accurate - maybe not so good if it's not so hot. I didn't see the HRRR referenced in that PDF - is that continuing?
  6. Okay I've had enough summer now. Time for fall!
  7. My PWS is reporting (likely incorrectly) a dew point over 80F lol
  8. You know we are out of skinny CAPE season when we are seeing echo tops at or above 50kft.
  9. PWS has already picked up 101 lightning strikes and counting. Sub-severe here but POURING and tons of thunder. Messy looking radar as well. Appetizer for tomorrow?
  10. If we ever get a 60% wind for us I will promptly perish.
  11. Thursday seems as though it may carry potential - but it's ages away.
  12. - I was like - I don't remember posting recently in obs!
  13. Cool looking outflow on radar as well!
  14. From watching this tool this spring so far - it seems like it way overdoes things - I'm not even sure it works on the same percentages as SPC...so take those maps with a grain (or a handful) of salt. I've been using it more of a "first look" at which days to look at closer.
  15. The NCAR AI convective page is highlighting some impressive severe potential next Thursday...honestly very impressed with how robust it is this far out...(link below) https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/projects/ncar_ensemble/ainwp/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3_KcoSRHWhY1lxCTCfOqSNC0AD8SUSmL_c7R_N8rtpvo-PsNNvuY3vuI4_aem_Stpgx3ntIqB8IVErFY76cQ
  16. June 2008 is still showing on the 12z updates to the CIPS guidance. Interestingly, if you sort solely by 500mb rather than all fields, it is the top analog with a score of 0.918. While I doubt we realize that high end of a threat - it's definitely got my attention. Worth noting that some of the neighboring domains on there also have June 4-5 2008 showing up as well. Obvious questions remain in regards to day-of factors like instability - but my interest level has risen a bit.
  17. CIPS has casually been showing June 4, 2008 in the analogs (not the top one at all) for the upcoming period. Not giving it much thought for now - but we'll see if we can squeeze some storms out.
  18. Cool radar today - lots of storms moving in different directions.
  19. A new site or something even cooler (micronet?!?!?!)
  20. FWIW - HRRR has been awful at initializing the storms to the west.
  21. I'm actually sort of intrigued at Sunday evening. The timing seems a bit off and it's not clear that areas (especially NE of the Potomac) will be unstable enough - but 12z NAM nest really fires a lot of storms mainly west and south of the metros. It would align well with CIPS honking - but not sure there's a ton of support. Good indication of missing ingredients.
  22. CIPS is *lit* at the 72hr frame. It even has June 1, 2012 in the analogs
  23. Also...that was a remarkable stretch. I know with the addition of "enhanced" things are a bit harder to come by for moderate risks now...BUT we had moderate risks in 2008 on June 4, 10, 16. Pretty absurd for this region for a single month. 2012 was another one of course. Many remember the derecho - but we often forget about the TOR-driven moderate risk on June 1, 2012. We had a uber mini 15% hatched zone right over the DC area for tornado. We definitely seem to have periods when we go on "runs" for extreme weather types. I'm sure it's linked to overall large-scale patterns persisting for more than just a few days.
