  1. The cell near Moorefield, WV intensified relatively quickly. We'll see how things trend the next 1-2 hours.
  2. Yeah CAMs have been *relatively* consistent with pushing some sort of loose cluster of storms through the DC area.
  3. The 12z CSU MLP update re-increased the 5% area for TOR and also inched the 30% wind closer to MBY.
  4. I've heard (usually from @high risk ) that the HRRR tends to overmix out low level moisture - could that be a factor here?
  5. I'm more "in" on this one than the prior events. It could still fizzle - and I certainly don't think it's going to be an "outbreak" - but storm coverage has higher confidence it seems - and the shear does raise some eyebrows! Also I'll be in the office - which seems to guarantee good storms (my office is in the core of the building with no windows - so I essentially miss anything that happens during cool events).
  6. The CAMs (to varying degrees) all have decent amounts of storm coverage too - unlike some of the prior events recently.
  7. I don't expect anything - more just saying under the right conditions it could lay a boundary down or moisten us better.
  8. Weenie comment - but I know we've had some events where early showers/precip gave us some REALLY soupy air and if clearing happens it could intensify fuel for later.
  9. This likely will reduce/preclude any significant threat later except for areas that see more sun and do not get stabilized early.
  10. I wonder if that's a factor of the larger nature of tropical systems and them being more susceptible to the larger scale upper-level pattern(s). With severe, so much is dependent on much smaller scale factors that are below the "resolution" of a broad AI model that might just look at the overall pattern.
  11. 12z CIPS guidance is a bit more enthusiastic. One analog that has been persistently showing up in some of the domains on CIPS is 6/21/21
  12. Ehhh - with severe I'll keep watching until morning of. Always surprises since storms are smaller scale than snowstorms generally.
  13. I've also noticed the "FengWu" ones seem to be more bullish than the other one. Maybe it's just not well calibrated or something?
  14. CSU MLP is pretty garden variety (15% in a big, broad area). CIPS is pretty unenthused. NCAR is still heavily bullish. I think most of us know this at this point is not going to be an outbreak in our region. But let's see how things evolve with Wednesday convection and timing and such.
  15. Also not that it matters a ton (also it's being sunset soon) - the SREF maps over on the SPC page are already showing a mean Derecho Composite of 3 for part of Thursday afternoon/evening.
  16. I *will* say that the NCAR AI maps are VERY robust for Thursday - but they do tend to look at lot more serious than CSU and CIPS in general. So take with a grain of salt.
  17. Truth! Severe weather around here is a perfect example of what tiny factors can change about an event...no two events are the same even with seemingly nearly identical parameters. Snow gets all the glory of forecast busts - but I really think severe weather busts are MUCH more finicky.
