    I have the WS-5000 and have had no complaints. In fact, with Energizer Lithium batteries I somehow have yet to have to change ANY of the sensor batteries...and it's been over 2 years I think. Has to happen eventually....they just keep going. I have a few temp sensors, a lightning one. Never installed the rain gauge because I don't have a good spot, and the wind direction is unreliable because it's not sighted properly - but for everything else it's been fantastic. The power supply for the console went haywire and died recently but got an Amazon replacement and it went back to normal.

    NAM nest and HRDPS seem to be the most enthused. Some of the other CAMs seem pretty underenthused. We'll see - if nothing else another ground wetting for many seems likely.

    Wake up folks! Day 2 marginal from SPC, NCAR AI and CSU MLP look decent for tomorrow as does NAM nest sim reflectivity. This might be the last hurrah of the season...omitting any pencil thin squall line like we often get in fall.

    I wouldn't rule anything out of course at this phase. So much usually depends on how disorganized it stays (or the opposite). Certainly if it gets stronger quicker I'd favor the classic recurve. Those tracks at least leave a low probability door open for something to get closer than most of the tracks would indicate. If nothing else, seems like the Atlantic is stirring at a minimum.

    I would have totally expected Virginia to be higher on the list if for no other reason than more area.

    In summer's past - 65 degree dewpoints would be starting to get muggy. After at, or above 80 degree dewpoints...65-67 feels like fall air

    The radar is reminding me of some of the Local on the 8s classic squall lines on the low-res local radar from the 1990s.

    Some backbuilding/training of those MoCo cells. Area from around Great Falls to Kensington and Sligo Creek areas are in trouble if this keeps up. Really bad spot to have training storms.

    Downburst/microburst signal on the Montgomery County cell it looks like.

    I know a lot of our days in past summers, the dewpoint gets ticked downwards a bit by downsloping winds. Seems perhaps that has been largely missing this year?

    Pigs are flying, folks!!!! Man your battlestations!

    My money is on flooding being the biggest risk with 1) Antecedent conditions and 2) The saggy front aspect.
  13. Kmlwx
    Saggy fronts that get hung up and just sort of slowly move through tend to be big rain producers for us sometimes - especially when they act as "train tracks" for repeated clusters/lines of storms. The ground is definitely primed for flooding already. Stream near me has had two 8+ft crests in the past few weeks. If the tropics ever wake up this year and decide to threaten the east coast, some parts of the area are pretty darn waterlogged...could be a big event.

    Kind of outside of our normal "big severe" window. This is usually when we get stuck in pulse severe season. But yes - I agree. At range there's so many things that could temper the threat though. I have on eye on it for now - we'll see how things look as the weekend starts. I'll be watching the AI severe pages for trends.
  15. Kmlwx
    LWX in their early morning AFD seems potentially excited about severe potential into next week. SPC also has a good discussion on their D4-8 outlook. We'll have no clarity on details until closer to next week - but bears watching.

    62.8 with a dewpoint in the lower 60s. SO much better.
  17. Kmlwx
    That storm coming down the Potomac looks healthy and supercellular.

    Same general setup here. On a hill and away from the trail by a good bit. Can definitely hear the roar of the stream/creek when it gets high though. My friends and I found a fish well up into the branches of a tree after the June 2006 flooding. I don't think I've seen water levels that high since then.

    My PWS is reporting an 80 degree dewpoint....has happened several times this summer already...awful.

    NW Branch up near Kemp Mill - I use this site to monitor - https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/USGS-01650500/#period=P7D&showMedian=true&dataTypeId=continuous-00065-0

    Yeah - he's mostly fine when he sticks to just the facts...also when he isn't blocking a lane of travel on a road

    Good lord they look like they are on steroids! What a harvest!

    12z HRRR blows up robust convection for the DC/Baltimore corridor especially in the 0-2z timeframe. PWATS near 2 inches in parts of the area...would think flooding risk with this activity - even if not super slow moving. Creek near the house rose to around 8ft during the other night's heavy rainfall. Highest in the past few years.
  24. Kmlwx
    This is only one of the available algorithms. Note that they tend to be VERY robust so take with a grain of salt. I really only use it as a Day 4-8 "first guess" area to look for.
  25. Kmlwx
    The NCAR AI severe page indicates a hefty chance of severe on Thursday - but SPC has held off on any risk areas due to the uncertainty from MCVs and prior day convection (and the position of the front). Bears watching.
