Severe thunderstorm warning SW of CHO. Very respectable radar signature with it bowing out seemingly.

Perfect way for us to transition from relatively boring weather long term to excitement. Severe weather, then severe cold and winter weather chances!

Yeah - gusty showers is kind of what I'm expecting. But maybe something a little more robust. I'm already 2-3 degrees off of my high of the day. Dewpoint is down in the low 40s. Then again - I guess we could say that's not too bad for Dec 31st.

HRRR pushes a blob or line through between 4pm and 6/7pm west to east. Let's hope @North Balti Zen lands before it rolls through!

HRRR continues to be pretty robust for this evening. I know it tends to be underwhelming in the summer/severe months - not sure if that will still be the case for cold season storm events. But...it's kind of on its own with the FV3 and some of the NSSL models.

I'm actually pretty "on board" with today. I mean I'm not predicting tons of lightning for 70mph winds or wedges on the Mall. But I think we'll get some "decent" activity by December standards. We always seem to get one or two cold season events. Usually one is in Nov/Dec and then we get another sometimes in February. That weird tornado/t'storm morning a few Februarys ago was insane.

Models seem to suggest you'd be okay - with the turbulent stuff maybe coming in around 5-7 or so. But stuff does tend to pop quicker than expected.

January: Medium/ Long Range: May the Force be with Us....
Kmlwx replied to Weather Will's topic in Mid Atlantic
Feels like it was apparent at H5 fairly early on. No reason to get bummed yet. Plenty of time! -
I was weenie tagged in the Eastern days for being a severe thunderstorm weenie. Learned my lesson real quick!

Better late than never! Thank you!

With possible busy times ahead (while we aren't there quite yet - it could be here before you know it) - probably a good time to give a friendly nudge to new posters who haven't endured an active period on here. We all get excited about weather - it's a weather forum, after all! But as things get more hectic, it'll get more and more important to keep the banter-ish stuff here and the serious pattern discussion and meteorological discussion in the main threads. It's obviously a bit looser when things aren't ramped up yet - but that can change in a hurry. Above all - just remember that post counts don't mean crap. Don't post just for the sake of posting because you feel like inflating your visibility will make you a "regular" quicker. It's okay to lurk and learn. We all can get wound up in the excitement, but a the heart of it - most of us love to learn from the pros and mets and knowledgable posters. When things get serious here - last thing we need is to have to sift through pages of garbage to get to the outstanding posts that some of the veterans of AmWx have to contribute.

Not expecting much - but dynamic systems can bring some good wind sometimes with a low topped line. Hopefully we are so busy with snow that we won't need to start the 2025 Severe thread until April or May

@bncho - Whether it was a joke or not - I know people PW share for various streaming services all the time - but it's not a wise idea to publicly post about sharing account logins for a pay site. While WxBell can be great, there are countless free sites that are excellent - and some pay sites for models that are also very robust. Many of them also carry free trials or different tiered plans. TropicalTidbits is great for the free stuff, Pivotal Weather is a solid pay site (that's the one I use). Just some friendly guidance to a relatively new poster on the forums. Just use your best judgment!

January: Medium/ Long Range: May the Force be with Us....
Kmlwx replied to Weather Will's topic in Mid Atlantic
That post really did make me wonder if people think NWS/NOAA/NCEP just closes down for the holidays -
Cars will crash. We live in the DC/Baltimore corridor and everyone sucks at driving even on dry pavement. Only takes a few hundredths of an inch of freezing rain to cause chaos.

A lot of people in the main thread need to read more and post less. It's not about post count...

NS = Northern stream Meaning that he doesn't expect much southern stream involvement like energy ejecting out of the SW region. Instead, clippers and little impulses in the northern stream - and getting them to dig and time up to pass south of our latitude (hopefully).

It's because of his concrete pouring, I think.
