Watch probs are pretty low - but that's not unexpected given the parameters today. Two severe days in a row is always fun, though. Not super common (and we could make it three tomorrow).
Will be interesting to see where SPC coordinates the blue box. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of the Maryland counties included despite the meso discussion being primarily for VA.
Yeah those images are potato quality. I always just wait for the survey. Although - based on the radar presentation I'd assume something along the TOR warned path will be found to have been a tornado.
The latest run of the HRRR has some good cells erupting right over the area from 20z and after. This has been a change from the 06z run. So the 7, 8, 9 and now 10z have shown a similar progression of storms. Let's see if it holds.
Definitely a lot of bouncing around going on with the NAM and NAM nest. The sim reflectivity looks decent for tomorrow on the NAM nest now - even looks okay for Wednesday. Could we pull the rare 3 in a row for storms?
The parent NAM is really going gung-ho on Tuesday afternoon. Even the sim reflectivity looks good on the NAM nest but for mainly Virginia. There are some hefty SARS analogs showing up on the parent NAM as well.
Getting pretty lucky in terms of damage IMBY right now. Just some twigs and small branches. PEPCO numbers look good - they've seemingly gotten a lot better in the last 10 years or so. Used to be 6 hour outages if a person farted.
It's always the sneaky events!
Tree down at the bottom of the street doing all kinds of creaking. If it falls it's taking the pole at the dead end out with it.
REAL nice gust just now. Was standing on the front walkway watching and a bunch of little twigs started raining down and blowing out of the trees. They sting!
