@yoda - They used to use the 65mph level a ton in the 90s and 2000s. Seems they like to use the 10mph intervals now. Still not seeing any northern extension. Going to be close for me. I fully expect these clouds will stick around long enough to sour my chance to see the comet tonight.
-
I may get grazed here in the Hanover/Arundel Mills area unless there is some more development on the northern end.
-
Interestingly - mesoanalysis actually has a relative minimum of DCAPE locally. Better numbers to the north and south. Not so great right around the DC metro.
-
Definitely not saying it hasn't happened - but I thin those numbers are much more common with warnings (before the criteria was changed to 1 inch hail). In the old days I remember seeing 65mph a lot too with warnings and watches. But 70 for wind and 1-1.5 for hail is about even with the average severe watch around our parts.
-
Those are pretty standard numbers for out severe tstm watches IMO.
-
Wow. Early meso with high probs. Nice.
-
12z NAM nest is a whiff for the DC area
-
Smaller one looks like it happened around the same time in Charles County along the Potomac.
-
Models seem to be in agreement on timing earlier than some of the recent storms too - maybe 3-6pm crossing the area.
-
Some of the high res models are unusually robust for today (on the reflectivity maps). The ARW, ARW2 and the NMM all are lighting the area up pretty good this afternoon.
-
Lovely...can I stay on vacation for another 2 weeks then?
-
Coming back from vacation tomorrow. Are we tracking anything upcoming in the near future, or is it just wall to wall heat?
-
Looks like the Visitor Center is still going to be closed - where do you plan on watching from? Wish it was a nighttime launch...
-
I'm in Chincoteague 12th-19th. Small world. I'm really hoping the mosquitos aren't awful (I haven't been down there since I was younger). There's a NRO spy sat launch scheduled for 9am on the 15th if you hadn't already seen that. Minotaur IV rocket.
-
Let's do it. I'm of course out town the entirety of next week. You guys will probably get rocked just because mother nature hates me.
-
Wouldn't we want to be less squarely under the ridge and more on the periphery for derecho stuff?
-
It's simply the best. No contest.
-
If nothing else, at least it has made for some interesting radar watching today. Too bad not every day of heat waves can result in this. Weather has been excessively boring lately.
-
Man...I wish every day of a heat wave would behave like this. Great little storm in Arundel Mills.
-
This stuff forming around DC, if it's not relatively intense - may preclude a stronger threat later due to cooling of the air from rain.
-
It's pretty cloud filled here in Colesville, MD. Some light returns are starting to show up on radar locally as well.
-
The CU field is mentioned in the latest mesoscale discussion. SPC thinks that the area of CU running from the DC area up to SEPA may be a corridor for new development. Also mentions the surging outflow from the storms to the north and east. On visible sat, the field in general looks a little more agitated now. The outflow is clearly visible on the satellite images as it is just barely into the NEern tip of Maryland and into Delaware.
-
I think we have to hope that the outflow from the Philly activity can join up with some of the boundaries like the bay breeze and such around us to trigger stuff. Dews have some down at some stations in the area - still high along the bay.
-
Visible satellite of that Philly cluster looks like a nuke went off! They are getting walloped.

5000 SBCAPE on mesoanalysis.
