  1. LWX in their early AM discussion seems very bullish despite them also mentioning uncertainty for late next week. Too far out to say anything for now.
  2. Way out there - but the GFS has a decent setup it seems for next Friday...
  3. Instability will be the question mark with Friday. Shear should be more than sufficient. Looks like a chance later in the weekend maybe too. (Sunday?)
  4. Friday will probably be all about the CAPE. If the CAPE is too low it'll probably be a pencil thin line of gusty showers.
  5. We are still pretty early season. Though I guess La Plata was an April event. Friday would seem to me to be the better option for now.
  6. Still looks like Monday holds some marginal potential for severe. Probably a good shot at a few rumbles of thunder at least. LWX mentions storms in their PM forecast discussion. Nothing looks particularly robust - so certainly no outbreaks or widespread severe for us.
  7. The only times it is acceptable for dews to be above 60 is when it will bring a severe risk. #ChangeMyMind The setup doesn't look super robust but at least it's something to track.
  8. I had hail in Columbia just before 9pm. Smaller than pea sized - a few good CG strikes too. That's a win in my book.
  9. NAM 3k was pretty dry if not completely dry for a lot of locations in our area.
  10. Well south and east appears to be the site for any action this PM.
  11. Been busy at work all morning - what a disaster. Maybe we can eke out a rumble of thunder.
  12. Even in low activity years - it only takes a single day/event to really make a or break our severe season around these parts. A region-wide significant squall line can make a season pretty memorable. Though I'd like multiple storm days ideally. Thunderstorms are one of the few redeeming qualities about triple H weather around here.
  13. It's March...and even though we probably have a few more winter weather threats ahead...it's time to launch the 2019 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx thread. Pattern stuff can go in here, discussion leading up to events and more. Same guidelines as past years. Thread will probably idle for a month or two - let's hope for some general excitement this year.
  14. Yeah - I think CWG is about as good as it gets in terms of communication. Agree 100% Meanwhile - back over to snow here in Colesville, MD. Now plow yet on our dead end street.
  15. They didn't explicitly have an 8 inch range. They use the probability system. This might be an unpopular opinion - but I think a forecaster is good if they communicate to the public well. I don't think a good forecaster necessarily is the one that nails a forecast to a 2 inch range. The best forecasters these days are the ones that do not hype - and show the range of possibilities. Yeah - a nailed 2 inch forecast range is great - but some of that is also luck. Banding in this area generally precludes any sort of broad brushed uniform amounts anyway.
  16. Sleeting here still - just did the 2nd clearing of the driveway/walkway and it's definitely not as fluffy as it was earlier. Distinct wet layer and then sleet on top. Harder to shovel.
  17. 4" but after some compaction in Colesville, MD Also it is sleeting here right now.
  18. Amazing that I drove down to Colesville/Silver Spring to my parent's house around 4:30 this morning and it was like a typical drive. Woke up again around 7:45 to a complete blanket of snow. Just finished shoveling the driveway and walkway - haven't measured yet.
