  1. Heck of a narrow one - and many of us are #fringed
  2. Decent amount of guidance seems to favor exactly where SPC has the higher probs. Still, see a few models that get DC with good activity. We'll see. Definitely not the @Eskimo Joe outbreak.
  3. 78 and beautiful out there IMBY right now. Only downside is I've seen 3 massive wasps around the exterior of the house already today. Going to need to re-up my pest control application...
  4. FV3 Hi-res at range shows stuff developing Thur PM but mainly for I-95 and east.
  5. Perhaps there needs to be an additional criteria added. "If ____ is out of town for event, automatic upgrade to that tier"
  6. Third aircraft just flew over - same deal...not visible on ADS-B until roughly over IAD area and then TIS-B got it inbound to Andrews. This one was definitely a passenger style jet though - two engines - only got a look at the underbelly as it flew over from W to E. Odd tempo of activity inbound to Andrews today - and also semi atypical for them to be not readily trackable.
  7. What sounds like fighter jets (2 so far) have gone right over me in Colesville. They are unlabeled aircraft only showing on TIS-B on the ADS-B sites. Anybody get a visual? Seems both are now circling JB Andrews and doing pattern work. They went from IAD area through SE MoCo and then around the beltway to Andrews.
  8. NAM nest (at range) blows up a pretty solid looking complex of storms for the metro areas Thur PM.
  9. My early looks at Thursday are mixed. I do see the 6z Euro on the lightning density product spits out good storms for most of the area - timing looks decent as they come through after 18z through the end of the day. GFS seems less enthused with having good CAPE to work with. FWIW - CIPS is completely uninterested in the event. Definitely a Thursday situation at this point - I've written off Wednesday for most of us unless you're way out in the mountains to the west.
  10. The NAM (yes the NAM at range) has been a bit more favorable for severe Thursday. Biggest issue I think has been that the timing has been off for us. I think for the severe weenies in the area, the most exciting scenario would be for the system to slow enough that it allows a frontal passage during peak heating Thursday. Prior runs of the globals had the timing at poor parts of the diurnal cycle. The other thing would be if it sped up enough to get us with Wednesday - but the Wed threat seems focused well to the north and/or west.
  11. Powerful for this part of the country. Decent track length as well!
  12. Nice to track actual weather instead of phantom 10 day snowstorms....
  13. It's been a bit calmer for the last 10 minutes or so. Still hear some roaring higher up but it seems like at the surface it's a bit more tame for the moment. (Annapolis but not right at the water)
  14. Looks like IAD gusted to 57knots again
  15. LWX radar has 80mph patch of wind near Odenton. It's up at 3000ft but wow...really lit up velocity scans from LWX.
  16. 43 sustained is ridiculous...bonafide tropical storm conditions
  17. Could CAA behind the front be enhancing the mixing despite loss of heating?
  18. One of the Bay Bridge SHA weather stations is showing a gust of 72mph
  19. Brush fire reported in Frederick apparently. REALLY bad weather conditions for something like that.
  20. For those who want to monitor - http://www.iadasos.org/IAD/index.html
  21. I'm impressed by some of the velocities showing up (and how widespread they are) on the TDWRs as that line of showers comes off the mountains that @yoda mentioned. The gusts are getting louder and louder. Pretty impressive gusts for being after dark.
  22. Just had a loud thud against an exterior wall at the house I'm at for dog sitting. Probably a big branch or something. Wind really roaring at times.
  23. LWX radar is showing some good wind to the west as well. TDWRs as well - but at range.
  24. The flight tracking sites are wild tonight - tons of planes doing weird holds and loops as weather impacts airport operations.
  25. Wind picking up now in Annapolis area.
