  1. Didn't want to deal with the hassle of the shuttling from FedEx Field to ADW - so was torn on even going to try to see the air show at all. We decided on a whim to head to a strip mall by the base and managed to time our arrival right when some of the jets were starting their maneuvers. Had a blast!
  2. It's far away from TBWI, but MoCo activity seems to have some broad spin at higher levels.
  3. Seeing some shear contours on Radarscope on the MoCo cell. Not sure how accurate those are.
  4. Yeah some of these cells have the mini supercell look.
  5. Don't forget November pencil thin gusty shower season. Though with the right negative tilt trough we can perform... There was a day in November 2006 like that I believe.
  6. Been at a wedding all weekend and haven't been following anything. Was surprised to see the severe thread with posts!
  7. It blows my mind every time. I just saw your post this morning and I'm scrolling through the map. Thanks for sharing! Amazing that you can see little lumps where houses are and stuff.
  8. Formidable outflow rushing out ahead of the storms now.
  9. May have missed a post elsewhere - but is there an ETA on when the TIAD radar will be back up and running?
  10. Funny that the one to the NE got a 20% and we got a 5% - our radar looks better IMO.
  11. I'd imagine at some point soon we'll have a meso discussion for our area.
  12. My dewpoint is holding firm in the low 70s. Better start dropping fast if HRRR is to be correct...
  13. HRRR mixes out the dewpoints to the low 60s. Not sure I buy it. NAM nest still has a bit of a local minimum through the area - but it's still 66+
  14. Wait - what did I do this time?
  15. Imagine a "Hall of Fame" style year...would be something else (nobody come at me with the ethical argument of tracking exciting weather/science events). Just think a year with the following all packed into a single 12 month period (or comparable events) 1) All of the winter events of the 09-10 winter. 2) April 28, 2002 severe/tornado event (as the spring event) 3) June 29, 2012 severe/derecho event (as summer time severe event) 4) Random smattering of significant severe days in the peak of summer and into mid-August. 5) Some significant tropical action in the form of an Isabel (but perhaps even more significant...like @Eskimo Joe's left turning tropical cyclone up the west side of the Potomac. 6) September 24, 2001 severe/tornado event as another fall event. 7) Sandy in late October 8) Veterans Day 1987 Snowstorm as an early wintry surprise. 9) A typical December 5th snow event (even if small) to kickoff the next winter 10) More winter storms like 09-10 in December. Also throw in big synoptic wind events in early spring/and later into fall/winter. And just because I'm feeling generous - throw in major heat to make EJ happy.
  16. We all know the more likely option is that we just go wall-to-wall boring weather from now through next spring.
  17. I think we'll see more and more adoption of a year-round school year with more breaks scattered in.
  18. Last few frames look like a flash flood threat radar - lots of little cells popping up all over the metro.
  19. Weird cluster of strikes showing on the ENTLN data just NNW of Middleburg, VA. Not associated with any significant returns on KLWX or TIAD radars.
  20. Pretty nice wind signature on that storm for the time of day. Looks like it's riding a boundary (WPC analyzing a stationary front across the area)
