I "interned" with him and Tony Pann on WeatherTalk back in like 2007. It was a blast. Both of them are good guys. The problem is Justin kind of went in a weird direction and had some previous posts also about chemtrails and crap. Both of them are suckers for snow and interesting weather - which unfortunately hurts them at times. As people though - I had nothing but great things to say about them. It was cool as a high schooler to be on the air with them a few times. And I'll never shy away from saying that I whopped their butts in the weekly forecasting battle they'd do against each other.

Give me exciting weather. Even if it’s mixed bag or snow to rain, give me a dynamic system that weather weenies can be fascinated by.

Think it came back here at right around then too. I saw lights on the train track side of Piney Orchard. My SO lives off of Stream Valley. They originally said 7:45 and that went by with no update. Looks like Xfinity is out this morning now...

Gaps between big gusts seem to be increasing - but there have been some strong gusts still. AACo FD has been getting hammered with power outage/electrical issue related calls. Still 108K+ outages in BGE territory.

Seemed to really quick with the combo of the sunshine allowing good mixing, the CAA and the pressure rises. Loss of sunshine and the pressure gradient passing by probably means just normal blustery conditions if anything now. Should give BGE some time to recover...

BGE is saying 7:45pm ETR for this outage in Odenton. It's impacting a lot of people so I guess I believe it. But with 114K outages...I'm not sure. Though maybe it's a relatively simple issue to resolve - perhaps at the Waugh Chapel huge substation. Wind is still ripping pretty good at times too

Posting over in the obs thread still - but PEPCO outages still hanging under 10K (for now) and BGE is passing the 100K mark. Totals in Maryland are over 125K and Virginia is quite high as well. Power outage maps look more reminiscent of a tropical storm or major severe weather episode. Soggy ground+wind will do that!

BGE over 88K now. Maryland total over 100K. Impressive....Synoptic wind always gets us.

I know we've mostly been using the normal obs thread but this synoptic wind has been downright impressive. outages for MD and VA are over 300K combined at this point it looks iike

PEPCO is still down below 7K outages. Meanwhile, BGE is up over 70K

Power out now in Odenton/Piney Orchard part of Anne Arundel County. Still on back home in Colesville.

The weenie in me is hoping for a modern era Jan 2000 model bust. If you were purely reading PSU’s posts about it not making sense, and were wearing total weenie goggles, you’d think we have a chance. Sadly I just don’t think anything of that magnitude is going to happen with 2025 model tech

Warnings out in WV

As soon as posted - I looked again and it was 989.4. Pretty impressive. SPC mesoanalysis shows really quick rises behind

My PWS is down to 990mb. Rate is-4mb an hour recently

Congratulations on your win

The 2025 iteration needs an early start due to a marginal threat for severe tomorrow (2/16)! Have at it!

Damn I’m slacking Will do it this PM at the eye doctor lol

I will settle for nothing except a Washington-Jefferson Storm repeat.

Wrong thread on the obs stuff!

Wonder if the 18z run will then be delayed as well. Will be interesting seeing the 12z Euro and the 18z GFS coming out around the same time...

Think @psuhoffman made a post earlier in the "not so fast" category on that front. We might want to be careful about rooting for a suppressed/sheared out mess solution even at this range. But then again - it could show a wrapped up/amped up storm at 0z.

I thought the new policy started to add distance learning days - or was that another county. Anyway - for obs - 33.4 here in Colesville right now. Glad it's not surging to 40 yet.

Going "all-in" in forecasting is generally not a great idea no matter what type of weather. Antecedent temps won't be like the January storm for one thing.

It really seems like there's a contingent of folks here that, after witnessing Feb 2010 and Jan 2016 just expect that and are extremely difficult to please otherwise.
