    I don't think I was much help - just model perusing!
  2. Kmlwx
    Seems it could be more widespread but TBD of course
  3. Kmlwx
    So far it's an empty radar. Seems the signal for an isolated storm has backed off further on the models. Most guidance has a shower or two around, though.

    LWX has been watching this afternoon is a storm or two can break through the low odds. We are right about the time when our severe events get less widespread and more spotty (but can still pack major punches). These types of severe events tend to be harder to diagnose/see from farther out. I'm definitely watching the weekend. July tends to need a big time trigger to do widespread severe...otherwise it's the kind of storms that blow up nice and tall but collapse after a short time. Lottery odds...if you get under one you could get minivan sized hail for a few mins before the storm kills itself.

    I mean I've seen some tasty CFS runs recently

    HR132 from the 12z CIPS run.
  7. Kmlwx
    Strong CIPS signal in the extended panels at 168hrs

    Rain intensity much lower now - band has weakened a good bit. Though it seems more activity will be off and on into the night.
  9. Kmlwx
    CLAM2 stream gauge is already seeing rises (as to be expected) with the heavy rain overhead.

    Looks like this N/S line is lined up roughly with the front.

    Flood warning for chunk of DC metro (including DC proper)
  12. Kmlwx
    Some really nice lightning and thunder here now. Loud cracks and rolling rumbles following. Let's see how long these training lines setup for and if they stay over the same general areas. Could be a long night for local first responders.
  13. Kmlwx
    Training potential now setting up for DC if this keeps up. Radar looks a lot more active locally than it has. Getting loud thunder here north of Silver Spring now.

    Could it be a volunteer fire dept? I know small towns use it to summon the volunteers back for calls. Or a weekly test of sorts?
  15. Kmlwx
    That backdoor boundary seems to be killing us.
  16. Kmlwx
    Saw one on GR2AE as well. Wonder if some of that is due to the wind from the storms blowing up against the higher terrain and inducing some circulations.
  17. Kmlwx
    WPC frontal analysis shows the backdoor front running like this - Would certainly explain the death of activity in the DC/Baltimore corridor.
  18. Kmlwx
    Yep - completely - but just in the sense that narrow corridors could see a decent amount of training. I could see a localized spot get sig flooding this evening even as most areas get garden variety heavy rain and some isolated cases of standing water
  19. Kmlwx
    It definitely seems like a setup where if you're in the right (or wrong) place, you could get trained over pretty good this afternoon and evening. I don't *think* it'll be anything like the training I saw in June 2006, but if the railroad tracks align it could be a hazardous afternoon for the usual standing water/flooding locations. Guessing at least 5 idiots will require water rescue from vehicles today. Will guess 3 pickup trucks and two minivans.

    Flood watch expanded
  21. Kmlwx
    Roughly along and west of I-95 there is some CAPE beginning to increase. Nothing ridiculous so far - but still an increase. LI values are actually not bad right in the metro area as well.
  22. Kmlwx
    The metro still gets some narrow "bands" or cells that go through but closer to 0-1z. The NAM nest still has some 2 inch amounts localized in that. It's definitely going to be a game of miles in some places today.
  23. Kmlwx
    And we aren't even to the climo hottest period of the year yet. We will torch in all likelihood - at least for a period and more likely for a long period sometime during July to early September.
  24. Kmlwx
    My temperature is heading upward pretty fast now. Last 15-20 minutes I've gained like 3 degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if the flood watch gets extended maybe one more tier to the east - going to be an interesting day of radar-watching.
  25. Kmlwx
    Definitely one of the more strange sim reflectivity plots I've seen before. Still think a good chunk of the area will see precip - but I'm not sure there will be any sort of sustained severe threat for anyone in the immediate metro area.
