Smart money is on us failing tomorrow - but those parameters are beefiest I've seen in a while for us.

Not in terms of setup - but purely the SPC map itself - the day 2 outlook reminds me of Jun 2012

I like how SPC issued a mesoscale discussion that is almost entirely offshore

Radar looks pretty lame at the moment.

@Maestrobjwa - It's important to remember that return periods are averages - they aren't always exact. I agree we do seem to be getting less frequent big snows - but it varies. You could go 2 or 3 years in a row with HECS and then nothing for a decade - just as easily as you could go 6 without one and then just have one. It's not something that fits a mold every time. If science worked that way, we'd probably be staring down the barrel of a Yellowstone eruption (on geologic timescales at least) - as some science indicates it can go off once every 600K years and hasn't in 640K.

Is it Hot Pot Hero? That place is terrific.

Training happening over MoCo it looks like. If that keeps up I could see a FFW coming out eventually. Outflow is almost to me.

I am going to be so glad once we are beyond soupy atmosphere season. My 74 degree dewpoint can go far away from me ASAP. New climo at DCA means we won't be past peak heat climo for a few weeks...and we all know we'll probably still have HHH weather until late September

Thinking our only hope is if some outflow can push out from those storms and serve as a trigger further east.

Which NAM are you looking at. The 12z NAM nest was fairly unimpressive other than some scattered storms that looked sub-severe. Earlier run maybe?

Some of that is just how the HWRF depicts banding features in tropical cyclones. No doubt there could be an iso tor threat to the east of the track - but I'm not sure I'd classify it was "very scary"

Lots of LSRs showing up. This will be a hefty report/ground truth day.

LWX has a big gap between expiration and issuing the new warning.

Radar certainly has that training look to it - thinking first round has the severe stuff and then a lot of hefty rainfall with the stuff forming behind. Going to be a rocky evening for many.

Some VERY nice claps of thunder already in Colesville, MD

Cell in Montgomery is looking better and better. Hail marker increasing on it - and looking at the cell in GR2AE it is looking intense.

Revising this now - seeing some good wind above the surface on velocity. Looking better with each scan.

Not terribly impressed with the warned storm so far. But it's also very close to the radar site.

I've used it! I actually have used Cyonara 9.7 for years as well. Seems to work well against the spiders and crawling - but the wasps always find a way through. They do die off within a day or so of entering - but a day is a while to have a wasp flying around.

Down to 77.5 here!

@coolio - replying over here. I've heard GREAT things about mini splits (ductless). But from what I've heard they can be even more expensive than that. Haven't done a ton of research, though. Reduct work sounds like such a pain. This house was built in the 60s and it was sort of the "fixer-upper" of the neighborhood. There is like a single vent that gets any air movement on the top floor (and it's a bathroom!).

They will probably be sub-severe, though. Boundary just went through here.

One of the best defined outflow boundaries I've seen on radar this year.

It was a long time coming. I've done some research and it just sounds like even with the best designed window units they just can't seal 100%. Just so happens that I get wasps on the front of the house that love to find ways in. Main A/C cools the lower floors fine, but has a ton of trouble getting to the upper floors. (banter, I Know). ZERO wasps or even ants so far this year... Fans, fans and more fans have been working OK so far. But the past few days have ben brutal getting to sleep. Based on radar I'm cautiously optimistic. @high risk - over in the severe thread says they'll likely lose their punch as they come east. A quick shower or storm would do wonders.
