Looks slightly too warm here, and this morning I don’t think has gone the right direction so far. I need to see if I can make a trip next month when the good stuff starts happening at elevation.
-
Definitely counted wrong yesterday morning, but ended up around half an inch maybe just under. Nice to see some sun though!
-
.43” and radar has nothing significant for a few hours at least if ever. Kinda disappointing but expected with recent CAMs down here. Every storm recently has had a precipitation hole here. edit: counted wrong earlier with the sub-hourly obs

Got chilly pretty quickly! 29.5° at Canaan NWR
-
The sun goes down so early now. You don’t realize how fast it changes when you work evenings and miss the sunset each night.
-
Really gloomy day with some mist but nothing measurable. Hopefully this event isn’t a dud, but the coast seems to not like the rain. Interested to see how windy it gets.
-
Awesome 75° with approaching bay showers
-
No big rain yet here, but some lightning flashing through the window and rumbling happening. Wonder if this stuff can propagate south and soak outside overnight.
-
At least September means the heat can’t possibly stay too long right? Right? This year has been boring weather-wise since February here in comparison to elsewhere in VA. At least it’s wetter in recent weeks!
-
0.21” No close lightning this evening.
-
The part about the RAP is interesting to me because it seems like SPC Mesoanalysis is created using the RAP. I wonder how much work it is to change all that over unless something else replaces it like WoFS. Edit: I guess they did it in 2012 with the RUC

Got a 26mph gust and almost lost my hat! The convection went up right after passing over so the rain was underwhelming.

That video isn’t from this year. I think it was actually on the Corrotoman River on July 4th, 2022.

It can be impossible to see tornadoes when they are rain wrapped during the day, and it’s especially hard at night. We don’t have a ton of storm chasers constantly out watching around here with trees and terrain. If the rule were to wait for the radar to show it’s picking up debris, then it’s already doing damage and by the time the radar has actually scanned it, and the warning is issued, someone may have had no warning and potentially has been injured or worse. I don’t see why it’s an issue to go to safety and come back uninjured and resume life as normal. I also don’t know what technology we have if any currently that can change the need for caution besides maybe radar improvements which I hope are coming like phased array.

Some slopvection keeps appearing overhead which I imagine will ruin potential for later even though storms rarely do well after dark here.
