  1. 6 hour forecast from the 3km NAM below (College of Dupage) and the actual sounding above. A bit more pronounced warm nose from 650-700mb. Biggest difference to me is that the observational sounding is a good deal drier above the surface. NAM has the Td at 850 at ~16C, and the actual is 12-13C.
  2. 90.3. Warmest of the year so far. DCA at 91 is one off their warmest.
  3. Hope it gets disrupted before Excelsior Springs.
  4. Not always a perfect indicator, but Google Maps traffic shows the areas with slow moving traffic and you can kind of imagine a damage path. If that holds it is possible it scraped Linwood to the NW and didn’t get the higher density areas.
  5. 81 isn’t too bad in the shade, but the full sun is brutal.
  6. I had a trip to Boulder a couple years ago where I never saw the mountains. Horrible upslope flow and low clouds/fog all week. Had a great few nights trip to Garrett Co. Pretty much stuck with hiking/walking in the state parks and forests. Really nice territory. Swallow Falls is a gem.
  7. Hey guys, I left town for a couple of days and haven’t had much cell access today hiking around Garrett Co. Anything happ...oh come on! VP2 says 38 mph thru the trees and 0.50” rain. Still reporting so we have power, which is good.
  8. Up in the Deep Creek area. Little gusty, heavy rain, some lightning.
  9. Contacting LWX is the best route. I have no idea if they actually allow this, but it is worth a try. The other long shot that I could think of is that UMBC has an atmospheric physics Department and they specialize in remote sensing. They might launch occasionally as validation for their instruments.
  10. Awesome. Don’t skip the Tetons.
  11. Ian (sometimes AmWx mid-atlantic member) is playing the Lamesa storm. Looks like he is in a good position on the south side via Twitter.
  12. First 90 of the year at DCA.
  13. It is just so, so much better than eastern ND. Are you out by Medora?
  14. NAM has been trigger happy over the last week. HRRR has been better. Awful, mid-Julyish day out there.
  15. 4 consecutive days between 0.40" and 0.53". Total of just under 2".
  16. I'm on the "just a fluke" side. The proposed mechanisms for artificial enhancement of precipitation by other means (such as pollution from cars) are likely to be seen only in certain very specific local conditions. What we are instead seeing is a continuous parade of synoptic-scale systems. Perhaps the overall Rossby pattern wavelengths are such that there is a repeated pattern on the 6-7 day timescale.
  17. 0.48" yesterday, 3.03" in May so far.
  18. Pouring at IAD. Will be using the covered walkway to the garage.
  19. I am ahead of last year precip to date by 4”.
