  1. I bet a lot of people are pretty surprised about this storm but anytime you have a tropical anything over the gulf you got to pay attention if you life on the coast.
  2. Fixed once again, thank you for telling me still new to making threads and stuff so it’s fine to bug me.
  3. Just edit your original post for the thread and change the title. Fixed, thank you.
  4. Sorry, I don't know how to change its name... how do you?
  5. I guess the wedge won out once again.
  6. Since the storm is over the gulf now and could be threat to the U.S if it can get it's act together thought it was time for a thread, though it will most likely be nothing but a rainmaker.
  7. After looking at this thread I have to think that climate change (caused by us) is linked to these storms in some way. This is simply due to when the atmosphere heats up the ocean heats up and when you get worse storms. We have also seen a noticeable uptick in RI in storms right before landfall, which would make sense given that the ocean's temperature is rising, the simplest explanation is that climate change is making these events worse. As for flooding that is an area that we have pretty conclusively linked to climate change with how warmer air can hold more moisture and we have seen that with record breaking floods. With all of these events happening at the same time the simplest explanation is that the climate is changing because of us and this is leading to worse storms.
  8. On one hand it is a bit disappointing that we missed the tornadoes and flooding around DC but we did have the overnight supercell which was at least something. We also do have to know that this was probably the best outcome for us where we missed out on what New York got, who knows maybe we are missing events now so we can get a storm this winter. Oh well at least it feels nice outside.
  9. What when’t wrong for the Tor threat in DC? Was it the morning supercell robbing instability for later? If so how did other areas further north get worse tors?
  10. With tornadoes to the East and North of DC I have to wonder if that supercell overnight caused there to be less instability over the immediate suburbs, if anyone who knew what was going on would answer I would be grateful. Also if that is not it then what is causing storms to be lackluster in the immediate DC area even when areas to the north have tors(besides crapvection because areas to the north have had that too so I just dont understand why they have tors and DC does not)?
  11. September Banter 2021 Found a place for everyone who is complaining.
  12. Got my Mom to get me out of school at 2 instead of 2 55 so she doesn't need to wait in the pick up line with the storms. Also wanted to get out of our under construction school before the really bad storm start.
  13. Right under the northern part in Franklin Farm, two huge thunder claps woke me up and then there was just constant lightning (1 per second) and my whole family woke up. Have 2.80 inches of rain and the lightning is now stopping a bit. Whole family has said that they have never seen anything like it and the weird part is that there has been little thunder except if it is super loud. Anyways looks like the storm is just a taste of what's to come. That said there have been near constant spin ups so this shows how any storm even at night can be rotating in this environment, I really hope schools decide to not open today. Also the power has gone off and on three times.
  14. Luckily tomorrow I'll be in a school with no cell service and is under construction with half the hallways just being pipes and wires so there is no chance anything goes wrong.
  15. Looks to have a broken line of supercells hit tomorrow around 7pm there is a line before that is even more scattered in nature but with these scary looking cells as well, definitely will be something bad that happens to someone tomorrow but where is still to early to tell.
  16. After looking at the latest NAM run we can now pretty confidently say that a major precip event from this storm is looking more and more unlikely, so we should probably just shift to thinking about severe for this storm. Also we can always count on the northward trend within 48 hours on a storm that looks borderline for us tropical or winter.
  17. Discussion/OBS, made the other tropical storm thread of the season and thought I'd make this one as well. Banter is fine after I would like to post in my own thread. Keep complaining to a minimum. Happy forecasting and lets hope Ida does not end up like every snowstorm we've tracked this year.
  18. I used to love watching the weather channel, now I don't unless its winter and there is a storm. I would come home from school in 5th grade to weather underground (back when weatherunderground still was somewhat scientific and new) so excited to see the latest storms during the winter... never got those dark purples on the map though, always went to the north. Now I still like turning on weatherunderground if a storm is coming but its more of a memory/nostalgia thing, still can be ok to watch but not great for a main source of information.
  19. Did you mean sand drifts? If not you really are as old as Mappy thinks you are.
  20. Not only being an terribly awesome picture but we can continue to see clouds "peaking" and building more than before on the western eyewall. This once again shows that no this is not leveling off and that a CAT 5 before landfall is not impossible.
  21. Looks like a chainsaw, hard to imagine anything it heads into lives. Also the dark black on the eyewall continues to expand which shows strengthening.
