Some severe weather potential today...thoughts?

Get a reel for it, makes it much easier.

What are anyone's thoughts about some nice warm frontal elevated storms tonight? Usually these have loud thunder due to the acoustics created by the front

Great news: https://www.foxnews.com/science/moderna-positive-phase-i-data-potential-coronavirus-vaccine The Phase I trial of mRNA-1273 saw all patients receive a 25 microgram, 100 microgram or 250 microgram dose. Fifteen patients were in each group and those who participated in the study received two doses of the potential vaccine via an injection in the upper arm, 28 days apart. At day 43, the group that received 25 micrograms, saw the same level of antibodies as people who had recovered from the disease. At day 43, the 100 microgram dose group saw levels of antibodies that "significantly exceeded the levels" seen in those who had recovered from the disease, the company added.

Definitely not as much rain as predicted. Happy about that...and especially happy for this: Hello Spring, nice of you to show up... Tuesday Partly sunny, with a high near 65. East wind 9 to 13 mph. Tuesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 46. Southeast wind 10 to 13 mph. Wednesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 65. Southeast wind 10 to 13 mph. Wednesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 46. Thursday Sunny, with a high near 69. Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 52. Friday Mostly sunny, with a high near 71. Friday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 55. Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Saturday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 54. Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 73.

However, trend is for farther west track of the upper low and less if any influence from any tropical moisture lifting up the Atlantic Seaboard, so it is looking more possible that without stronger steering mechanism to push the axis of heavier rain into NY, it may stay just west over the Ohio Valley. That is certainly a trend showing up in latest guidance that occurs when looking at the 24 hour QPF Monday night through Tuesday. Should note though the trends are dizzying as for reference point, 00z ECMWF with some support from previous runs plastered western NY with 4-5 inches of run total QPF through Tuesday and now that total with 12z run has dropped to mainly an inch or less, other than along the warm front boundary toward Lake Ontario where it shows some locations may receive toward 2 inches.

Operation Warp Speed. Let's do this... Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said earlier this month that it was "doable if things fall in the right place" to have a vaccine by January.

I, for one, am hoping the track shifts SE...

Squall line seems to always form along and east of the Erie shadow. Dang.

The fact that you think the Democratic party wouldn't do the exact same thing is a pretty good indication that you are making a bad faith, non-objective argument.

Yet with the party swapping that regularly occurs in the exec branch via the democratic vote, it tends to balance out the judiciary. I would argue that the majority of the judiciary branch as a whole, has been appointed by Democrats. This admin is balancing that out. The SCOTUS is the same, for the most part, but has shifted right due to timing of new appointments.

That's the beauty of how our Republic is setup...the executive branch can be as secretive as it wants, yet it's still accountable to the other 2. This POTUS was impeached, there are lawsuits against him, and he has zero authority over the SCOTUS. We the people need to let the process work...is it perfect? No. Does it weed out all corruption? No. Is it the best form of government in this world? I would argue, yes.

I don't support corruption of any kind, political, professional, personal, etc. Let the law of the land expose corruption and apply judgement as the founding fathers intended. You or I don't have the absolute truth, knowledge, or authority. All else is biased opinion.

Breaking into the warm sector quite nicely now...

So this EO is to allow the aforementioned areas to move into Phase 1, I believe.

Crazy scenario for sure.... Any thoughts on the severe potential today? I see much of CNY is under an enhanced risk. Looks like some decent clearing will reach NY before the CF passage...

I think Roc his mid-60s today...low was closer to mid-30s.

Listen, I defend every POTUS as a US citizen, period. What I DON'T defend are the policies I don't agree with (for any POTUS) nor do I defend Pres Trump's childish antics and narcissistic ways. With that said, he's ROCKED our political system to the core (which is a good thing), bringing a lot of junk to the surface (another good thing), yet has also brought out a lot of petty stuff in the process (which I don't blame him solely as people make their own choices, but he does hold some responsibility). Is he the perfect leader? No. Is he a perfect person? Not in the slightest. Has he done good things for the US in his 4 years? Many, in my opinion (we can debate this all day long if you'd like). Can we now redirect this thread to COVID focused and not Pres Trump focused?

Moderna's phase 3 COVID RNA vaccine is planned to start summertime. If successful, with our accelerated schedule, may see a vaccine by Q1 2021. Maybe earlier, who knows. There's another vaccine being developed in China which is more like the typical inactivated virus ones we see with the Flu. Not sure I would trust any vaccine coming out of China though.

Ugh. Spring first please.

Was just about to say it's snowing parachutes out there now with a temp of 37.6.

Just for the record, I still love Delta. Our affinity for weather culture will always prevail!

I can't stand some of the things he says and I wish he would stop using Twitter, like 4 years ago! With that, I support and respect all US Presidents, regardless of party, as I think ALL Americans should do. I DON'T agree with all US President's policies, however, and that's how I vote - policies over people.

shill INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN noun an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others. Doesn't sound very nice to me...just sayin'. "Loyal shill" is what you said to be precise.

I'm NOT a fan of Socialism, but there is a distinct difference between a temporary stimulus package and a lasting policy of universal income.
