  1. Apparently there was a sasquatch. sighting in the neighborhood that I'm working in. They said that it's wearing an orange shirt and a black hat.I looked everywhere.I think these people are full of s***.
  2. Hopefully, every thing turned out, okay with your friends. I was out catching bait with my son and didn't even peek at the radar yesterday. When I get home from work i'll look at storm paths and trajectories, but it doesn't seem like I was most likely looking at that cell.
  3. That idea hinged on robust support from the mid levels to aid in that lift . I don't think they're so sure that that will even happen to be honest.
  4. I'm pretty sure I took a picture of it sneaking by me In the rain from pinchot park.
  5. Spc hasn't been too impressed either. The only one that has any mention of an EML surge has been NWS and they're still holding on to that in their discussion, although I expect changes are coming.
  6. Light rain and thunder over head here at the beaver creek inlet at Pinchot park Edit for update Looks like I just got missed by something a little bette. Watched a couple forks come out of that lowering hiding in the rain.
  7. Anyways, i've talked about this for several years and no one's ever really responded to it. But i've used LEMPs for years while i'm driving and working to know what's going on out there. Think of Cipher in the Matrix. Once you've listened long enough, you can make out the kind of stroke, whether or not it's getting closer and intensity. In the context of storms and meteorology, LEMPs stand for Lightning Electromagnetic Pulses. [1] They refer to the powerful, disruptive electromagnetic waves naturally radiated into the atmosphere during a lightning discharge. While they may not pose a physical shock risk to humans directly unless struck by lightning, they can induce dangerous power surges that damage or disrupt electronic devices and power grids. [1, 2, 4] Because lightning activity and cloud-to-ground strikes are a primary indicator of thunderstorm severity and structure, meteorologists utilize artificial intelligence and ground-based sensors to analyze LEMPs to understand a storm's behavior
  8. Indeed A cell out there somewhere right now putting out some insane LEMPs. Tune in to an unused, a m frequency and listen you have to choose an a m.Frequency, that puts you between a tower and a storm. You'll know when you get there, you'll hear it.
  9. I'm picking up abnormally, strong lightning strokes on my Am radio stations. The strokes generally don't cause this much interference at such long distance.
  10. I completely agree, chances are this will be sporadic at best and that's perfectly fine. However, the one thing that all the top dogs have in common is the presence of the EML. It seems to be the main deciding factor between more of the same and a true widespread sig/svr weather when other enhanced indices are present.
  11. I'm not familiar with that outbreak. However, it was a major player in the 5/31/85 outbreak for western pennsylvania. An additional component to the magnitude of the thunderstorms on May 31st was the presence of a significant “elevated mixed layer” (EML) , a common supporting ingredient in severe weather across the northeastern U.S. (Banacos and Ekster). EMLs act as a ‘lid’ in the atmosphere, stopping convection from occurring unless the lid can be removed or sufficient lift is present. The strength of the front and the degree of instability lead to the erosion or breaking of the cap and thunderstorms exploded with violent results. This following two figures from Markowski show 1, the presence of the EML in the 7pm May 31st Pittsburgh sounding and 2, the formation and subsequent migration of the EML across the United States. The following hand-analyzed upper air maps (provided by NWS Cleveland) from the morning of the 31st highlight the significant area of dry air (yellow shading) or ‘cap’ coming into play. The forecaster even analyzed a dryline (the bumpy blue line through the central Plains) on the 850mb map, showing the leading edge of the dry air.
  12. If you dont believe me, then maybe you'll believe the american meteorological society. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/wefo/25/4/2010waf2222363_1.xml
  13. Thursday is looking particularly interesting and it's truly worth keeping an eye on. Keyword elevated mixed layer. That's the main dynamic that keeps us safe out here east of the mighty mississipp and why we almost never see the big outbreaks the central and western united states sees. If it truly surges out ahead, this absolutely could be one for the record books. Contrary to popular belief It's not the mountains, the ocean breeze or lack of unmodified gulf air, thst prevents Central and Western type outbreaks from occurring this far east . EML lag is the true culprit. if we have the EML we're capable of achieving Central and Western United States type indices ,including those gargantuan fat capes in excess of 4000jkg that the MA/NE only see every thirty to forty years.
  14. It's not unusual for me to step away for work and play, tis the season. When it comes to any kind of digital media less is better, so good for you. The concrete reality is, that there's a million different better and healthier ways you can spend time than being online. It's bad for the body and mind.I don't think thst there was any coincidence to the fact that I spent three weeks laid up with bodily injury early this spring. after leading the post count by a large margin, just a few weeks prior. The older I get, the more I notice a correlation between sedentary behavior and emotional and physical discomfort. That said, you're an integral part of this forum and an OG and it wouldn't be the same without you.
  15. Not that anybody probably cares, but I got so far behind in work and life I decided to drop the forum for a while and until I got caught up.
