Beautiful view of distant cumulus nimbus and lightning off to the NW at the moment.

It appears there might be some flys in the ointment. Waiting to see is spc jumps ship.

I'm probably a little late to the ball game today spc has placed SE pa under a slight risk. ...Mid Atlantic... Visible satellite imagery shows mostly clear skies and strong heating occurring over northern/central VA, where a hot/humid airmass is present. Thunderstorms are expected to develop off the terrain this afternoon and spread eastward into the DelMarVa region. Sufficient flow aloft and steep low-level lapse rates will promote a risk of strong storms capable wind damage. Isolated strong storms may also affect south-central VA and northern NC later this afternoon as well. Refer to MCD #1344 for further details.

. My subconscious is always looking for an excuse to lay around for a week during my busy season but this is definitely getting a little repetitive and starting a cut into my finances. The good news is the next few days might not disappoint and have Increasing. storm potential to look forward to.

Slight risk probabilities stayed rock steady overnight for Thursday. ...New England into the Mid Atlantic/Southeast... Relatively rich low-level moisture will stream northward ahead of the front approaching New England and the Mid Atlantic during the day on Thursday. Moderate buoyancy may develop as far north asnorthern NY/VT, with pockets of stronger heating/destabilization farther south into the Mid Atlantic and Carolinas/Southeast. The strongest deep-layer flow/shear is still expected from PA/northern NJ northward into New England, where wind profiles will be conditionally supportive of supercells and organized bowing segments. Damaging winds and perhaps a tornado could accompany the strongest storms in this area. Farther south into the southern Mid Atlantic and Carolinas,deep-layer flow will be somewhat unidirectional and weaker, but still sufficient for some organized convection. Clusters capable of producing scattered wind damage will be possible, especially in areas where stronger diurnal heating/destabilization occurs. Deep-layer flow will be rather weak into parts of MS/AL/GA/SC, but the glancing influence of the mid/upper-level trough and relatively large MLCAPE and PW will support storms capable of producing isolated strong/damaging gusts.

I completely understand. Mundane to me is a week straight of sunny days, clear blue sky's with just enough breeze to gently play the wind chime as the afternoon doves sing back and forth about their lifelong court ship. That bores the living daylights out of me. Call me strange but I spend those days dreaming of 100-degree weather with muggy nocturnal thunderstorms or digging two feet of snow out of my driveway after mud wrestling the female clown midgets and old Jack three legs from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Just Satan !!. You should have left the box closed. RIP Mittens .

The good The Bad And the to be continued.

Ok Strange. Dont get to down on yourself . Your feelings about the weather are justifiable.

Thank you mother nature for the most epic season of Kayaking and Small Mouth fishing.

As Canderson mentioned yesterday there is some timeing differences at play . Either way I think the biggest news will be the flash flooding here in cpa. The local water sheds have done a great job this year absorbing and shedding but I think there number is up atp.

Scattered thunderstorm development will be possible along/ahead of the front from the Carolinas/Mid Atlantic into New England during the afternoon. Wind fields will generally be stronger with northward extent. Depending on the extent of destabilization, supercells and organized clusters will be possible across parts of New England and perhaps the northern Mid Atlantic, which would pose some threat of all severe hazards. Farther south into the southern Mid Atlantic and Carolinas, deep-layer shear will be weaker, but favorable low-level moisture, strong buoyancy, and modest midlevel southwesterlies will support outflow-driven clusters capable of damaging winds and possibly some hail. The organized severe threat will tend to decrease with southwestward extent, due to weaker deep-layer flow. However, favorable low-level moisture and buoyancy could support a few strong to locally severe storms along the trailing cold front into parts of the Southeast during the late afternoon and evening

Sorry if you're already aware of this . I didn't stop by the forum yesterday, but for future reference, I would ask the guys at the MA thread . I have seen guys post forcast soundings from pivotal. The LcL should be already plotted and easily visible.

Schrodinger's cat to Satan's Grundle. You're quite the enlightened bartender.

Day 5 Thursday The mid-level trough is forecast to move into the lower Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley on Thursday, as the cold front advances into the central Appalachians. As the airmass ahead of the front destabilizes, scattered thunderstorms are expected to form along and ahead of the front. The models suggest that moderate deep-layer shear will be in place across much of the northeastern U.S., which will likely support organized storms. Damaging winds gusts will be the most likely severe threat.

Maybe one of you northern readers will get lucky.

We are monitoring a possible increase in severe storm probs for Thursday afternoon and evening; we spoke with the SPC concerning a categorical upgrade to MRGL (level 1) severe storm risk. The last 2 runs of the HREF indicate moderate destablization overlapping with favorable deep layer shear on the southern periphery of stronger west-northwest flow aloft. Limiting factors at this stage include displacement of best lift (well to the north) and weak convergence along the southward moving cold front - which reduces confidence to some extent. We would anticipate at least a MRGL risk on day 1 if a stronger signal for robust development emerges with time. PWATs continue to trend higher into Friday ~1.5" with a good signal for scattered showers and storms particularly across south central PA into the Susquehanna Valley. Cloud cover and weak low passing by to the southeast could limit instability over most of the area with the synoptic setup favoring some locally heavy/slow moving downpours. Cloudy and foggy conditions expected Friday night with some scattered rain showers hanging around into Saturday morning.

It's never to late for rice and cranberries according to TCC.

How bout that one Jns lol big booms
