  1. Low status/fog has been hanging out all day across some portions of MD, Extreme Northwest VA, and Eastern PA. The result has been a near 20 degree temperature gradient across west-central VA and southeast PA! Some current temps as of 4PM across the area: KSHD 67 (High unofficially 69) KOKV 55 (High unofficially 61) KIAD 60 (High unofficially 62)
  2. I just want to take a few minutes outline the areas that I will be posting about and to introduce myself as I do not post much in general and rarely really post outside of the Mid Atlantic forum. I have been a member since the Eastern era of the board and have been tracking the weather as an enthusiast since the early 2000's. I moved to Southeastern PA to go school at Millersville in August 2008 and graduated from there with a B.S. in Meteorology in 2011. I enjoy forecasting in general and especially mesoscale forecasting. I try to get out and do some local chases, though lately I haven't gotten out as much as I would like too. I hope to keep this blog updated at least weekly with a focus on general forecasting. Obviously during slow times you may not here much out of me. On the other hand, during severe weather days I may use this blog to voice my opinions on the very short term as the event evolves and update several times a day. My "area of interest" (or whatever you want to call it) will generally be the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and the more western suburbs of DC. I may post outside of this area occasionally if there is something overly interesting happening and things are dull here. As a computer/technology, don't be surprised to see the occasional technology oriented post either!
  3. Mesoscale book that I would highly recommend. Served me well at Millersville and has a fair amount of pictures/diagrams if you are a more visual learner. It doesn't really make a hard effort to avoid the mathematics, but it also tries to break things down conceptually so if you have the interest you will likely enjoy it. http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/0470742135 BTW, this a GREAT thread!
  4. Great resource for comparing soundings and overall synoptic patterns to verified events. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/events/
  5. I had to retake ODE in the spring b/c of this storm......
