  1. And he knows his stuff. When he talks, I pay attention. Doesn’t mean he’s always right, it’s the nature of being a meteorologist.
  2. Just went out. I could smell it.
  3. Yeah, and I think one reason this nino has not collapsed (yet) despite lack of wwbs is that there’s a ton of subsurface warmth
  4. In cpc’s recent update the model anomaly forecasts showed a temporary pause or slight cooling in July, then resume warming up Aug-Oct.
  5. My mom's house in FXCo is getting hammered now
  6. Got jumped again. Ashburn. So this is how it’s gonna be…
  7. Much higher than 6-8k ft. Once you start seeing anvils forming, those towers have already reached the tropopause.
  8. LWX seems a little late with their morning update. Gun shy about this afternoon?
  9. I wouldn't be surprised if areas that got no rain yesterday gets it today, and vice versa.
  10. I think I saw the genesis of the cluster that went through NE MD earlier. Started out as an innocuous cumulus that didn’t really stand out. Only a few minutes later, it was a towerhead. An hour later, huge anvil covering the entire NE quadrant from my POV (ashburn). Blue skies all around it. Sour grapes for getting zip imby aside, it was a really cool progression to see from behind.
  11. Seeing some towerheads building to my NE now. Gray high clouds to my W makes it look like something is brewing, but hard to tell
  12. 90 at KIAD and a few other personal stations around and east of 15
  13. 7.6 C/km is no slouch. Especially now that the cloud deck has already cleared
  14. 87/71, sunny with clouds thinning out and 5 minutes later: 88/72. Juicy
  15. Clouds starting to thin out a bit. Dews back up to 70
  16. Dews momentarily dropped to 66, but faught back up to 68. North of M-D line got watched. Nothing yet down here, but should be soon. Something popping up SW of cumberland
  17. 84 already, Some cirrus cover rolling in, but dews staying at around 70
  18. Cirrus clouds are back. I understand why some are having doubts on today. Really tough situation for forecasters. If they portray this as just another summer day with a chance of tstorms and they overperform, they're going to get hell for underplaying it. OTOH they talk up the severe and it underperforms, they'll be seen as the boy who cried wolf... and lives might get lost the next time a severe event actually verifies.
  19. To me, that means east based is off the table for now. Nino3.4 probably still has some warming to do and pull that forcing a smudge east over the dateline. Then we’ll be in good shape for winter if that pans out.
