  1. Pouring rain here right now
  2. Looks like its already going to be wrong looking down south
  3. Isn't it retiring soon for the RRFS?
  4. From SPC day 4 to 8 outlook this morning Days 5 and 6/ Thursday and Friday... A slight eastward shift of the mean trough position is forecast on Thursday with some model signal for an embedded short-wave trough to move through the Great Lakes. At the surface, there is some suggestion that a weak front or wind shift will move into the northern Mid-Atlantic during the afternoon with the trailing extension of that boundary stretching through the mid MS Valley into the southern High Plains. Ahead of that boundary, widespread 70+ F dewpoints are expected from New England into the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas, leading to moderate to potentially strong instability. The greatest potential for a few severe storms appears to be across the Mid-Atlantic Thursday afternoon where the moderate instability will coincide with a belt of 30-40 kt mid-level flow. Some severe weather threat may also develop in the Ozark Plateau and AZ Thursday afternoon and evening. On Friday, the above-mentioned Great Lakes short-wave trough is expected to shear northeast across southern ON with 30-40 kt of mid-level flow prevailing over the Northeast. The surface pattern is somewhat disorganized with some semblance of a trough from southern New England through the Mid-Atlantic coastal region. Moderate to strong instability may again develop ahead of that feature, supporting the potential for some severe weather threat during the afternoon and early evening hours. However, the strongest vertical shear is forecast to remain to the north of the stronger instability, leading to uncertainty in the magnitude of the severe threat. ...Days 7 and 8/Saturday and Sunday... The various 00Z ensemble mean solutions indicate a slight eastward shift of an upper low near Hudson Bay with low-amplitude troughing and strengthening mid-level flow moving into the Northeast. Southerly low-level winds within the western periphery of a surface high positioned off the Atlantic Coast will maintain a moist and unstable air mass beneath the strengthening winds aloft. As such, some severe weather threat is expected to persist from the Mid-Atlantic into New England this period. Elsewhere, there is some model signal for a surface front to move into the Midwest, where some severe weather potential may exist.
  5. Looks like @WxUSAF got a sneaky pop up shower
  6. Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0317 AM CDT Sat Aug 01 2026 Valid 041200Z - 091200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Day 4/Tuesday... A broader-scale trough is forecast over central Canada into the north-central U.S. with a series of subtle disturbances moving through the base of that feature. At the surface, a front is expected to move through the upper Great Lakes with the western extension of the boundary settling slowly south through the central High Plains. A severe weather threat may materialize from the mid MO Valley into the central High Plains along the front and in the post-frontal upslope, where an overlap of moderate instability and stronger vertical shear is expected to reside. Elsewhere, a more widespread area of moderate instability developing across southern AZ could support a locally greater risk of severe storms. The extent of the severe weather threat in both areas is currently too uncertain to delineate an area. ...Day 5/Wednesday... The broad, cyclonic flow regime will continue over the north-central CONUS with a belt of slightly enhanced mid-level winds extending from the northern Rockies through the northern and central Plains into the Great Lakes. At the surface, the previously mentioned front will continue through the Great Lakes with the boundary extending southwest through the mid MS Valley into the central or southern High Plains. Similar to Day 4/Tuesday, some severe weather appears possible along the boundary over the lower MO into mid MS Valleys, as well as within the post-frontal upslope across the central High Plains. The subtle nature of the forcing for ascent leads to uncertainty in severe storm coverage, so no area will be included. ...Days 6-8/Thursday through Saturday... The 00Z ensemble means are in reasonably good agreement in depicting the continuation of an upper high over the southwestern U.S. with lower-amplitude troughing over the Great Lakes into the Northeast. At the surface, there is considerable model spread in the location of relevant boundaries that might focus severe storms. That being said, much of the available AI guidance suggests an increasing severe weather threat in the Mid-Atlantic during this time frame. Model trends will continue to be monitored for the possible inclusion of an area in subsequent outlooks. ..Mead.. 08/01/2026

For @CAPE and our Eastern Shore/DE crew Mesoscale Discussion 1790 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0527 PM CDT Tue Jul 28 2026 Areas affected...portions of eastern Maryland into Delaware Concerning...Tornado Watch 529... Valid 282227Z - 282330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 529 continues. SUMMARY...A locally higher tornado threat may materialize in the next 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells have matured ahead of an approaching MCS. These supercells are intensifying within a very moist low-level environment, where 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE is present, and where the DOX VAD shows a modestly sized/curved low-level hodograph and over 200 m2/s2 0-3 km SRH. In addition to showing a modest increase in low-level rotation within the supercells, the absorption of these supercells into the MCS may promote conditionally favorable storm interactions which may briefly heighten the tornado threat. The best chance for a tornado will likely be within the next 2 hours. ..Squitieri.. 07/28/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...AKQ...LWX...

  17. Afternoon AFD from LWX mentioned it DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Severe thunderstorms are possible through this evening, along with a local flash flood risk. MCV over central PA and cold front approaching from NW PA (and general height falls within the upper trough) will serve as forcing to continue the development of widespread showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Shear will be sufficient for supercells, but cluster and bowing segments may eventually dominate, presenting a risk of damaging winds. Discrete storms will have potential for hail as well. A tornado threat may evolve later this afternoon/early evening as a low level jet pivots into the area and the trough takes on a negative tilt. The axis of storms will likely be closer to the I-95 corridor by this time, where winds could also be backed a little more closer to the bay. At the moment, this threat appears a little more isolated and uncertain, but discussion was had with SPC that some areas could be upgraded to a Tornado Watch should discrete storm modes dominate. The forcing features listed above could also lead to some upscale growth or training as the storms get closer to the bay. This might lead to a few instances of flash flooding, especially from Baltimore to the northeast, as precipitable water values approach 2 inches. A Flood Watch remains in effect for this area. Thunderstorms will likely clear off to the east by 10 PM, although there may be a few lingering showers, especially along the Alleghenies.
  18. URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 529 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 420 PM EDT Tue Jul 28 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of District Of Columbia Delaware Eastern Maryland Southern New Jersey Southeast Pennsylvania Northeast Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 420 PM until 1000 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms tracking eastward across southeast Pennsylvania and northern Virginia will move through the watch area this afternoon. Damaging winds remain the primary threat. However, supercell storms may result in a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 10 miles south of Patuxent River MD to 25 miles north northeast of Philadelphia PA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
