https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0758.html Mesoscale Discussion 0758 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1127 AM CDT Fri May 29 2020 Areas affected...Northern Mid Atlantic Coast region Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 291627Z - 291730Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms may develop across the Poconos and Catskills vicinity as early as the next hour or or so, with a more general increase and intensification of thunderstorm during the 3-5 PM EDT time frame. With strongest storms expected to pose at least a risk for severe wind and hail, one or more severe weather watches seems probable. DISCUSSION...Insolation within a seasonably moist boundary layer (surface dew points around/above 70F) is contributing to moderately large CAPE on the order of 1000-2000+ J/kg, within deepening surface troughing to the lee of the Appalachians. Mid-level flow remains broadly anticyclonic, however deepening convective development is underway aided by orography, particularly across the Poconos into Catskills vicinity. As a short wave trough accelerates northeast of the middle Ohio Valley/central Appalachians region, mid-level flow appears likely to trend increasingly cyclonic across northern Virginia through eastern New York state. This should contribute to an environment increasingly conducive to thunderstorm initiation and intensification. A coinciding strengthening of southwesterly mid-level flow (30-50 kt around 500 mb), will provide sufficient shear for organizing lines and clusters of storms, with isolated discrete supercells also possible. At least some of this activity will pose a risk for large hail, potentially damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado or two. ..Kerr/Grams.. 05/29/2020 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Hopefully all went well and you are doing better

This looks fun

00z HRRR has some morning activity between 09z and 11z coming up from the south into DC metro... nothing severe... but might make for quite a soupy airmass in the morning as the sun appears... waiting for the rest of the run to see what happens in the afternoon around here ETA: Nothing really through 23z so far... kinda surprised tbh

Scherzer leading the way toward no baseball season https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29232753/sources-mlbpa-counter-mlb-proposal-more-games-full-prorated-salaries

MRGL risk for Day 1... 2% TOR and 5% wind... for i95 corridor and west TOR risk is from N VA into C PA on day 1 OTLK No real disco for our area though besides few short sentences lol SLGT for day 2 for most of LWX CWA... 2% TOR and 15% wind... potential for greater tornado risk stated in disco on day 2 btw... all depends on low level flow and surface wind direction

Well that was a big waste of gas then lol

Good article on how it would all work https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/29225074/nhl-adopts-24-team-playoff-season-returns

I dunno reading this https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29224973/sources-mlb-proposal-includes-pay-cuts-highest-paid-players

NHL regular season over... will resume with 24 team playoff... but not before July 1st per announcement from Bettman @Scraff @nj2va @nw baltimore wx

18/8/4

BWI: 102 IAD: 100 DCA: 103 RIC: 104

SLGT risk for extreme Eastern IA into N IL including Chicago on new day 1... 15% hail and 5% tor

Impressive

Rogue One was excellent... I really hope they make one with Obi-Wan. Solo was pretty good to IMO

mmmm... Falcon you have there... nice it is yes yes. Fan of Solo are you?

Yes... but I still don't see any sustained 80s for the next 7 to 10 days... which i guess is good

@nj2va @nw baltimore wx @Scraff @Chris78 What do you all think of Gudas's comments? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/05/snapshots-gudas-chl-lawsuit-miller.html?fv-home=true&post-id=120193 Perhaps more interesting from the interview however are Gudas’ comments on his future with the Washington Capitals. The veteran defenseman explained that the team is facing a difficult salary cap situation and believes that he and “a lot of the guys with contracts about to expire” will end up leaving the Capitals this offseason. Washington has four players on the NHL roster who are scheduled for unrestricted free agency: Gudas, Ilya Kovalchuk, Brenden Dillon and, perhaps most importantly, Braden Holtby.
