  1. some options to close tabs to the right, close other tabs, close current tab, and adding tabs. There is an option to mute. I looked for extension options in settings but I don't see extension options. It's so frustrating and annoying. Whoever thought that would be a good idea should be fired
  2. Does anyone know how to stop google chrome tabs from automatically refreshing...stupidest thing ever
  3. Steep mlvl lapse rates FTW! Decent amount of SBCAPE too out in eastern sections.
  4. There is certainly enough directional shear going on to support supercell potential...in fact, perhaps even some right moving supercells. If there are indeed supercells and they become mature enough there probably is golf ball hail potential
  5. I would focus more on MLCAPE over SBCAPE, however, given the presence of mlvl lapse rates approaching 7-7.5 C/KM atop of Td's in the mid-to-upper 60's and sfc temps ranging between upper 70's and lower 80's MLCAPE values 1500-2000 J/KG is not unreasonable. In fact, if mlvl lapse rates are more 7.5-8 C/KM those values would be quite likely.
  6. Yeah hail is always a possibility anytime you're dealing with temperatures that cold around H7-H5 and when you have steep mlvl lapse rates. 6z NAM Bufkit at BWI was generating between 500-700 J/KG of CAPE in the -10C to -30C layer so hail is certainly possible. There are some limiting factors though such as storm mode...that could limit large hail potential but pea's/dime's/nickel's are certainly possible with the more robust updrafts.
  7. Wow...NAM is quite intriguing tomorrow across the Baltimore/Washington corridor. Very steep mid-level lapse rates atop of an unseasonably warm/moist airmass would contribute to moderate levels of instability and steep low-level lapse rates verify this potential. Despite the lack of a stronger more consolidated piece of s/w energy you have a pretty decent amplifying trough with strong height falls. would think we see an upgrade to Slight with Enhanced risk potential if the NAM signal gains support. Would think an area of concentrated and widespread damage is very possible along with the risk for a few tornadoes...though could be mitigated by weaker llvl shear.
  8. That was an idea, however, the number of bees making it inside has escalated quite a bit today. Probably close to a couple dozen which have gotten inside today.
  9. That is a very good point. I don't want those suckers getting inside and all angry. I'm going to take the appropriate measures to get rid of the nest ASAP.
  10. Yes, vinyl siding. I'm going to assess the vinyl siding closer this evening but there are some additional "weakness" I've found but I've at least found the main hole the bees are coming in/out of. I did explore some of the areas where wires enter the house but I didn't notice any activity from those. There seems to be some sort of weakness within the screen door allowing them to come in. Or there are small enough gaps along the edge of the door...but it's crazy how so many would find such small holes.
  11. that’s where the nest looks to be…inside that hole in the siding I put up the glass but the bees seemed to be getting in from the top right and zero clue how.
  12. One day last week I noticed there were several yellow jackets inside on some curtains. So I did some further exploring and found many dead ones on the inside of the window and on the floor behind a piece of furniture. I was stunned because I had just cleaned in that area not long ago. I did some looking around the window area (both inside and outside) and could not figure out how the bees came inside. So I got rid of all the bees. Well the past few days I noticed more bees getting inside. I did some additional exploring and by our front door there seems to be a nest and I noticed bees were coming in from the screen door...from the top right of it and zero clue how because there are no holes. This morning I found several in the kitchen. I sprayed last night in the whole where the bees come in and out of but what else can be done? What also shocks me is...for yellow jackets these things don't appear to be very aggressive. Even inside...they just hang around on an object or walk across the floor. Even when I swat at the ones by the door so they fly outside...they aren't aggressive.
  13. Late Thursday night/Friday could be interesting in terms of convective potential. Maybe a forced line of convection with damaging wind gusts/spinner potential.
  14. Also depends on what we're defining "cool blast" as but you make a strong point. Just looking at 850-temperature anomalies, they don't really deviate much from the "average" behind the cold front. In this warming state of climate if we're going to see below-average temperatures...like solidly below, I'd like to see a rather anomalously cold llvl airmass. Also we should note...the extent of the air behind it is really dependent on how deep that low becomes near Hudson Bay. But given what the airmass looks like now...diurnal heating will likely somehow find a way to get most places a few ticks above-average. This cool blast though will likely be better defined regarding overnight temps than daytime temps.
  15. sounds like a tree-topper or otherwise known as the Kevin-special
  16. I went back the other day and was looking a little closer at it...you could almost argue the signature was actually more suggestive of divergence than rotation.
  17. I know fall is coming... I saw a wolf spider on my bathroom floor this morning. I was standing drying off and I saw something crawling at the bottom of the sink...stupid wolf spider. Even without my glasses I could see it. I was scared because it was only a few feet in front of me so while I was doing my hair I was keeping a close eye on it...which was tough b/c I didn't have my glasses on. In the three seconds I looked at the mirror to get the cute styling going, I looked down...done. I pick up a piece of clothing that I wore yesterday that was on the floor and shook it...IT RAN INTO MY CLOTHES. Not sure if I killed it but there is a little portable heater thing in the bathroom...I picked it up and dropped it on the spider...hopefully the leg of the heater got the spider but I did not see it crawl anywhere after that. WOLF SPIDERS DON'T BELONG IN THE HOUSE
