  1. I really like the tornado threat for NW Ohio tomorrow to be honest. If that left over line from today's action lays down a boundary as it should, the ingredients are absolutely there. Some of the best lapse rates you'll ever see as well in this region and CAPE could be off the charts depending on when exactly the storms initiate. Could see this thing turning into quite the bow echo after storms start. I personally would head to Defiance tomorrow to storm chase
  2. Las Vegas and Phoenix would be small blips without AC, that's for sure. Keep in mind their winters are fairly chilly as well, but the drier air certainly feels better when it comes to temperature extremes. I know in Charleston many of the old homes built in the 17-1800's have big covered porches, high ceilings & are built long and narrow based on the direction of the seabreeze. Without a seabreeze I have to imagine it'd be pretty brutal
  3. Seems as though we're to a point where community spread has officially ended. Still hope that people are vigilant and get vaccinated with mutations out there, but for all intents and purposes this thing is a similar risk to TB at this point within this country
  4. LCL is pretty high and shear isn't quite there yet. Going to be hard to get these to be true severe storms in my opinion. CAPE is 5000 j/kg so certainly a lot of fuel, but not liking everything at the moment
  5. I think we see some severe weather along the coast today here. CAPE levels approaching 5000 j/kg with modest shear & helicity this afternoon with the approaching front. Dews in the mid 70s south of the front
  6. Kinda crazy that the low that affected us in the Lowcountry on Saturday night is turning into a tropical system
  7. Damn… At 803 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms with torrential rainfall over much of West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island and Downtown Charleston. Although rainfall is slowly diminishing, additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches could still fall through 915 PM. As much as 4.42 inches of rain has fallen near Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston with 3.5 to 4 inches being observed in West Ashley. Radar data suggest as much a 5 to 6 inches may have fallen in some areas of West Ashley into Downtown Charleston. The risk for significant flooding continues.
  8. Hahaha my dewpoint this morning was 78
  9. Dewpoint of 78 this morning at the house
  10. Should an airport have dirt runways?
  11. Man the humidity is definitely back
  12. 11 years ago today, the most powerful tornado I’ve ever encountered. Missed our neighborhood by a mile https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_June_5–6,_2010
  13. Actually this is very correct. The 1918 flu was actually a new strain of bird flu that aided by WW1 flew across the globe. After it's big hit similar to Covid, it experienced "antigenic drift" which mutated it into a more mild bug. Because this was such a dominant virus it became "the flu" that we know about today, just a milder variant. However when that virus mixes with another one in an animal, it turns into another pandemic. That's what happened with the Swine Flu in 2009. I highly recommend everyone to read Michael Lewis's (Moneyball, The Big Short) book "The Premonition: A Pandemic Story" as it's an absolutely fascinating read
  14. Should be amazing to see at sunrise! Somewhere like Port Clinton, OH would be ideal for this
  15. Would you say an online degree is equivalent to an in campus education? It's became very obvious within my company that those teams who have not adopted at least a hybrid model have fallen considerably behind in projects and productivity. We forget how effective being in the same building really is, even if it's only 3 days a week.
  16. Golf courses are ROUGH right now. Part of the tough scoring this week at Kiawah was how firm the course is
  17. Hurricane will solve that eventually lol
  18. Looks like some records are going to fall with this setup. Looks like we may hit 100 each day here in Summerville
  19. Man looks like the heat is going to roar in this weekend. 90s expected in Charleston
  20. No PTSD, just too many people are overly scared of this. Especially if you’re vaccinated
  21. Honestly Columbus was the best city I've lived in, would recommend. It's like a northern Charlotte, a lot of things to do and a much younger crowd than most Midwest cities. Also very clean place. Ann Arbor was cool but a tad pricey & hipster for me for what it was. Move to Columbus, get in that drawing for $1 Million and get that cheddar lol I do want to say this as well, good on Ohio to end these mandates soon. I believe all mask mandates nationally need to end within the next couple of weeks as we need to do mental healing among those most afraid of this virus. I see it in some of your guys post on this thread, there are clearly those who I'd say are essentially traumatized by this event. Saw a lot of this after an EF-4 hit by my hometown killing 7 people, for the next year or so people would be running to their basements for just a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. These fatal events can be traumatic, and keeping stringent public health policies in effect when a widely available safe & effective vaccine is there is just not needed and reinforces that fear. We all need to get our shots and move on.
  22. https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2021/03/24/weeks-into-spring-break-adults-under-50-spur-covid-rise-in-florida-tourism-hubs/ Also it's what spurred it last year. When Southern states were the first to open up due to incredibly low case loads, folks hit I-95 and I-75 en masse to visit these areas. Even Charleston averages 7 million vacationers a year. I won't lie, coming from Ohio it's odd to live in a place like this
  23. What a misleading post. Florida has had no surge in cases, in fact its numbers inline with Michigan despite having double the population. It'd be even lower if it wasn't a major vacation spot either, too many Northerners bringing their covid with them
  24. Would see these quite a bit when I lived in the Great Lakes. Very cool to be honest, just would get the brief bursts of convection that was almost entirely hail.
