  1. Joaquin and Andrew were. They were both below normal ACE seasons, which this one will likely be.
  2. CFS looks the best and it still isn't good. Going to have a lot of trouble getting anything from Africa or the Caribbean this year.
  3. I doubted it was 65mph at 11pm, but low and behold the Atlantic is the new Gulf of Aden.
  4. Low shear + Lots of dry air + Warm water = Midget Storm
  5. There is a small well defined vortex, the kind that's usually underestimated by guidance. 95L would be a TD already maybe even a TS if there was a recon. Still has another 24-36hrs before the environment becomes too hostile.
  6. Both the GFS and the Euro have a AEW that teeters on the edge of being a TD for a couple of days this week before getting ripped a part. Would be interesting to see something this far east this early in the season even if it's weak.
  7. AMO and El Nino are show a pretty strong signal for below average activity. Probably going to need the Gulf, Caribbean and subtropical Atlantic to produce if this is going to be a decent season.
  8. Euro has a pretty strong low coming out of the central plains into the Ohio Valley late next week. It would likely result in a multiday severe outbreak. GFS looks totally different.
  9. One of the most photogenic tornados I've seen. LP supercell, in an area with great visibility. Also it has a symmetric barbell shape instead of a cone.
  10. 2018 Tornado stats from 4 states I handpicked. Tells most of the 2018 story. WY: 14 OK: 10 VA:10 ID:9 Edit: Another tornado, right after I make the post. And of course, it's in Wyoming
  11. Looks like it went straight for the biggest tree in West Virginia. I think that's one of the worst hits I've seen a house take from a tree. Feel sorry for the crew who has to remove that thing.
  12. GFS looks bizarre Saturday night. It drops some sort of deathband down from the northeast.
  13. https://envisionfrederickcounty.org/ellicott-city-flood-stop-calling-it-a-natural-disaster/ This guy from 2016 also agrees
  14. https://www.buzzfeed.com/lamvo/national-guard-flash-floods-eddison-alexander-ellicott-city?utm_term=.rmA34VbAw#.owB2b586B It was a woman with a cat, not just a cat.
  15. 1 death is not a lot, considering how bad the video looked. Most people must have gt to higher ground in time.
  16. http://darkroom.baltimoresun.com/2016/07/from-the-vault-historic-floods-in-ellicott-city-maryland/#1 Even take it a step further Baltimore Sun has reported on a lot of them.
  17. Rain totals are bad, but downtown Ellicott city is in a bad geographic spot. 144/Frederick Rd was built parallel to a Patapasco tributary that has a funnel point right where it enters the a Patapasco, which is right where downtown is. Water has nowhere to go but up and faster during a big rain, hence the class death rapids that destroys anyone and anything unlucky enough to be on that part of 144 when a flash flood happens.
  18. Lots of thunder. Surprised the storm isn't warned.
  19. Now this is almost like a storm moving up the Gulf of California.
  20. Luckily that's in the SW part of the county well away from Frederick, easy to bypass without causing a traffic nightmare. But of course we have more chances for flooding the next few days, in case yesterday didn't do it.
  21. Hope so. Returns have dropped off quite a bit so hopefully that means the new line won't be as strong.
  22. They caught up to downtown. It is on the top of ridge though so it drains a lot faster.
  23. Don't drive at all in Frederick right now. Easier than naming specific streets.
  24. A lull, but only cause it back-built to our north again. Bad news cause we'll probably go back through it again.
