  1. I maintain that SVR-Considerable with Tor Possible wording would have sufficed. 65 mph EF-0 is only 5 mph over base SVR. I don't believe there was any threat beyond a QLCS spinup of what we saw, and that took the open water and maybe a boundary to make it happen.
  2. There was an SCN that went out about it last year and there was no indication in there that there was going to be a replacement or complementary service. The SCN went put at about the same time as other things which were curtailing the access / dissemination of climate information.
  3. Very few perfectly clear areas that did not have smoke or clouds muddying the signal, but yes! Federalsburg on the eastern shore was about the best.
  4. Photo of the eclipse today from College Park by Dr. Ross Salawich, a professor in Atmospheric Sciences Department here at UMD.
  5. Mosquito larvae don't care about cold. If you've ever been to the Minnesota or Canadian Northwoods or Alaska in summer you're gonna get swarmed. The joke in Alaska is you need a frying pan to kill them they're so big. And those locations get down to -40 and below. I do know that Mosquito spawning cycles are temperature and moisture dependent but I'm not knowledgeable beyond that.
  6. Those are bad velocities from the dust / bugs etc. ahead of the gust front.
  7. I don't understand the reasoning for the TOR... It's pretty clearly cold pool driven outflow.
  8. I don't think a lot of the big velocities are making it to the surface (lack of DCAPE, and surface friction) but somewhere in there should be seeing 60 mph, which is plenty 'round here to take down limbs and old trees onto wires.
  9. You've recovered nicely. The area is still 5-7 degrees cooler than south of I-70 but it's recovered a lot faster than I expected.
  10. Lasted 20 minutes doing garden labor before checking out... this sucks. Bring on the 50s.
  11. Boundaries flying everywhere
  12. For an Eskimo you're pretty weird being comfortable in this heat.
