  1. ERC well underway. Seems to be going rather smoothly.
  2. Convection wrapped fully around the eye the past couple frames. Could easily be a major by 8pm
  3. The Salton sea averages 5-6 inches of rain per year and the saline body of water is highly toxic. Honestly not sure what a years worth of rain in 48 hours will do.
  4. Kathleen (1976)is a very good analog. Described as a 1 in 160 year event https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Kathleen
  5. Pretty unbelievable honestly. I can't imagine more than a weak TS by the time it reaches CA, but could be a significant flood threat
  6. TFW the first TS landfall in the US this season could be San Diego.
  7. Current CAMs seem to suggest the morning MCS will be the main event (strong to borderline severe storms), with some scattered strong storms behind it. Usually these large MCS systems do put a damper on several storms later in the day, even if they clear out by mid morning.
  8. Seems like timing is the big question. May move through too early in the day. Parameters aren't as impressive either way, but a nice line of storms regardless.
  9. Yeah, for sure. While I love me some severe storms, it's a fine line between a good show and property damage, insurance claims, or worse. My gut is this will be a pretty classic widespread strong/severe wind outbreak, but nothing high end and not much in the way of tornadoes.
  10. First 45% wind prob for RAH since Oct 2019, first Moderate risk for Blacksburg WFO since April 2019. I think this one deserves a thread!
  11. Enhanced risk for most tommorow, primarily wind driven. Since the enhanced category was introduced in 2015, RAH hasn't been under one during the month of August
  12. Although it's disappointing that the mountains will prevent more significant rainfall today, it's nice to see a forecast high in the 70s. This brings to an end a 42 day streak of highs at 80 or higher, which is fairly close to the average for the longest stretch of the year
  13. True, although water temps still certainly a limiting factor, even with such crazy anomalies.
  14. On the plus side, we are now more than halfway through the hottest 90 days of the year. Also...a slow decline towards the winter solstice.
  15. It did some restructuring and now it has a double eyewall that it will likely maintain through landfall. Pretty neat stuff!
  16. I nominate this one for strangest looking cyclone of the year
  17. https://mrcc.purdue.edu/gismaps/cntytorn# Seems to be the first time (unless maybe that fishy looking one right on the border)
  18. From the live stream survey cam
  19. Fortunately it mostly passed through farmland. Brattleboro (population ~500) may have taken a direct hit though.
