  1. Already flash flooding in southern Nevada
  2. May just miss peak. It's about to move over much cooler waters.
  3. Isla Socorro, which is about 80 miles East of where the center passed, recorded sustained winds of 45 mph and gusts of 70 mph
  4. Seems the inner core is still quite small
  5. Climo is beginning to work in our favor, about 2/3 of the time the prior two weeks are hotter than the upcoming two weeks.
  6. As much as it's disappointing to have missed the peak, this is vital data in terms of determining how quickly Hilary will regain strength. I suspect it's mixing out a bit of dry air ingested during the ERC and is just now starting to restrengthen, since the ERC completed several hours ago
  7. The San Diego WFO has never been under a day 3 high risk. The last day 1 high risk was Feb 14 2019
  8. Like like a plume of moisture (PRE? Atmospheric river?), could cause flash flooding well before Hillary arrives for the dry side of the divide
  9. ERC well underway. Seems to be going rather smoothly.
  10. Convection wrapped fully around the eye the past couple frames. Could easily be a major by 8pm
  11. 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.
  12. Kathleen (1976)is a very good analog. Described as a 1 in 160 year event https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Kathleen
  13. 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
  14. TFW the first TS landfall in the US this season could be San Diego.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. True, although water temps still certainly a limiting factor, even with such crazy anomalies.
