Radar imagery now is more textbook of a potent ring around the eye wall characteristic of the higher end majors. Should expect to see influence from the entrance region of the jet as it nears the coastline along with some frictional effects to tighten this small core even further
Up in the big bend, shelf and water depths are relatively shallow compared to the rest of the gulf. If this was moving slow, it’d churn up a good bit of the OHP. In this case, not as much with the storms forward speed.
Don’t be surprised after the line passes in NW zones if there’s clearing 6PM to sunset to add a little more instability to the atmosphere…could cause showers to have quick spin ups, LWX mentioned this in early AM disco. Some stuff back in WV as the line clears quickly.
Baltimore is in line for a real shellacking this time. I had 2 verified severe storms in July so not that bummed I’m missing the thick of this one. Thursday will give another opp.
