It was a bad start to the day in Hartford and points east but who cares. That’s the pattern.

Hot, humid, and east coast tropics threats.

It's straight stupid how anomolous the current 28°C isotherm is across the MDR. I always pay more attention to that as it's really the harbringer of major hurricane potential. As soon as the upper atmosphere begins to settle into more of a late Summer / July pattern combined with La Niña and weakening trades, I fully expect an early onset of CV ASO+ and a hyperactive season. Totally agree. 2024 has been in a class of its own so far. I also think the SSTA distribution makes it less likely for stability issues in the MDR? Seems like a good +AMO setup. What’s another year with the classic horseshoe distribution? From Andy Hazelton: 29C for May 14 is just off the charts absurd.

I’m guessing it’ll be mostly straight line winds. I think there was one TDS near Houston. Basically a cat 1 rolled through the region. Interesting how the actual obs sites had lower reported gusts. Phil ripping glass out of skyscrapers type stuff. Insane.

Grid demolished. Over a million outages statewide and 40% of Harris County without power.

That was a big dog that hit Harris County and Houston. Hundreds of thousands without power and extensive damage reports coming in.

Great feed. Looked like a heck of a storm. Spotter reported a tornado.

I usually wait as long as I can to install. It’ll be another few weeks for me if we’re not tickling 90 consistently.

It’s about time. Hopefully a dry period too.

Funny enough, in a TWC segment yesterday on the technology now available for hurricane recon, one of the scientists mentioned how the concept behind “Dorothy” is now more real than ever with sail drones and such.

GFS has it quite wet here tonight. That zone is bouncing around a bit on guidance.

The seedlings are all over my back yard

2020 2024

This weekend is probably the greatest example of why I chase. If I leave it to luck I’ll get screwed every time. A literal global celestial event and I ended up in a place with overcast. It’s always the ones you miss…

Solid little storm that rolled though. I’m just NW of Baltimore.

Apparently supposed to continue through at least Sunday. I don’t remember 2003 but if that holds true this seems like a pretty long duration event. My best chance would probably be Sunday night. Not sure if the X5.8 is directed toward Earth.

It seems like it was more the data assimilation from the GFS than anything. It’s supposedly better, but still problematic at times.

@WxUSAF it’s like a 950mb Miller A dropped a foot of snow from Key West to Nova Scotia…and DC-Baltimore dry slotted.

With me being away from home the better part of two weeks it’s probably early growth forest at this point. Backyard grows like crazy with a constant water supply from my hill.

Congrats to all who got in on the global event. I had clouds (in Maryland).

We hope and pray. I’m in Maryland tonight lol.

Back up to G5 and another X class CME came off tonight. X5.4. Just crazy stuff.
