  1. Really hope a good rainy period puts an end to the fires there.
  2. Whatever you do, don’t end up in a precip hole like @EastCoast NPZ or torchy low elevation spot for snow. I need a good place to chase when the next region wide blizzard arrives
  3. The broad low in the Gulf has been designated Invest 91L. No change in development odds, unsurprisingly. Recon has been scheduled for tomorrow and Friday, though I think they’ll cancel Thursday unless there’s some modest organization overnight/early tomorrow.
  4. What a link. There was a F2 that went 43.9 miles through CT and ended in my town on August 21, 1951. Nine injuries and 250k in property damage.
  5. I've been working nonstop lately. I missed that conversation. The build up to that must have been crazy. I may just be crazy unlucky (or lucky) but I can only recall hail twice imby. Once in DC where I literally ran out the door when I saw it falling, and the other here in CT during thundersleet on 12/30/19.
  6. I am too young to remember this personally, but it’s not surprising central CT couldn’t muster high end severe during one of the benchmark severe events in New England. I’m mostly kidding..
  7. It looks like for the first time in nearly a decade we won’t have a preseason storm in May. That said, the NHC has designated an area in the Gulf with a lemon for 10/20% odds of development. Environment looks marginal at best with high shear and dry air nearby, but the last two cycles of the Euro have been fairly bullish. More than usual for weak TC or STC genesis. Worth a casual eye, especially if convection can consistently fire enough to spawn a surface low.
  8. The smoke from at least one fire shows up incredibly clear on GOES-E. The video here is incredible.
  9. Got some good work in yesterday. Maybe I should consider converting some of the backyard into a real garden. The soil would probably be great for something with the moist soil.
  10. Fantastic day. Fantastic weekend. High of 82.8 here today.
  11. That’s it. The high and mod days where the risk is relatively confined geographically is where you probably get the most convergence. I’ve gone out twice and while I wasn’t lucky enough to get the high end wedges lol I’ve gone to plenty of under the radar setups and gotten good stuff with not a lot of folks around. Edit: and also, like my early tropical chases, the practice is worth it in itself for me.
  12. Thanks. Unfortunately, my neighbor could have used this advice.
  13. It’s absolutely worth it. 100%. You’re well enough versed in tracking and identifying severe to go to places that won’t have as much chaser convergence.
  14. YES!!! Congratulations!!!
  15. I’ll hazard a guess and say this will be the strongest storm of the year globally.
  16. Man, I don’t usually follow WPAC stuff, but Mawar is extraordinary.
  17. Going to be hard to top this globally for 2023. That’s just about perfection for a tropical cyclone.
  18. What do you guys do to get an anemometer/camera on your roof? Who do you call for that? lol
