    I think they are saying a couple things... Radar dead zone. Tough to see what's going on. This for me isn't a reason not to issue a warning when a storm looks this threatening. I think they are referring to sidelobe contamination when they are talking about lack of a couplet on DBZ. Not sure I agree with that qualm either, storm has repeatedly shown a hook and again, the radar isn't super reliable. And we've got photos of wall clouds on Twitter... The SBCIN stuff is out of my comfort zone to even begin to talk about but this is what it means apparently: SBLI (Surface Based Lifted Index & Convective Inhibition) is the Lifted Index at 500-mb, based on the surface parcel, and the convective inhibition for the same parcel. These fields are meant to identify areas of surface-based CAPE and minimal convective inhibition, which suggests some threat for surface-based thunderstorms.

    Storm is putting up 400+ strikes/min according to the lightning maps. Gotta be a strobe light on I-64 between Cville and RIC.

    Think another TW might be needed behind it south of Gordonsville. Real nasty storm. If this was ~80 miles north would be the severe wx day of the season.

    Rotation over I-64 looks pretty legit. Wish I was still in Charlottesville, would be a solid chasing op.

    Second warning out… almost looks like one mega supercell with a couple areas of rotation embedded.

    Peter Forister has been posting great stuff on Twitter:

    It’s broad and there still but not as impressive now - hook less apparent on radar.
  9. NorthArlington101
    TOR issued - looks decent on radar.

    Tough to root for derechos personally, but hope folks get what they want and I can erect my house shield in time.

    I need the heat back -- pool is getting cold.

    Any day with multiple rounds of storms usually gets a win in my book. First round in Arlington/Falls Church surprised me -- was halfway to the car wash. Looks like something else small is about to pop through.

    Looks pretty decent this scan

    They are mid-Atlantic rotating. But rotating nevertheless.
  16. NorthArlington101
    Fair enough. You’ll never catch me rooting for TORs anyway but I’m in the Outer Banks so have at your 10% if you can get it
  17. NorthArlington101
    Could be wrong but I almost think that might just because that watch is pretty darn big, lol.
  18. NorthArlington101
    That’s a big box

    Decent gusts ahead of the storms pushing into Cville. Promising start

    To me it also feels like I just went down there… truly doubted everyone who said it would fly by, but they were dead on.

    Tough weather to graduate in, but it happened! Looking forward to my obs getting back to being consistently from Arlington. [emoji4]
  22. NorthArlington101
    It’s a rough graduation weekend down in Charlottesville.
  23. NorthArlington101
    Someone might get the mod… SPC says not us (yet). Down in beautiful Myrtle Beach personally. Hoping you all see something interesting, though!
  24. NorthArlington101
    Absolutely dumping rain in Charlottesville. Unexpectedly wet day.
  25. NorthArlington101
    Didn’t verify severe wind here but the thunder is always loud in the pseudo-valley we’ve got here. Pretty wet too.
