  1. Only one I remember off the bat that exceeded expectations on multiple rounds (though my memory sucks with these) is July 1, 2021. Localized excitement, but the storm that produced a tornado in DC and Arlington was the third of the day, if I recall right.
  2. Swear I’m seeing some gentle rotation IRL looking towards College Park
  3. https://x.com/lopwx/status/1795186188237611014?s=46&t=YRAxGyE8QLsoshMtJniktg
  4. Seeing a decent looking wall cloud (or, looks like a wall cloud) from some of the local chasers.
  5. I’ve seen some convincing dialogue on Twitter that mergers help initiate rotation. Though that may apply more to prime environment Great Plains storms as opposed to the slop in our mountains lol
  6. Think that’ll earn a TW shortly with the kink just west of MRB.
  7. Better dynamics definitely seem to be down in the Tidewater area. Feel like no sunshine here bodes poorly for interesting severe.
  8. Just got the tornado watch notification. Little surprised.
  9. Honestly, this looks like tornado damage from Culpeper last night. Eating my crow now! https://x.com/harrythomvi/status/1795126961896927506?s=46&t=YRAxGyE8QLsoshMtJniktg
  10. I’ll admit it, that’s better than I thought it looked. Who knows. It is also possible for debris to get lofted with strong winds in general. I did notice the “TDS” and circled it in RadarScope and thought it aligned more with a dead zone on radar than the circulation, but this could be one of the many reasons I don’t work for LWX! Edit: that said if LWX thought it was on the ground recently I doubt they’d’ve dropped the warning
  11. I’m skeptical personally… didn’t look like it lined up with the rotation, which looked very broad. If any eventual survey comes up with something, I’ll eat my words, though!
  12. If I squint my eyes I can see it… but whatever, better safe than sorry.
  13. Seems justified with the wind damage reports coming in… the segment running up 29 looks particularly nasty. We’ll see if it makes it!
  14. Lame. Was considering “storm chasing” tomorrow in EMD since I have no exciting Memorial Day plans. Let something spin up as it goes over the Bay and go from there. Guess I’ll see what happens tomorrow.
  15. Feels like a storm day. I’m trying to be out and about from 6-8 or so… hoping it blows through fast or not at all!
  16. Couple folks caught the aurora in Shenandoah again. Good for them! But night one was definitely the move.
  17. Solar cycle doesn’t peak til 2025… probably have at least a 2 year window for another whirl. It was visible from the Shenandoah last year too, so maybe 3 years?
  18. I posted this earlier but then deleted after doing more digging… that is apparently in reference to the forecast for the early morning today hours that didn’t pan out, if I now understand it correctly.
  19. Don’t think anyone really knows, but the NWS SWPC says CMEs will arrive “later today” — I guess if it was late enough we’d have a shot. https://x.com/nwsswpc/status/1789647663484334251?s=46&t=YRAxGyE8QLsoshMtJniktg
  20. Surprised it’s not warned with how LWX gives them out like candy
  21. Set an alarm for 4:00am with the full expectation that it’s a waste of time. But if it’s not, maybe I’m the only photographer who gets the elusive Capitol + aurora shot!
