TalcottWx Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Guys, Where do you get your bufget data from? My old web site is not working (ie "ftp://ftp.meteo.psu.edu/pub/bufkit/RUC/latest/ruc_kunv.buf") None of the data from that site will load in bufkit for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Right now it looks like crap, but we should see some big improvements going into the evening. Thanks. At some point I'll come to grips with soundings. Maybe. I can sum up for you. I like the little twister for an exclamation point. Well done!

yoda Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Updated morning AFD from LWX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC 1054 AM EDT WED OCT 19 2011 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL IMPACT THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION THIS WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... -- Changed Discussion --SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE ACROSS SW VIRGINIA AND A SECOND BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FROM THE CAROLINAS THROUGH SE VA. NICE COLD WEDGE NOTED IN THE SURFACE PATTERN. AREA OF WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL FROM THIS MORNING HAS MOSTLY DIMINISHED. HOWEVER...PATCHY LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. DO EXPECT WEDGE TO BEGIN ERODING LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRIMARY LOW CENTER MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. AS THE WEDGE BEGINS TO ERODE...BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER WILL ALLOW FOR MINIMAL HEATING. ONLY MARGINAL INSTABILITY EXPECTED AT THE SURFACE...WITH CAPE VALUES BLO 1000J/KG. HOWEVER SHEAR/HODOGRAPHS REMAIN IMPRESSIVE. WARMING ALOFT WILL INHIBIT STEEPENING LAPSE RATES. IF WE CAN GET CONVECTION TO ROOT AT THE SURFACE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF BECOMING SEVERE. MAIN THREAT OF SEVERE SHOULD BE WIND DAMAGE...BUT WITH GOOD SHEAR...A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
