katabatic Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 ^^I am thinking the same thing. It was 82 here in the Boonies today although we are still drying out from last week's deluge so the dry part isn't applicable here (yet). The warmest it got all last year was 86 IMBY. Hopefully this isn't an omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that may have been the max , I highly doubt 3 inches is attainable.... At least you’re realistic, that’s very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPC 1300z OTLK is MRGL for most of LWX CWA for 5% wind Across the eastern Mid-Atlantic (northern VA/MD/DC/DE/south-central PA), a well-mixed boundary layer and steep low-level lapse rates forecast by some guidance may support occasional strong to damaging winds with convection spreading eastward off the higher terrain of the Appalachians and Blue Ridge Mountains. With limited instability, the overall severe wind threat will likely remain isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The HRRR is actually kind of solid for some of us this afternoon/evening. But almost none of the other guidance seems to agree with it. 6z NAM 3km was snooze worthy and so were the ARW twins. ETA: The HRDPS is pretty okay as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I just got a demonstration of how dangerous lightning can be. Just overcast here and not raining but had a lightning bolt out of nowhere followed by the thunderclap one second later. Here it is on RadarScope and the thunderstorm cell is a few miles to the northeast! That is how people get struck 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
