EFO tornado confirmed yesterday afternoon down here in Lancaster County near Denver.  About as small as you'll see though, only on the ground for a single minute, with a path width of only 10 yards and a path length of a tenth of a mile.

Oh boy.

My wife and I were at Sam Lewis yesterday afternoon, sitting on a bench. I'm enjoying the view, she's on the 'Book. She tells me that she sees something about a tornado in Lancaster county that had just happened...I immediately start laughing hard and mock her for her insistence on getting "fake news" on the 'Book. I tell her that there was NO way a tornado was anywhere close to Lancaster, the conditions weren't right, there was very little on radar, etc. 

I'm going to have to go home and walk this down now. Great. More ammo for her to get her weather info from the 'Book...

This is "Day In The Life" material but sadly those days are over.

  Once again, I'm not claiming to be anything close to Ace, but I enjoy pretending, lol. To my amateur eye, IAD just needed a little more veering to the north in  the mid to upper levels and a little cooling above 250mb, and IAD would have had some sig hail issues today

Unfortunately, the latest sounding for IAD has lost most of its juju and really narrowed the cape field down to a sliver.  Im assuming the warming above 225mb and those little inversions from about 675mb down to 950mb are a marine layer and to blame  . I realize we are not in Baltimore, but it's the closest observed sounding I know of to practice with. I'm not ruling out any thunderstorms or rain this evening just pointing out something I noticed at IAD.
