My wife works for the Maryland government emergency management...she said they had a call with NWS today Sterling, Mt Holly and Wakefield. I asked her if she asked if anyone on the call ever heard of Leesburg 04...she just looked at me and said STFU

In all seriousness though, a number agencies….fed and state/local are actively staging resources to respond to this. Lots of planning calls today.

Could someone explain to me what the difference between data obtained via flights like this and the data that does into any old model run? It seems to me that each suite must have new data, so is it simply more precise for a particularly relevant area when gathered this way?

OK...if it doesn't fail and works out pretty well, how about the "Maestro Mauler"?  Or the "Ludwig Van Lasher"??

Remarkable how slow the NAM comes out

[Rvarookie]

How many of those Hawaiian punches from field day did nacho guy crush today?

[Kay]

So, what sort of data is everyone ingesting this evening?

[Ralph Wiggum]

We need to unleash balloons from Hawaii and Guam to get the data. Seemed to work for China where they sent weather balloons to the US to sample sparse data areas for their weather reports a few years ago

Ingesting so much data for winter storm fern

Nice. Has it shed any additional light on our storm?

[mattie g]

Mentally preparing for H5 maps that look good for us but end up flipping us to sleet on Sunday morning, followed by day-long snizzle.

I'm waiting for the first "That's a big ass dry slot" comment

Come to the happy hour tomorrow, dc dweller

Seems like no matter what changes for the better at 500, there's another change somewhere that offsets it.

I’ll leave this here and see if it’ll age like wine or milk:

Coffee, which is fairly stupid of me, but I want it. Contemplating a wee glass of bourbon alongside.

It’s a special storm tracking week! 10.1% banger. Absolutely hop-pummeled that runs velvety AF. RAR is killing the hop game right now! Damn!!

I don't expect the site to go down or anything, but just in case it does, I created a subreddit (r/mid_atlantic_weather) a couple years ago for spillover in case we need a place to chat. It's not a replacement for this forum, and it doesn't even have any posts in it . It's just an emergency landing place in case we need it!

Is it Nokia flip phone safe?

I'm drying out (not completely dry) after a looooooong Holiday period, so no drinks during the week for me.

Dry January ends when the first sleet pellet hits my window.

I was doing a “moderation January”. But then winter storm Fern is fucking up my program.
