2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion

[Kmlwx]

I'm doing it....the 2026 iteration starts today. With potential warm weather on the horizon, we will likely see the start of the pencil thing gusty shower line season. 

@yoda - I feel like you're usually on board with early tracking with me. 

Excited to get back to our smaller spring/summer crew...The winter weenies can take their bickering away soon enough. As much as I hate summer heat - I tolerate it for thunderstorms. 

And now....I will go back to watching CFS/weeklies/CSU-MLP/CIPS pages for signs of our first threats!

Remember... the new type of convective outlooks come out starting next week with the 1630z Day 1 March 3rd outlook.

I wasn't aware of this! I've been not monitoring as closely due to work. Thank you!!! Imagine a 90% wind

I can't decipher these new outlooks. My astigmatism makes these hatched maps almost unreadable.

The 2nd half of the coming week has some minor potential. GFS has some modest supercell composite parameters - and even the Euro has some instability around. Interesting enough for early March, at least. Nothing substantial, of course. 

CSU-MLP has some minor probs painted over some of our area Friday.

It's definitely a little wacky looking - I'm not sure other than doing completely separate color-coded maps how they could have implemented this differently. I like the idea/principle, though!
