did you guys see this?  legitimately insane: 

 

This is like Charlotte or Atlanta having a low of 80F in January lol.  Seems like it's indirectly tied to the developing Niño - apparently related to some insane snowfall in the Andes (because of the juiced-up Pacific) leading to downsloping winds into Argentina, which caused this.

WB 21Z NBM thru Day 2

Looks very familiar.  Just like the forecast and/or the result for every event the past 4 years

Big thunderstorm rolled thru here around 4 am with lots of CTG lightning and booming thunder. Not much wind (26 mph gust) but picked up 1.07" of rain, which beat previous daily record of 0.99" from 1984.

Clouds. Our most common failure mode. Hope we can clear out today.

WB 12Z HRRR thru today.

[Eskimo Joe]

Do we want to put the obs, etc. in this thread today, or the severe wx thread? I vote for here.

If you liked the 11z HRRR, you'll love the 12z HRRR. Legit squall line.

The Huntingtown split was in effect yet again this morning.  Feels extra gross out too.  

[Eskimo Joe]

Looking upstream, if we can get these debris clouds over West Virginia to fade out, we should be okay for at least some thunder. The cluster of storms coming through Columbus, OH right now has an uptick in CG and seems to be drifting southeast. Wonder if that's our show for later?

Sure thing. 12z HRRR:

• Around 3/4pm - Puts a couple of decent pre-frontal discrete cells from MDT south to DC, looks like one cell gets beefy east of Baltimore along maybe a bay breeze boundary?
• Around 4 - 6pm - Develops a respectable line of storms along I-81 and runs it from MDT down to RIC around sunset. 

That would be a solid slight risk day in these parts. If folks hold their expectations to that, then no one would be dissappointed.

Then the 13z HRRR comes in and is back to total garbage for everyone.

This is Frederick’s summer. The current humidity is getting me hyped.

[Eskimo Joe]

Already a confirmed tornado in northeast PA. Several warnings up towards NY. Dynamics FTW.

[IronTy]

You don't fool me, weather.  I can see the SoMD split teeing up already.  

[Interstate]

Lots of thunder to my north here in 21057

[Jrlg1181]

The customary 0.02 for today....

[mitchnick]

1.2" from the 2 thunderstorms that just passed through here. Looks like plenty more for most to come.
