The only time I went to Philadelphia was being in their airport, and I remember it being god-awful. That was ten years ago, of course, so maybe things have changed.

South Carolina. Isn't it obvious?

Jeff Foxworthy or Bill Engvall?

The fact that Zuckerburg and Facebook are getting sued left and right is not helping matters.

SPC has my area under a slight risk for severe weather tomorrow. It could get interesting.
Same here
I second that.

10% chance of tornadoes in Maryland/Virginia, including Washington DC. That...I wasn't expecting. Stay safe out there.

At GFK: 62 and Mostly Cloudy

60 Mostly Sunny. Absolutely no wind, which is rather strange for this part of the country.

Summer apparently doesn't exist up here or just doesn't care to visit.

44 and Mostly Cloudy at the moment. Low of 33 tonight with a decent chance for some frost.

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day for Oklahoma and surrounding areas, the entire Southeast looks to get in on the fun Thursday and Friday, and then another system moves across the northern tier of the country Sat/Sun. Gonna be a busy week.

As far as I'm concerned it is really rare, but it appears the Northeast will be under a moderate risk within the next 10-20 minutes. Has anyone else seen a moderate risk in that area before?

*BUMP*

Just got GEMPAK, so I'm playing around with forecast graphics. Let's try a hail probability for today's severe threat, shall we? Probably not correct, but hey. It looks good.

If I read this correctly, the Hurricane Hunters have found a wind of 73 KTS, or about 84 MPH in the Northwest portion of the hurricane. We may have a hurricane in the next advisory.

That is a maximum wind speed, so I'm guessing that's a gust. If I had to guess, I'd say the next advisory will stick with 65-70 mph.

Who hasn't been to Florida?!

I've only been to FL once back in July 2006, I went to Orlando (Disneyworld) but, we stayed in Daytona Beach.

Down the Space Coast, Miami, and the Keys for me. Also have family down there I regularly visit. You know, looking back at my map now, I have no clue why I visited Montana.

Hurricane Central / Re: Subtropical Storm Beryl

« on: May 27, 2012, 02:14:13 PM »

Beryl's center is now over a cold water shelf, and there is still a good bit of shear working against it. I'm surprised it's gotten winds above 45 knots at this point. Although current trends do suggest a strengthening to a hurricane, the odds are probably very low - I'll be daring and go lower than Trevor with 5-10% chance. The fact that NHC has no hurricane watches up at this point reinforces this.

Regardless, Florida and Georgia should continue to expect gusty winds and upwards of 6 inches of rain throughout the next 24-48 hours. Yeah. Happy Memorial Day to you guys down there!
