@WxFront Very cool! And I see using SHARPpy so shout out to Greg Blumberg 😃 @em_wx_research

@JASanta It’s the initialization hour of the most recent HRRR run. So the idea is that the first hour would assimilate all the latest observational data (including soundings if available) and give a semi-accurate snapshot of the current atmospheric conditions at each hour.

🎈 Sample the Atmosphere Anytime, Anywhere ⛈️ The Mesoanalysis Sounding Tool lets you: 🔍 Sample near-storm environments alongside radar, satellite, observations, and outlooks ⏱️ Look back in time to track how the atmosphere has evolved through the day 🎬 Export sounding loops to watch the cap break or the low-level jet ramp up Activate it from the Tools Menu in the top right corner of the screen!

@WxFront I can’t find that menu - top right only a search icon?

@capitalweather Can you interpret the new Intensity hatching that the western half of the DC area is in today (Cat 1)?

⚠️ Slight risk of severe storms late today — but coverage uncertain The D.C. region is under a Level 2 of 5 severe storm risk today as a powerful system moves east after producing tornadoes and large hail in the Midwest. If storms form, damaging winds, hail and perhaps a tornado would be possible due to strong wind shear. That said, storm chances are iffy Morning clouds and showers may limit instability, and the main front may still be west of the area during peak afternoon heating. Many short-term models show spotty, if any, development near the Beltway. ⏰ Time to watch: roughly 3–8 p.m. 📍 Storms may be more likely north and west of D.C. Rain chances increase late tonight into Thursday morning, but severe weather is unlikely then. We’ll update if storms begin to develop.

@Friesein I DM you yesterday Stafford VA Publix done and done but they ran out already likely

Where have you found Novavax JN.1 so far in 2025-2026?

@MatthewCappucci Check out the bear chase cam facing east from Bluemont ridge. fox5dc.com/skycam-bluemon…

DMV gang — anyone else noticing all the “stuff” on radar? It’s clear outside, but the radar is detecting small objects in the atmosphere. Radar suggests insects (not quite spikey enough to be birds; plus the birds migrate at night). The most likely culprit? The spotted lantern fly! They are probably being caught up in air currents and thermals now that it’s especially warm today, AND the “clutter” on radar is most prevalent below 3,000 feet — which is mostly where the spotted lantern flies fly. Yucky.

@LauraMiers @iseeuliars And when Rochelle said put masks in your drawer on May 12 2021 we already had data from Europe that delta was evading the vax. They knew, yet proceeded w the great unmasking in order to say ‘we beat covid’.

@iseeuliars This is the PRECISE MOMENT the U.S. kicked off the Great Unmasking.

Hey. Anyone know when we had enough data to say definitively that vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission? I’m thinking 2021. I know it was early but maybe it was 2022?

@MatthewCappucci We were on 395 facing it at the time and it looked to be just behind it (west) but close!

Did lightning just strike the monument? Can anyone confirm?

@1goodtern …

It's tragic. No one could have predicted that horrific and completely unexpected flash floods like the ones that hit the Guadalupe River in 1913, 1921, 1978, 1998, and 2002 would hit the Guadalupe River again.

@1goodtern Possibly your best work ever. And that says a lot.

Ten things people mean when they say "no one could have predicted this".

@DonEford Congrats Don and all! Surprisingly this is top news and it isn’t positive though. nytimes.com/2025/05/17/hea…

We did it!!! BLA is approved for Novavax. Well done everyone. The fight continues. fda.gov/vaccines-blood…

@FeralHeather Try Publix as well

Called every Costco in a 50 mile radius and no Novavax available. None at Kaiser either. Waiting to hear back from CVS but it’s not looking good So much for “we have the tools”

@JacsonBevens 🫡 “The lows define the highs and I’m grateful that the latter has outweighed the former”. As usual you have five quotes that perfectly sum up our experience and journey over these years. Thank you for making both the highs and lows even higher and lower.

@atranscendedman What about evusheld 2.0 for immunocompromised? It stalled last i heard and is very outdated already.

AstraZeneca Evusheld 2.0(sipavibart) to be tested in Long COVID. FDA approval in next 30 days -> IRB. Study to start in January 2025.

@bowl_of_worcel That’s what’s good in the world! ❤️

@RockyMountViews ‘My Brother the Cloud’ - Eddie Vedder/Earthlings. Great song and lyrics if you haven’t heard it.

@1goodtern Any thoughts on why tests seem to be much better lately with fewer false negatives and much more sensitivity. Even expired tests.

I know it can really feel like they're trying to infect you, but that's only because they are.

@LazarusLong13 @billmaher Poor guy still can’t get over ‘LOCKDOWN’ please cut him a break..
