    There was some pretty cool motion with the scud as the southern part of the cell that's now in Fairfax County moved through Loudoun

    Got up to 88° earlier, then some brief heavy rain knocked things down to 82°. Already back up to 84°, but the humidity has jumped from 64% to 79%. Steamy out there.
  3. Hank Scorpio
    Sounds about right. There's scattered tree damage throughout the neighborhood, and a few people lost some siding. Nothing too crazy, but certainly the most wind we've had from a storm this year.

    That was a fun little storm that rolled through Leesburg earlier. Didn't last long, but got a little rowdy and dropped 0.25" of rain.
  5. Hank Scorpio
    Pretty tame wind, but we did have about a minute of nickle sized hail here in Leesburg. The storm also looked pretty cool on approach.

    That outbreak produced the one and only tornado I've ever seen. I was working at Dulles that day and very wisely ignored the "take shelter" commands issued via loud speaker. Instead I ran up onto the enclosed pedestrian bridge between terminal A and B just in time to watch the tornado drop near the main terminal.

    Maxed out at 100.2° which is good for the all time high on my station. I've only had it installed for two years, so not all that surprising. Officially hot though!
  8. Hank Scorpio
    93° with a heat index of 110° according to my tempest. Today feels like the day I finally crack 100°...hit 99.9° a bunch yesterday but never got over the hump. Also just saw that Leesburg canceled the 4th of July parade tomorrow because of the heat. We go every year, so it's a real bummer, but I get it.

    0.21" over the weekend for me, although that may be a little low since the Tempest struggles a bit when it comes to measuring drizzle, and it was a full on drizzle fest for a while this morning.

    That lead cell in Loudoun missed me by just a few short miles. Interestingly even with no rain, just the outflow was able to drop the temp from 94° to 85°. My kid is supposed to have a flag football game at 6 this evening. Guessing that isn't gonna happen.

    Caught a glimpse of some kelvin-helmholtz clouds this morning. Always neat to see, since they seem to dissappear so quickly.

    Loudoun didn't send kids home early, but then my kids school ended up within one of the tornado warnings. No tornado of course, but kids were sitting in the hallway in the 'duck and cover' pose for 30 minutes. Ultimately not a huge deal, and since I was watching radar and know what to look for, I wasn't stressing about it at all. I also know most people not only don't watch the radar, but wouldn't know what to look for even if they did. Probably a pretty anxious time for a lot of parents today.

    I was so close to having a great view of that couplet just before it crossed the Potomac. I was a few miles south, in sterling, but was waiting on an oil change to be done so didn't have access to my car. This was as good as my view got

    Just dropped to 33.9° where I am in Leesburg and snow is starting to stick in the grass. Fun event!

    Starting to stick to paved surfaces in my neighborhood here in Leesburg. And based on my very scientific "take a look at my neighbors patio furniture" measurement method, looks like we're over 2".
