The going rate is one bottle cap per inch of bust.

The MD Mesonet stations has sunshine detectors (pyranometers). We're recording the data and eventually we'll have statistics on it but it fairly low on the priority list. We should be able to do % of sunshine and energy but % of normal will be harder to determine since there isn't a good history.

It's a race to see how far east the pingers get before the dry slot arrives. -
Completely agree, you'd never know from LWX.

BWI G44kt (50mph)

Our thermometer is painfully slow as well. My student is currently running an inter-comparison of fast thermometers so we're getting fantastic data at 3 second intervals. I'll post it here once it's done.

IAD just gusted to 57 kts... Edit: Ahhhh, of course the Eskimo Joe beat me.

Wind gusts to 40 mph even without the convection. Temps falling 10 deg in 5 minutes with the front.
-
The cold front emerging out from the rain along the Blue Ridge right now with no convection associated with it would absolutely be a way to cap off this day.

Yeah, these 50+ dbz returns are definitely putting out 3-5"/hr rain rates.
-
Shear too strong given lack (or near none) low level instability. Lapse rates aren't helping but we knew that going in. Edit: Also, almost no lightning with these. Can't get any serious updrafts to -20C. Kinda pathetic.
-
Only storms I'm worried about the next few hours are the ones throwing out lightning. Most of this stuff is not exhibiting strong vertical organization.
