Ellinwood Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Got the Talbot County, MD EMA reporting a tornado on the ground and that storm isnt warned. Been watching that cell... was kind of wondering about it, myself. Still looks relatively good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Disaster Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Been watching that cell... was kind of wondering about it, myself. Still looks relatively good. The report came over National Warning Circuit and it was for a water spout that continued inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The report came over National Warning Circuit and it was for a water spout that continued inland. There is a severe wx thread... not sure how many people who following the current cells are in this thread. Just a helpful FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Things were already rough this morning from Romney to Keyser up to Ft. Ashby WV, with numerous roads washed out due to flooding creeks. The bands have setup again all day, right over those same areas. Looks like Moorefield has had an easier time today, after their flooding last night.

smokeybandit Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 What strange weather...it's either ugly nasty pouring rain...or perfectly sunny and pleasant. There's no in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 One reason we have not seen much rain from this system despite 90 percent probabilities of precip - Is that we simply are NOT under a persistently training band. Some places are - and are being waterboarded day and night. I have waited all week to mow my lawn which is a primordial jungle. Well - I believed the National Weather Service forecasts - which call for 90 percent chance of thunderstorms/showers. I'll play it safe and wait til Saturday to mow my lawn. Not to worry.............. It'll only be 14 inches tall. Meanwhile, mix of sun and clouds continues. Should I believe my eyes --- or the NWS? We all know I hallucinate - So the NWS is correct. I wait til Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 What exactly is the cause of these slow moving 500 low storms? I see there is another one out west which isn't moving anywhere fast either. Just seems like an odd weather pattern we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like an odd weather pattern we are in. Probably in a blocking -NAO pattern, as soon as it breaks down, look out for near record heat and humidity. We will probably be in the mid/upper 90s with 77 degree dewpoints by late next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Wife and I just got woken up to HUGE thunder and lightning, sounded like it was directly overheard for a good 5-10 minutes with some of the hardest rain I've seen. Finally quieted down, surprised the kids didn't wake up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garden my wife and I worked so hard on getting prepared is also under water. We have had heavy rains every day during this stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I don't need a degree in advanced meteorology to know that our chance of rain today in Dale City should be rated at about 40 percent - Mix of clouds and sun with a passing shower. Tonight - 20 percent chance of widely scattered showers. Farther north in PA look out for torrential downpours. Northern VA is too damn far south for RAIN. We're used to this - Inside three weeks we will all be as dry as a bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUweathermanDD Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Man it's getting pretty dark outside. You ever thought maybe because its nighttime in southern PA? We don't need BethesdaWx redux here.

What lens are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
