TalcottWx Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 i dunno, it dug itself deeper into the ridge. but these things usually curve more south than southeast if you trace them out. the apps still tend to kill convection without much doubt. i think these storms fired on the lee trough as the shortwave moved in, the outflow from the derecho/mcs is still further west. I completely agree.. the downsloping was not the major culprit though today.. we still had very dp's.. and storms are still appearing somewhat healthy east of the blue ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost power 3 times in the last 10 mins. The wind is still blowing pretty good too. over half inch in the last 10 mins or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Took some video of the storm to my South. Will get it up when power is back. The thunder and lightning is crazy, but we are not getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes, but that is not the actual line we are discussing.. that is an outflow storm from the actual storm that went west.. just being specific not really outflow.. that was what they were warning to the west of the popups out front. hpc had a lee trough analyzed earlier. in the end it doesnt really matter because most will think we got hit by the chicago derecho...

Leesburg's not in a bad spot when that happens, in spite of what the poster formerly known as Leesburg04 maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nice gust front so far... Significantly higher gusts than the 35-40 mph I got here during the peak of the multi-round thunderstorms on Friday. The high-rise is creaking in that way that we do before power outages sometimes.
