RIC_WX Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey there, good to see ya on here. Yeah my crappy camera didnt get the clouds as good as I hoped but I was against time with the rain moving in. Yeah it started in the mid 90's and when the storm ended it dropped to 69* here. I should have paid attention to it as the storm got going but I was amazed at the rain and wind factors in play. Thanks -- hope you are enjoying the summer so far. It was interesting that given the wind and other dynamics of the storm (which definitely merited svr criteria) that due to the very limited presence of lightning it really didn't feel so threatening. Wind and rain can't really hurt as long as you're not standing under something that's going to fall on you. Great way to wrap up an otherwise insufferably hot evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 So now that the 'split' region has been narrowing down over the past couple of weeks, is the "DC split" down to like 2 wards in DC and half of Fairfax County? : ) I was out in Dupont on Sunday before the 4th of July--- decent rain'er then DCA split. Yeah that storm was good.. best day of the yr stormwise with the morning stuff. This one is decent, fairly standard summer storm tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey dave! SICKKK clouds rolling in now. WOW Welcome to the neighborhood Jay. Usually you and mapgirl are in an area that seems to attract T-storms in the summer time. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You getting any winds in the storm Ian? I would guess we have 45-50 mph gusts when it got here earlier this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 lolololololol I'm on the northern tip of that cell. Sounds like a storm, but no rain to go with it. I'm actually quite amazed at how many times that's happened in the last 4-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 You still can get smacked with the second round. Yeah, it does not look good here. Borderline here if the one behind can fill and get me. Plenty of thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 You still can get smacked with the second round. That's what I'm hoping for, but it's trying to slide south. Edit: Looks to be filling in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you can see the leaves in the trees on the left side blowing in the wind somewhat. Either that or my eyes are just tired.

Fozz Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's pretty sweet! Did that storm last Thursday wake you up?

Stormpc Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Now, into the 2nd line. For some reason, the lightning is much more vivid and Cloud to Ground than the first one, even though it looks less impressive on radar. Definitely much louder. Any explanation?

You're in the Montclair area, right? Around Silvan Glen or so if I remember. I'd call it 'run of the mill' for Southbridge for round 1. Oh boy, I think I spoke too soon. I think I heard a gust of wind, and the lightshow is now starting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
