Ian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here are a few quick shots of that cell over Loudoun/NW Fairfax taken between 8:20 and 8:30. This was from about where 28 meets the Toll Rd, looking NW. Also, wide angle lens makes everything look 10x cooler is that a fisheye? it looks like a mesocyclone.

I probably could have gotten a better view of that cell if I drove home from work at HGR late Still thundering here BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 the storm is in a crappy spot for radar.. on the hi res you can see the first blow up seemingly swirl out. everything's trying to spin.. it's just struggling to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 is that a fisheye? it looks like a mesocyclone. Not quite a fisheye, but basically. It essentially multiplies your focal length by .45x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Not quite a fisheye, but basically. It essentially multiplies your focal length by .45x Sweet pics Hank In the burg, nothing more than a few rumbles of thunder from both cells. .03 of rain fell and no lightining that I saw. Meh. soupy as all hell outside now though and no mammatus that i saw Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Anyone notice line of storms popping ahead of line in NW VA? Ya I been talking about that for a while.

Ian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 i figured those would die but that area which developed out in front is nice looking for now. lwx has 20% pop in the new update. sounds like it's the upper level warm front. the cap is increasing tho so we'll see how it progresses.

BethesdaWX Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Been raining lightly for over an hour now, but the heavy stuff didn't make it here as usual. Some Ok CTC lightning, but the clouds at sunset were the highlight of the evening, picture worthy for sure. Some small mammatus followed by a shelf cloud off to the NW.

Ian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 i like a fairly solid line tomorrow on the lee trough progressing to the coast through evening. spc should re-slight us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 i like a fairly solid line tomorrow on the lee trough progressing to the coast through evening. spc should re-slight us. Agree and agree. Take the stuff today and move it 350 miles to 400 miles east of where it started today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 looks like most of the stuff to our south fizzled except in elevation. the cell west of culpeper is fairly impressive.. if it keeps pulsing up it could go svr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Lots of lightning in the southern sky. Looks like at least some more rain in here later, as those storms are still firing at this late hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
