wxmeddler Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The Mid-AA County cell is raining itself out at the moment. BWI got 50 kt winds and hail. Places north and west of me got ~2"+ of rain. I got a load of CC lightning and rain. A little disappointed for IMBY, but a Good day for North AA Co.. Minus the house that caught fire in Odenton.

I just got done bailing out my window well that likes to flood into the basement when we get over 2" of rain in short order.

Hank Scorpio Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 That was a nice storm that just moved through Herndon, certainly the best I've personally experienced this summer as far as T&L goes. We even had some small hail, nothing that reached severe levels, but I hadn't seen any yet this summer. According to my fiance, she saw some bigger hail, nickel sized or so, near Vienna not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Outflow and thunder from the DC/So. MoCo cell made its way up here... maybe another shot at rain? Got fringed by the first cell.

BethesdaWX Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Can someone with knowledge explain this wierd base velocity reading east of KLWX?
