LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN TENNESSEE AND AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL OVERRUN THE BOUNDARY CAUSING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN WILL LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK...AS THE LOW LINGERS IN THE OHIO VALLEY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... -- Changed Discussion --HAVE CANCELLED THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS AND GFS MODEL THE HEAVIEST AXIS OF RAIN LOOKS TO SET UP EAST OF THIS AREA...AFFECTING AREAS ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH THIS EVENING WHERE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES. LOCALLY 5 INCHES OR MORE OF RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR GIVEN THE EFFICIENT/HEAVY RAINFALL FROM STORMS AND THE TRAINING WHICH IS EXPECTED. FLASH FLOODING IS NOT THE ONLY RISK. AS THE FRONT NEAR THE BAY TILTS WEST...THERE SHOULD BE SOME INSTABILITY THAT DEVELOPS NEAR THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR. WIND FIELDS WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR BOTH DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR. THUS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN LINE SEGMENTS AND ALSO ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE A RISK THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. WHILE THE SEVERE/TORNADO RISK SHOULD WANE IN THE EARLY EVENING...HEAVY RAINFALL MAY LAST WELL INTO THE EVENING.-- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You do realize that heat lightning is just regular lightning... no reason to call it anything other than lightning. Some enthusiasts (like myself) find "heat lightning" to be an irritating misnomer. I prefer to call it distant lightning myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Looks like I'm in the bullseye for once. Heavy rain here for the past 15 minutes. Drops are so big it looks like snow. Insane rainfall rates. Going to go down Rt. 29 into Silver Spring at lunch time. Looks like more to come from the south. No more drought complaints from me!
