CranberryWX Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Lot of cloud to ground lightning with these storms this morning...pretty intense light show in pre-dawn darkness. House shaking thunder with intense cracks from close hits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Holly Crap! Intense hail storm with pea to marble sized hail covering the ground. The sound inside the house was loud with hail bouncing off the roof and windows. It lasted about 10 minutes. I hate to see what my truck looks like as I had it parked outside. Pic grab from my weather cam..it's blurry from the rain driving againt the lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I know it's not for this area, but it's starting to look like we could see some pretty nasty severe wx outbreaks in the central US in the very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm still looking for snow Me too. Still focusing on the 3/25 to 4/10 period. You guys are hopeless. I don't mind it cooling down back to normal levels, but the cold can stay far away. I'm in spring and severe weather mode at this point. Plus, we're less likely to snow in that period, and more likely to see cold, raw rain. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We should annihilate the daily record max of 81 today. Pretty good chance at a record today at the airports: DCA (81), IAD & BWI (82). edit - zwyts beat me to this. GFS MOS MAV is 85 for DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're good for a grassy inch, but I am kind of biased and crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there is a microclimate effect due to the topography that favors an afternoon westerly downslope. The overall synoptic conditions seem to have to be quite strong to overcome this. I haven't had a wind gust over 4mph in the last three hours, so I don't think it will be a problem. 75.3° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
