usedtobe Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This. Not a thing in Cockeysville either - heard thunder during the evening but the storms all missed me. I didn't eve hear thunder. I went fishing on the Potomac and never felt threatened by rain or lightning and left at about 3PM. NO rain on the trip from Smallwood park which is near La Plata to the very northern end of Calvert County. It was the second day of having huge Pops and not getting a drop. Upper lows west of the mountains can be great for those west of the city but for us easterners, we usually get screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper lows west of the mountains can be great for those west of the city but for us easterners, we usually get screwed. Watching radar last couple of days made me wonder is the relatively cool waters and east flow on the chesapeake kept a lid on convection in AA, Calvert, St Mary's, etc. The eastern shore had a good cluster of cells that basically hit a wall as they moved east towards the bay. It looked like most of the cells popping yesterday pretty much originated along and west of 95. I'm sure the location of the ul low had plenty of influence but it still appeared to me that the marine influence of the bay played a role as well.

Mrs.J Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Agreed. Typical Frederick split though. Looks like we'll get a couple light showers but main stuff to our east went North and the MoCo stuff went South. The third option is they dissipate before arriving. We get thumbs up for consistency! Starting to get very humid out today. I am doing Kindergarten Tye Die day and it is a bit toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Feels like you can book the shutout for Balt City/County. AA Co. as well. During the past two days the only bit of precip I've managed was a short 10 minute shower around lunch time yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If we (Prince William Cty) miss out, that will be fine with everyone here. I've had about 5" since Sunday evening and others just a few miles to my west and north have had around 8". Spread the wealth, I say. Looks like steering flow will likely keep storms moving just a bit more today/tonight and not be as stationary as the last 3 nights of repeated performances.

Avdave Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Cloudy and a bit cooler in western Fairfax. Winds are picking up, too. skies dark to my east towards your neck of the woods. That line moving NNE in southern Prince William county holds together we can get more rain later on this evening. i will take one more dose than let it dry out. Grass is out of control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Getting some nice breezes from the cell sliding up from my south. 20+ mph and 76 degrees. Wish I could bottle some of this with the sauna weather moving in this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 wow I thought we would get fringed but got hammered with a brief period of heavy rains last night around 830-10pm timeframe. Hopefully this will be the last of it for a few days and let the sponge ground dry out some. Off to work. Clouds and 66* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Missed out again yesterday afternoon/evening in Balt City. Confirm some drizzle in Balt this morning. Pretty impressive three day whiff for my part of the area over the last 72 hours given the rain/storm reports from other parts of the area.

EastCoast NPZ Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well, in what could be our last chance at meaningful precip before the 4-month humid-desert season officially begins today, Stephens City whiffed again and again. Received a grand total of .40" of precip this week. Amazingly, while rainforest type conditions exist only minutes away, my grass is actually already tinged brown in the usual less-hearty areas. We've been very dry in southern Frederick Co this year. Last April and May we got around 12" of rain before the summer drought began. I haven't been recording this year, but I'm sure we haven't gotten even 4" this year. On the bright-side I won't be mowing much. By contrast, it has rained everyday the last 4 days in Front Royal, just 10 miles away. I was over there on Wed evening and watched it T-storm for 3 straight hours. They haven't received Prince William County-type rain, but they've had a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the location of the ul low had plenty of influence but it still appeared to me that the marine influence of the bay played a role as well. It probably did have some influence. I thought for my neck of the woods, the POPS were too high each day based on the pattern and time of year so I golfed and fished with impunity. That said, next time I'll probably get caught out in a storm. It is pretty dry around my house and heading into the coming heat, my garden is going to need water.
