Mrs.J Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 77/66 in Frederick with sun bouncing in and out. Hit 80F today for 2nd straight day...can see the storms building to my west although history says they'll dissipate when running into the Catoctins. That is what I am thinking also. But one can hope right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Its like you all are on the surface of the sun compared to BWI and points north. Holding at 64 here. Looks like the front is on top of your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Watching the storm to the NE of the warned storm. If it keeps its track and does not dissipate, TradeWinds and myself are in for a good soaking. ETA well that fell apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Watching the storm to the NE of the warned storm. If it keeps its track and does not dissipate, TradeWinds and myself are in for a good soaking. Well, there is the famous dissipate. The sprinkles look to be done and I didn't even hit 0.01" on the rain gauge. Crazy what that ridge does.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We broke out here in Wesminster around 3:00pm, but once the sun set our winds went from 220 -> 150. Now it's getting foggy and cloudy. I.hate.marine.layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.hate.marine.layers. Oh boo hoo, We had a constant stratus cloud deck below 5 kft all day, not one peak of sun and an afternoon high of 58 with a 57°DP. The lowest RH of the day was 94%.

Ellinwood Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I would like to see a storm either today or tomorrow... even some distant thunder or lightning would be nice... Latest hi-res pop some storms up over the Blue Ridge this afternoon but they struggle to make it into MoCo/DC. I'd hedge my bets for today and go with the better chances tomorrow. SPC has us in a Slight Risk for tomorrow... I could believe that (for now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well shear is weak, so they would be slow movers, right? Also, mid-level lapse rates look pretty good around 6.5-7.0 C/KM... so I think a rogue storm could be pulse severe with maybe some hail. Tomorrow looks like more of same though... perhaps some damaging wind gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
