TradeWinds Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hmmm wonder if these would reach us by early morning? probably be weakened though, but any rain is good rain Like the last line and all the ones before it, they'll hold together until they get 8 miles from Frederick and then dissipate to sprinkles.

Kmlwx Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Foot's Forecast Re: Tonight's possible late storms - TIMING/IMPACTS:* The cluster of showers and storms in PA is moving southeast at 35 mph. We anticipate the leftover activity to redevelop as it reaches the Baltimore-DC metro areas around 3 AM - moving through by 5 AM at the latest. Storms may arrive with little advance notice. * These storms are not severe at this time. However the large amount of shower activity in PA will encounter an area of MD which has seen dewpoints rising in the past few hours and a moist mid-level according to latest NWS observations. * These and other factors may allow storms to redevelop, with some becoming strong, producing locally heavy rain and occasional lightning. ... I don't understand this - they say there may be little warning and yet they are warning of the potential? Oh Foot's Forecast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this - they say there may be little warning and yet they are warning of the potential? Oh Foot's Forecast... Silly wording on that. I think our area got stability from the earlier rain and storms and its gonna be 1-2 hours before sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this - they say there may be little warning and yet they are warning of the potential? Oh Foot's Forecast... Not seeing what their on about here, that convection is associated with small shortwave with accompanying vort lobe swinging around and is heading into an area where SBCAPE is being shut down because of the nightly inversion under clear skies. AKA: A chance of showers with a possible rumble of thunder late, Low near 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
