Hank Scorpio Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I was a bit late getting set up (left the tripod head in my apartment...d'oh), but I did grab a few so-so photos of lightning from tonight's storms, since they missed just to my south. Having some tripod issues, and after this the storm really died down quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 A Complex is diving SE out of Ohio with several warnings. Maybe it will stay together in this juicy atmosphere tonight. Back here in the Pittsburgh area this week and just got hit with a warned cell. Once we got the purple returns, half inch hail started falling. Good winds and absolutely torrential rains. So nice not to see storms fizzle as they approach you. Frederick weather is just awful and boring! But I'll take my .07" of rain today I guess. Lol. Does seem like the energy off their line is transferring east some so maybe western areas of LWX might get in on some action later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 During 1980, 1991, and 1997, DC reached 95 on seven straight days, but in no prior year has it reached 95 on eight straight days. So, tomorrow should set a new record for consecutive 95+ days. However, setting 95 as the threshold for extreme heat is somewhat arbitrary. Highs during the last seven days (June 28-July 4) have averaged 98.3, whereas in 1930 there was a streak of 10 days (July 18-27) that reached at least 93, with an average high of 99.5 (six of those days reached at least 100). I had 3 yrs with 8 in chart in 95+ thread. I have spreadsheet on another computer but I see eight in 2002 (8/12-8/19)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't understand these great radar echoes. These storms lately are all wind and very little rain. Noted the same thing. We've had 3 warned storms and one more t-storm since Friday and I've received a grand total of .37" rain. Each of these storms has been all wind and lightning, and I would say are the 3 most intense lightning storms in my memory. Last night took the top spot; I've never even come close to seeing that much cloud-to-ground strikes. I wish I'd videoed. A house a block down the street from mine apparently was hit as multiple fire-trucks were on scene for more than an hour. There was an almost constant wail of sirens as trucks were running up and down Rt 11 responding to - what I assume were - other lightining-caused structure fires. Wild night.

Stormpc Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 SPC has us back into Slight Risk, mainly for wind today. Probably looking at what will happen downstream with the OH storm complex. 100 today looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 DCA should reach 100 today... one would think with it being 92 already. Sat we could be pressing 105, with HXs 110 to 113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we buck the trend of storms containing mostly wind. Region desperately needs some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
