That cell going into Adams County may give Northern Carroll a good soaking if it holds together. When that core collapses someone could see a wet microburst.

Ian Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Question for you severe guys. My knowledge is pretty weak but I'm slowly catching on. I was wondering about organized convection in our area and where it initiates. Do we ever get medium to large sized convective systems that originate east of the apps or do all the bigger ones start in the oh valley / midwest first? Also, unless my memory is getting crappy (and it might be), why does is seem that we get fewer squall lines than we used to? My memory of the 80's seems to remember that it was common to get large lines of storms (stretching from s pa all the way to central va?). Not front related stuff either. Just hot afternoon events. Now it seems like random popcorn seems more common. It might have always been this way. I'm not sure. I'm not sure how to quantify it but I think the majority of our storms come from the pre-frontal/leeside trough. Though as far as our big MCS+, they probably more often come from west/northwest of the Apps as stuff on the trough doesn't often have enough time to form up in a huge way for most of us. Every now and then we'll get a good line out of the SW too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then we'll get a good line out of the SW too. For the most part, I would quantify a med-large event as one where over 80% of the area is affected. Not just hit and miss blobs. I know there are a zillion variables though so it's really tough to answer my question without having really go into detail. I grew up boating on the Chesapeake almost every weekend from May-Nov. We got caught in alot of tough weather. Many of the lines that came through affected the entire bay. Narrow but long lines of storms. Plenty of wind with them. For the most part, they looked the same while approaching. Really dark line in front with orange or green sky behind. I just don't see that very often anymore. I could be totally off base but it seems like it was more common than it is now. Just like overrunning snow...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only slow moving but also solid, large area of heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as if ours are always a line of storms that is gone in twenty minutes or scattered that are hit or miss. I'd love to see us in such a widespread area of heavy rain. Seems those areas where in heavy rain for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
