CheesyPoofs Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I haven't looked any models in the past 36 hours or so, so I'm not sure if it lost it, but fwiw I'm pretty sure a few of the NAM runs from Friday had what occurred last night (or at least something similar to it, maybe off in timing by a few hours).

Bob Chill Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Had took my daughter to the camp bus stop this morning and just stood in the rain and loved it. My daughter kept asking me if I wanted to get under the umbrella but I just told her that life is good in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 In the spirit of yesterday's discussion on positive lightning, check out this "bolt from the blue" from the Rangers game. I got to admit the reaction of the first base coach is funny. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22970091&c_id=tex&partnerId=aw-5075029332309563470-996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Got almost as much rain last night as I have in the last 6 weeks combined. Already have 3.40" in the tipping bucket today. Woke up at some point (2:30-ish) to the EBS tones on the radio due to a flash flood warning. The (usually empty) water retention area behind my neighbors house is a full blown lake this morning. Yes the EBS tones were at 2:30 they went off on my phone. I will have to see how our retention ponds look when I go out today. In the spirit of yesterday's discussion on positive lightning, check out this "bolt from the blue" from the Rangers game. I got to admit the reaction of the first base coach is funny. http://mlb.mlb.com/v...32309563470-996 That is very similar to what we saw last week during dinner. Out of no where a bolt which we swear created a blue/white ball flash off the ground hit the corn field behind our house. What I love about that video is after the initial strike the umps are standing out with other flashes going on starring at the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you guys got pounded up there this morning. I have a friend in Walkersville who said she was kept awake most of the night. We are supposed to head to Heritage Park today to get the kids out, need to check with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter kept asking me if I wanted to get under the umbrella but I just told her that life is good in the rain. Did the same thing this morning when I took the dog out. She was reluctant to leave the porch, and headed back there very quickly once finishing her business. Meanwhile, I just stood there with my head back letting the rain hit my face. Something very refreshing about summer rain, especially after the hell we've endured the last 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty intense for a long time, but especially between 2 and 4 a.m. It sounded like it was a lot, but even I was suprised to see 3.33" when I woke up at 5:30.

nw baltimore wx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are LWX's rainfall estimates accurate? Not much here so far, but with the sun starting to break out, maybe an evening thunderstorm is still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are LWX's rainfall estimates accurate? Not much here so far, but with the sun starting to break out, maybe an evening thunderstorm is still possible. they're marginally accurate, sometimes. good for general idea of where heaviest was etc. if possible get a few ground reports to compare to radar and you might be able to come up with a better educated guess.

TradeWinds Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are LWX's rainfall estimates accurate? Not much here so far, but with the sun starting to break out, maybe an evening thunderstorm is still possible. Looks correct around Frederick area in terms of where the heaviest rain fell (N and E of the city). It shows me as 0.3.-0.6 but my vantage vue recorded 1.01". So totals may be off but relativity of who got more may be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter kept asking me if I wanted to get under the umbrella but I just told her that life is good in the rain. That is a nice visual scene actually. A kind of nice wrap up to a hectic event and conclusion. A scene that says, despite it all, we survived and now, life is good, even in the rain.

Meanwhile, I just stood there with my head back letting the rain hit my face. Something very refreshing about summer rain, especially after the hell we've endured the last 2 weeks. haha, my dog loved the rain (and of course had to go at 4am when I was already lacking sleep. I just wanted to go to bed, could care less about the rain. I did watch most of the lightning, from the back of my eyelids (tried and failed to watch the show).Of course...with the temp. drop, how many put their coats on ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Are LWX's rainfall estimates accurate? Not much here so far, but with the sun starting to break out, maybe an evening thunderstorm is still possible. Looks pretty accurate out my way. Also shows heavier rains to my north which certainly correlates with my observations of t-storms sliding to my north yesterday afternoon and evening before last night's hits.
