Ian Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Nice rain on the backside. Plenty of lightning and thunder along with it. Much more than with the initial line. Post squall lightning is usually pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Recorded this video earlier as that MCS that was falling apart made its way towards SW Va. This was just before the outflow hit. (Notice the clouds moving at a good clip at the top of the video frame) It was much stronger than I expected and caused people to make a dash for their cars. I enjoyed it, though.

yoda Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Wait... if a storm has mesoscale circulation/rotation it does not mean a tornado? GENIUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 wow splitsville here. Heavy rain for about 15 seconds. Now its quiet with some rumbles of thunder in the distance. That rotating piece going towards baltimore seemed to suck the middle of the line up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduardo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Post squall lightning is usually pretty good Agreed Ian. Pretty good storm overall.

wxmeddler Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Agreed Ian. Pretty good storm overall. Anybody know why storms like this have lighning on the backside that is not accompanied by thunder? Backside anvil lightning too far away and/or thunder just bounces off of the topside of the inversion created by the cold pool? That's my best guess.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Impressive downpour in Carroll earlier and a rather interesting light show to boot. Wouldn't mind a repeat tomorrow afternoon to really put a dent in the dry conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Agreed Ian. Pretty good storm overall. Anybody know why storms like this have lighning on the backside that is not accompanied by thunder? not sure.. wxmeddler's guess is as good as any. primary types in stratiform rain behind an mcs type squall are anvil crawlers and positive strikes. the anvil crawlers tend to have a more diffuse sound overall. the positive strikes are usually fairly close behind the squall i think tho also scattered behind.. becomes more anvil stuff after.
