Ian Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Decent cell near Damascus. It looks like it has a rotating updraft.. there was a brief ping on srv. The surface conditions are not there for anything of note but I suppose the 500mb vort might be helping things try to turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Getting some decent rain now here in Damascus. A good bit of lightning. I figured I missed all of the action, so this is a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Was near Rosecroft/Brinkley Rd when something started blowing up late this afternoon. Winds were strong moving left to right, scattering some stuff then 5 minutes later moving strongly the opposite way. Bout a half inch of rain, really dark to east and south of east.

TradeWinds Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Was golfing in York yesterday (where I got caught in that storm up there...torrential downpour and ctg lightning). Driving back, I got this photo of the DC/Alexandria storm from Frederick around 8 PM. iPhone didn't do justice for how cool it looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 It was burning hot during the Spurs-Liverpool match at M&T Bank Stadium yesterday. Very few clouds except for during halftime. It felt like the surface of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I haven't looked in depth but a glance doesn't necessarily show much high end potential... tho with a trough around much of the week it seems we'd have some shots here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Front Royal Canoe. this section: http://www.frontroya...t_Royal_Map.pdf You went from the canoe company location to the Criser boat landing, or from the low water bridge? From the bridge to the boat landing on Criser is pretty long trip by tube. I've canoed that route many times, and it could take 4 hours or more with leisurely rowing pace, especially when the river is low. Amazingly, despite living there most of my life, and living close by my entire life, I've never tubed. Seeing the many turtles warming themselves on the rocks muted my desire to even attempt it. That and the rocks in the shallow areas. Aside from that, seems like it would be a nice way to spend a summer afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they let us in around 37 and it goes back to the FRC location.. it's about 3 miles. Didn't have any watch on me but we left around noon and got back around 5:30 so we were probably on the water about 5 hours. We did stop ourselves a few times.. no real reason to get back early if we have to wait for the rest of the bus group. I've been there twice now, went last yr as well. Used to go tubing in CT every now and then when I lived there. It's pretty fun.. do have to watch for rocks in spots. Not too much of the section is very deep... mostly right near the end where it's maybe 6-8 feet deep. Pretty much everyone just gets hammered and floats along.

Ian Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Got another 90 for DCA. If not for Tue we could pull a nice stretch. Assuming 88/89 MOS for tomorrow is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be close with the winds coming out of the southeast... at least the 95s are gone for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
