WhiteoutMD Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Pics or it didn't happen On the bright side there are like 20 hot girls in miniskirts hiding here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I finally bailed. Last batch didn't have much lighting. Plus part of my lens fell off--hope it was the filter. Can't afford any more camera disasters! Probably because you were playing with it to much after seeing the 20 girls in mini skirts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 This might be the shot of the night. The lightning cooperated more with the second batch but not entirely--like the cloud in the stroke on this one. Plus though I always say shooting lightning is simple--because it is--doing so with the monuments is not quite as simple. I *think* overall I should have exposed a smidge less... guess I gotta lean someday (somehow these are the first "Kevin Ambrose" type shots I've done here).

WEATHER53 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Great photos. I think we are going to be steadily under the gun next few days, 2"+, stormy, muggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 00z NAM changes its mind... BWI/DCA/IAD all about 2" give or take a few tenths... I-81 corridor takes brunt -- down towards Luray area -- 3"+ GFS says rain? You will be lucky to get an inch at the major 3 airports... close to 1.5" in I-81 corridor... so again about half of 00z NAM QPF output at 84 hrs... Though by 96 or so... GFS does give 3 major airports close to 1.5" and I-81 area 2" or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv_poor Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 0.03" at my house Hopefully we can even it up over the next few days. Different part of Falls Church. Last night from about 8:30 to 9 PM great light show by Route 7 and WFC metro and then very heavy rain in a T storm. Then driving home, where 66 hits Route 7 only light rain and no rain on 7 in Tysons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Got 00.00 yesterday. Saw lightning though. Looking for another shutout today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Got 00.00 yesterday. Saw lightning though. Looking for another shutout today. It's ironic that DCA's total of 1.64 inches of precipitation yesterday was the most since December 7, 2011 (when it was inundated with 3.10 inches), and yet much of the metropolitan area was shutout or close to it. IAD received all of a trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 12z GFS and 12z NAM close to agreement of 1.5 inches of QPF... big diff is NW MD where NAM closer to 3 inches and GFS near .75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 0.00 yesterday, with sunny skies through milky clouds. Hot and miserable: 91F and as humid as I can recall feeling. Today: mostly cloudy with on/off sprinkles that have yet to get the ground completely wet. I-81 jackpot for sure. edited to add that we've been in the middle of a big (and apparently the sole) blob of moisture on radar, and the occasional sprinkles are all we've got to show for it. Is anyone out there receiving more than light sprinkles from this? 'Cause this is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Had a nice little downpour over here East of Harrisonburg a little bit ago. Tapered off to sprinkles now, looks like it should start to pick back up a little bit based on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Heavy convection south of the DC area seems to be dominant. Not sure how much we'll get up here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 One of the worst days this summer today for being muggy. Currently 90/76 at my station. That spiraling band left over from Isaac to my west is making ever so slow progress eastward. late afternoon looks like another pop up event.

aldie 22 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm not yet in the fail camp because I always assumed most of the good stuff would be Sunday evening and beyond and then any second batch later on....but...I did express yesterday that the big totals seemed a tad aggressive and that I was starting to get that yucky feeling...it's ok though...I will complain on Wednesday if I'm still sitting at 0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Younger Cu field across central West Virginia ... will be interesting to see if we can pull anything out that before sunset. On another note, I have to wonder if maybe there will be an isolated tornado risk across southern and maybe central VA tomorrow ... based on the directional shear forecasted and the history of this system. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? probably a non zero risk but lesser than recent days as the sys continues to wash out. looks like the best area is over the apps which is a little sketchy for much. sw va maybe.
