Mrs.J Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What is a 'strong thunderstorm advisory'? Not sure it is a normal status but the radar app I use sends them. The first storm moved by me but the lightning and thunder is back with the next storm moving up. Will watch to see if it goes the sake oath as the other one.

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Can confirm the severe warning for that cell as it passed through here. Lot's of lightning and brief nickle-size hail. That's the first time it's hailed here this year, and that's the largest hail I've seen in many years. Crazy for mid-October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that is triggered off of the NWS Special Weather Statements (SPS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the first time it's hailed here this year, and that's the largest hail I've seen in many years. Crazy for mid-October. By NWS definition, that is not severe thunderstorm warning criteria. The hail has to be 1-inch in diameter or greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The second storm did prompt a warning. It passed me to the West and still looks nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGorse Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The storm earlier west of Frederick, MD had an impressive core. Our radar (KDIX) had 70-74 dBZ at 23,000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Frederick Co under the gun tonight. Third storm moving in from the South and this one is in my area. Pouring rain with very little lightning for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Had an extremely close lightning strike earlier. Could hear a sizzle before the explosive sound. Caused me to lose signal to the console from my Davis VP2 weather station, which has never happened before. Have spent the better part of the last hour trying to reacquire it, but no luck. A call to Davis is in order tomorrow. Hope the ISS unit isn't fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Heard a little bit of thunder. Slept through the rest The dog found the storm sufficiently upsetting that he hopped into bed with us as it came through. I hope that blob near Richmond slides east because I have a round of golf to start at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Nice storms overnight, around 930pm and then again around 1130pm and then I finally fell asleep, the dog jumped into bed as well, they were pretty good boomers and great light show. The last few storms have produced some great light shows. Not bad for Oct 18-19 and have some mod t storms in the night time hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Multiple rounds of storms last night (including a big one with nickle-sized hail). Ended up with 1.43" in my gauge. There is a large civil war reenactment at Cedar Creek Battlefield this weekend (I work right across the battlefield on Rt. 11 in Middletown) and I saw multiple Johnny Blues laying on the ground as I drove past. Gusty winds must've taken them down. Good thing that storm happened last night while no one was there. Tonight that field will be filled with tents and campers.

Disc Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Took a small trip up to Mabry Mill along the Blue Ridge Parkway for breakfast this morning. A lot of fog on the way up and very cool and crisp. Looks like the leaves are past peak here and some trees are nearly bare. I'll post a few pics later.

SeanVA Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Check out the 12z GFS at the end of the run where it shows an East Pacific tropical cyclone making landfall in northern Mexico. Its remnants then become a nor'easter that would probably deliver snow to the higher elevations of the Mid Atlantic. Interesting setup, that pretty much goes without saying, probably won't happen.
