SoxFanNH Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If this was snow, some of us would be going ballistic Some 2" p/hr rates showing up on LWX 1hr total rainfall map Dulles had almost 15 minutes straight of 3.5"/hour rain rates, another 0.53" already this hour. Rain is really starting to fire up again down by Warrenton and seems to want to head up toward IAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rainy where I'm at but not torrent or anything. Had a few good strikes nearby though. One of them was real close. Electric little storm.

It's all on that boundary, and that cell is now at 30kft. I'm searching through wunderground PWS's trying to find the boundary trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
