Jebman Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Anytime you manage to get enough drizzle to get the pavement wet - that's a success. Tonight though it failed. There were about two or three droplets on leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Found a way to forget about this day. Yeah, took a few cubans to get me right again. This one was pretty bad. At least the snow weenies will be back in 5-6 weeks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Sterlings AFD's now are like a cruel joke. Supercells. psssh. Stuff in northern WV has a chance if it doesn't fall apart like everything else. Stuff is forming to the west. Maybe just maybe. Mountains killing WV stuff again. I am just giving in. Cells went from red and some purple to yellow and orange. Slowly weakening.

PhineasC Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Had some downpours and two absolutely enormous claps of thunder that shook the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 0.01" 1.01" for the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 About .25" early Sunday morning (no thunder) and maybe a tenth or so late last night. Had strong lightning within 2 miles north and south of me for about 2 hours last night. The radar wasn't very impressive, yet that was some serious lightning. On my 6 mile drive south to work I could see the common roadside puddles start in the usual places about 1 mile south of my house. I live in a very bad location if you like precipitation. At least the rains fell at night so that what did fall got to stay in the ground longer. My grass isn't looking too shabby lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Got 0.0" all weekend long. I'd have to record a trace (if I recorded such events) because a few drops fell as the storms missed to the north. It's pretty easy to see where my house is in N.Central MoCo in the MPE map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yep das, I am right down the road from you -- can't believe we pulled a 0.00 out of this! I watered my parched garden beds this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 HRRR pretty much nailed this event locally. Had the best lift and low level moisture PA line and north. Not a drop fell here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaWarrior2 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like Northern MD/Southern PA just rocks in every type of weather. Got nothing in OC besides some light rain yesterday morning. 0.13" back at home, heavy stuff went just north of Perry Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't understand why most of PA is not a lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I got a brief thunderstorm between 12:30-1:00 a.m. and picked up .38. The highlight of last night, so to speak, was watching distant flashes from the Mason Dixon lightning, and later the Baltimore Co. action low across the western horizon was pretty nice. Otherwise meh but glad for the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What a ruckus of thunder and lightning last night got 0.50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't understand why most of PA is not a lake. A lot of corn is planted in S-Central PA which promotes quick absorption of rainfall. We get flash flooding, but to get true large scale flooding you need about 6" of rain basin-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I fully expect .02" of rain and some gusty winds prior to the spit shower. .07" from the morning showers and a some overnight drizzle. Never did get the gusty winds, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was jokingly referring to what seems like the recurring (every) summer theme of storms up there. I swear, every day i look at the radar and it seems like there is a line of storms stretching the entire N-S span of the state, usually stopping right near the mason-dixon. and that MPE map above illustrates it perfectly.

Durp, my bad. I did some research on that when I was finishing my undergrad in Geography using GIS (Geographic Information System) software. There was a a weak to moderate correlation with the steeper slopes of the Appalachian Mts. enhancing rainfall in the late evening / overnight as it compensates for the reduced instability.

Cool insight. I knew there was something to my anecdotal obs. Lo and behold, the current radar shows what? A line of showers / storms stretching from the SW to the NE corner of the state. South of the M/D line.... not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
