Quite an impressive 24 hours here. I got 1.68 inches from the system yesterday evening into early morning today. The winds weren't that bad but still somehow managed to take out one of the main branches of the big maple in my front yard.

 

This evening I got two isolated storms. The first one gave me 0.08 inches, the second (which just passed now) was severe and gave me an additional 0.17 inches. I was the spot over the red 50-55 dbz on LWX's radar so most of that rain happened in a few minutes. Surprised that cell didn't have a tornado warning with it, I've seen them warn for much less threatening looking cells in the past.

 

My rain gauge was broke on Tuesday but I estimated (based on reports) I got between 1-2 inches of rain- so I've had about 4 inches in 7 days.

Great lightning in that one, winds were mid-storm, a few gusts, but nothing special. Hail core came towards the end in (I'm on the Burke/West Springfield border). Hail was between pea and penny sized, came down furiously before cutting off. Not bad!

[Ian]

Double warned!

[LP08]

Wow monster power surge..knocked everything out

[NorthArlington101]

I see blue sky. Roads are pretty wet and a little underwater in spots. Still hail, heavy rain, and constant lightning to the east.

Looks like I might get scraped - but this is a weird expanding storm. 

[H2O]

Huge CG strike and dumping rain

[mappy]

Congrats DCers!

[dailylurker]

Man, looking west towards DC is lit up. Looks like you city fokes are getting a good show. I'm waiting my turn. Looks like it's headed my way.

[Mrs.J]

Getting quite a lightning show to my SW. Looking at radar the nearest storm is well to the South of me.

[yoda]

Watching that storm down by EZF

[09-10 analogy]

Tremendous lightning and hail. Don't know how large but was pinging on my car pretty good as I was driving. Hope it didn't dent.

CG strikes not on the TV towers around here.

[jpljr77]

Legit, marble-sized (the small marbles) hail just fell in South Four Corners, Silver Spring, MD. It fell right at the very beginning of the rain and fell for about two minutes. Now just heavy rain and a ton of thunder/lightning.

[StudentOfClimatology]

Just missed me..amazing lightning display despite the fringe job. Getting a chilly E/SE wind here so there's a lot of momentum transport in this thing.

Decent boomer for April

[smokeybandit]

Woo, warning for me
