09-10 analogy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Beautiful ambient light as the sun sets and as the storm passes. Lots of mammatus clouds to the east and south. I don't know whether it's because it's near the longest day of the year, or the way the storm clouds to the east and south are reflecting the setting sun, but it just does not look like this outside that often in our area. Everything looks like it's been sprayed with gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything looks like it's been sprayed with gold. Here in Pikesville/Greenspring - it was an amazing sunset color. The light was like looking through yellow sunglasses, greens were amazing. I was wondering what caused that kind of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Wife said power has been out since 7. I was in the way home from Crystal City around then - exited the HOV lane at Edsall Road and got blasted by torrential rains, some minor hail, and really nice gusts. Neighbor has four trees down, and there are a lot of smaller limbs down all around. Totaled just under and inch - I'll call it 0.97". Power better come back on. I hate being on a grid that goes down like [a lead balloon]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Wow! Great pictures. Quite the treat from mother nature this evening as you all know. I saw the best lightning I've seen in a couple years. I was driving down route 50 at sunset. Beautiful mammatus, big CG strikes, spider lightning. Really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm not a big sunset guy but that one was about as good as I've seen in DC. Of course I had to have dinner with Randy and Matt instead of taking pics. The storms... were better north heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Weird storm, didn't reach severe criteria here but came respectably close. Outflow came in first, was a hot/dry wind at 25-35mph. After 10-15 minutes of dry heaving, the rain came in on a burst of wind from the NW, around 40mph, before going 100% calm while it poured. Then after about 10 minutes, it came roaring back from the N/NE, closer to 50mph this time. Sent a few limbs flying, then went calm again as abruptly as it began. Rain continued for 15-20 minutes.

famartin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 .65", decent winds, lightning and close to 10 minutes of hail. Areas to my SE will do better as per usual it seems. 5.4" for the month, nice reversal from May. Looks like more to come. Only hit 94 on the PWS, but see JYO put up a 97* ob. Must have been for a few minutes when the sun fully came out. Could have been so much hotter today with less high cloud cover. JYO runs hot. In this case, I'd trust the PWS.

Eskimo Joe Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Glad I wasn't a jinx for being interested. We had over 50 reports of wind damage in the county, 45 traffic signals out and over 15,000 people without power. The hail reports from Baltimore and Harford were pretty decent too...but when you have decent shear, CAPE and mid level lapse rates that's expected. Hopefully tomorrow pans out and we get hit again. Not too confident though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Storm total: 1.06" Monthly total: 8.32" You all took some nice sunset and lightning pics! It was storming here during the time the sun would be setting so I didn't get to see anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Power restored at 1:35 am. And now the compressor is acting up, so no A/C at all. Last night sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The lightning display over the ocean last night was amazing. Just sat on the back balcony of my condo and watched Mother Nature put on a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 There is nothing like watching a natural light showAgreed. Fireworks don't even compare. It dumped down here too. Rained sideways on two separate cells. Had to be 1-2" of rain total on the north side of the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
