wxdude64 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 They aren't "early". Not changing colors due to cool temps/shorter days. Just stress from the dry conditions. Exactly. Not here. June 4.67, July 6.29. It WAS dry for first 10 days in Aug (0.06) until yesterdays 1.11 fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 We got a true pity MD from SPC; perhaps we can get a true pity warning from LWX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I am getting some awesome "made you jump" thunder right now but not much in terms of rain. I haven't looked at the backyard gauge since I'm sitting on the front porch enjoying things, but certainly less than .25" so far. ETA. When I say enjoying "things'" what I really mean is a Leiny Oktoberfest I found in the garage fridge from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Debacle. Finally get a couple of raindrops and the sun is shining brightly. Only question is whether I water tomorrow or Thurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Decent boomer just rolled through here. Picked up a quick 0.38" on top of the 0.5" from early this morning. Took a shot from the end of my driveway as it rolled in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Got hotter after the storm vs. before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Severe warned storm came through about 2pm -- Lots of wind and small hail. Dropped to about 70 after the storm moved through, but we're back up to 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Got hotter after the storm vs. before. Really? That's weird. It was 85F before the storm here, and has been 77-79F since it stopped. It managed to drop to 74F during the heaviest rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I love storms over the ocean. Though apparently I'm too dumb to get the pic small enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Really? That's weird. It was 85F before the storm here, and has been 77-79F since it stopped. It managed to drop to 74F during the heaviest rain. It is definitely much more humid after the rain. Feels like pea soup out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It managed to drop to 74F during the heaviest rain. Maybe not exactly, but it felt that way with the higher dews. Temp IMBY got up to 89, dropped quickly during the rain and then got back up to 86 after. Frederick hit 91 after the rain according to the radio.

Trees can still be stressed this time of year. Dry isn't the only stress. I think it's pretty normal to see trees drop leaves this time of year. Seems like you always see it.

WinterWxLuvr Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can someone explain the physical process that allows giant raindrops? I was driving home today and drove through a patch where the drops seemed to be the size of quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 i'm beginning to forget what a good thunderstorm is. when i said this was a tame summer over a month ago, i didn't think it would describe the entire summer, but at this rate it may very well be the case. it's been a while since i remember such a meteorologically boring summer. maybe we were due.

You know, I had that thought, except I thought hail. Regardless, I think it's one of the coolest things. Some of those things are like getting hit with a water balloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those things are like getting hit with a water balloon Graupel is usually baby hail. Sometimes they are from hail,but graupel is more common.

dailylurker Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Nothing today, barely ever saw a cloud until late this evening.Lol awesome. What a hell hole. Pretty lame here as well. I got split and missed this afternoon. Drove through that cell north of AFB, around 3:30. Had those giant raindrops someone else was talking about. Got home and it was dry. Probably had .20 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Should be quite decent the next couple of days, then the heat returns. GFS has a 12 day 90s streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXW176 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Graupel is usually baby hail. Sometimes they are from hail,but graupel is more common. Had a pinger out in our 'hood today that hit my grill. From the last pop up that quickly moved E. No radar sig and just one distinct ping. Was kinda odd.
