Dale City is a safe place to live. 9 times out of 10, the hail misses us. We only had light rain with some gusty winds for a brief time.

 

Most of the forcing is north and east now.

 

I expect a sixteenth of an inch of rain tonight and only a trace of rain tomorrow (3 to 6 drops all day long), but it will likely turn out dry tomorrow after 4am. So much for a slow moving front - the rain is moving steadily eastward and away from N VA. I love rain, but I am not going to get much more. Oncoming La Nina means a drier spring and one hell of a parched summer with brown grass. Its going to be so hot and dry in N VA this summer, that we are going to make South Central Texas look like Waterworld by Independence Day. NWS is all over this - they have already changed our rain chances for tomorrow to low pops.  Gonna dry out and warm up a lot next weekend. Break out the bbq and the beer.

 

Looks like DC got a ton of rain and severe weather.

Got a brief shower but watched the storm develop 2 miles to my north. It was awesome to see but I experienced NOTHING. Not any more than .05. I didnt see lightning either. The boys in the neighborhood had a LAX tourney next door until 9:30 pm.

Also...anecdotal/potentially made up feeling that we tend to do our best on days when we aren't even in a slight at times still fits. Minus our outbreak moderate days - we have had a fair amount of "get slammed" days when SPC was relatively low on probs.

Agree Kenny. When things are "ripe" there is still a spoiler factor that can't be ignored. When things need to "ripen" theN sometimes it's perfect choreography that can't be predicted until it's happening. Today happened to fall in place just right. I'll never forget the noise driving down Georgia Ave. Wild stuff.

   Interesting that LWX in their afternoon discussion explicitly talked down any large hail threat, and we ended up with one of the best hail days I've seen here in 20 years.     They mentioned mid-level warming evident in early afternoon ACARS profiles; I have to think that widespread ascent with the arriving trough cooled the mid-levels back down.    It's too bad that they didn't get an evening balloon launched so that we could see - I'm assuming that a storm overhead prevented it.
