WxUSAF Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 It almost looks like the rain behind the storms is starting to expand. The rain area looks like it might be becoming heavier. It might just be because it's getting past the radar site Yeah, I was just pondering that. Radar returns do seem to be strengthening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Best thunder I've heard in a while around here. It almost sounds like inversion thunder. Man.. it's shaking the house. Not raining to hard. Great garden rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 nice expansion of the heavy rain across central MD, but back edge is progressing eastward. waiting to see if there is a pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 given the the cooling was likely at only the lowest levels this evening, I suspect that it IS inversion thunder.

dailylurker Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 given the the cooling was likely at only the lowest levels this evening, I suspect that it IS inversion thunder. Nice. I was kinda suspecting that. Thanks for confirmation. Raining very nicely here. That's a win this time of year. I'll take it when I can get.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 CHO had a gust to 43 mph, so there's that! Definitely had some 50-55 mph gusts mixed in with the line through our backyards down here. Then the line just exploded southeast towards Richmond.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 How much instability did you guys have down there today? We got up to 94/68 with CAPE around 2000-2500 according to SPC mesoanalysis. The bubble of 2500 was just north and east of us, which helps explain why the storm got stronger just east of here. We also had a couple of shower/storms earlier in the afternoon before the main line that helped keep the line a bit more tame than SE of us. I was also watching that storm in Orange County that had rotation SW of the town of Orange, near Montpelier, lift northeast. Then it made it past US 15 and started turning southeast. Then it had more rotation near Lake Anna before it was FINALLY tornado warned in Hanover County. Definitely an interesting little storm. Especially since the storm in Madison County earlier that moved in from Page County was heading southeast. Like I said... Interesting to see it turn from NE to SE in Orange County.

Ian Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is right outside my place.. don't even think it was that windy here tho. I do sort of recall hearing some commotion in retrospect but barely noticed at time. https://twitter.com/islivingston/status/743652392718172160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 All of Henrico/Richmond area is without power. I drove through two storms coming home up 95 between 815-925First one had penny size hail. The second one, which was the line, was no joke down here. I swear it felt like I may have driven through a tornado. Dodging small trees falling, lightning was nonstop, multiple transformers blowing...tops my scariest drive ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 There probably isn't going to be any severe east of the Potomac. Unless you count the one tree down that Ian found in DC, pretty good East of the Potomac had a Flash Flood Watch, Slight Risk, and Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Didn't really need any of those.

Not sure where the station is place in terms of elevation, though. Most stations in the area had gusts under 30 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a public station? Not WTOP is it? Its so wooded around here. Some of the trees on the hill there have been waiting to go I'd imagine. I almost felt like I shouldn't report it to lwx but eh. We know how this works at this pt heh. Looks like we got 250 miles of wind reports. It's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we got 250 miles of wind reports. It's happening. It's not the WTOP one... it's a bit further north. Apparently it's a secret sensor At least in that for some reason the data isn't pushed to the public-facing side. The station at WTOP had a peak gust of 27 mph, and the National Cathedral School station a few blocks away from WTOP hit 28 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Pretty big bust here east of DC. Only .65" in the bucket from last night. Oh well.. I guess I'll be back to watering in a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I was about 2 to 3 miles from the main stuff in Purcellville. We all know Round Hill had wind damage (debate on tornado) - The first storm dumped about a half an inch for me in very little time. The bigger line poured about an inch more. But just a little further north (2 miles) they had 2.7" of rain. I had my own little bubble with about 1.48" total. No damage.. just some light flickers! Was wild that for about a half an hour as the 2nd storm passed to my Southwest, that there was continuous thunder. I have not heard something like that since I was little and a tornadic storm passed close to my home in South Richmond. If it had been nighttime it would have been quite the light show.
