Ian Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 2010 had monster snow and I had 3 of the worst 5 thunderstorms I ever experienced including the morning mauler, and a 2pm afternoon event where Nws team reported slivers of 90mph gusts in our subdivision. 2016 monster snow snd DC is getting some more than typical events including the recent all time hailer around Rockville Post mod/strong Nino years tend to be 'decent' for the northern tier of the country and northeast.. tho I'm not sure I'd categorize this as a big year so far. Better than recent years nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some reasoning tho it was in private so I probably shouldn't repeat it. I don't necessarily agree with the reasoning either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really think of a "good" reason not to use it. Oh well. Meanwhile - pretty meh here - but good thunder and heavy rain. Guess I won't have to water the plants for a few days so that's nice. Howard did well in terms of reports it seems. Cmonnn Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 88Ds are still better overall and SAILS was added for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - good point on the terminal radars. Even so - they definitely are not as good and the products are lacking IMO. Oh well. LWX gonna be LWX Seems today was a pretty typical severe event for our area - isolated patches of reports with heavy rain in a bunch of other places and meh elsewhere.

RIC_WX Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 My 7th summer now in Loudoun (time flies) and continue to be amazed by the rain shield over this place in the summertime. Seems it can precipitate in any direction except from the North or Northwest, which fails almost every time. And yet, the storms explode to the east. Every. Single. Time.
