Random Chaos Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Quite the storm tonight... 63mph gusts, dime size hail, 1.75" rain in the past 30+minutes. Of that, 1 inch fell in about a 10 minute period. Lost power so my station isn't updating online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly cutting weeds and blowing dust. Been missing all the storms lately, and being in the woods with well drained soil, it doesn't take long without rain to go dust bowl this time of year.

Expand Yeah, I just mowed for the first time in 3 weeks too. Even after 4.45" of rain Thur - Sat, I still didn't need to mow my front yard. Even though it greened up, it hasn't grown a mm. Last time I mowed, I didn't have to mow the front either. It's been 5+ weeks since it's been mowed. Without some cooler temps, we're going to be back to brown very soon.

No fall yet, please! With the day's getting shorter and the first week of August looking great, I'll be ok with whatever mid and late August brings. Once September hits, I'm all about fall.

SilentTalkie Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 In Crozet (between Charlottesville and Staunton) we got .7 inches last evening and .8 inches so far this morning with steady showers continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hey all, question about an odd (to me) series of radar returns this morning between roughly 5:45 and 6:45. Over the North end of the Bay East of Baltimore there was a single point with some ~15 dBz returns that proceeded to spread out in a circular pattern in all directions before dissipating. Could someone explain the phenomenon I'm seeing here? Screenshots included below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've read that birds can cause a signature like that on radar returns, but I doubt that is what this is since it's so big. Maybe APG is doing some testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 That is most certainly birds leaving their overnight spots. That's a pretty typical size for a bird ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Could be - or some other type of bay-loving bird given the proximity to the water. I love radar signatures like that. There's some pages online where you can see all sorts of signatures that look near. Cars on roads, bats, insects and of course birds. If that's APG doing testing I'm hoping we aren't irradiated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks for the replies! Very cool. I'll do some reading on the bird related signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Definitely birds. Some people have made animations at the national level where you can see the "rings" pop up from east to west as the sun rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Those are either geese or sea gulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
