Sparky Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hearing a good bit of thunder now and flashes of lightning to my west/sw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Downburst looks likely near Ashburn and Sterling from TIAD, not in the current polygon. Other interesting storms are near Laurel and Damascus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWC Split Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 2nd best storm of summer here in Haymarket. Incredible amounts of T&L, strong wind gusts, and an absolute, much needed, soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been blown away when I've looked at anvils clouds then looked at radar. You can see them from 75 miles away. I've seen them 100 miles away in PA. Storm look great as them approach the area. I hear thunder to my NW from that pop up. It hasn't effected the air mass in my area. Still plenty juicy for the main show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 A lot of lightning to the west. This might be loud and bright if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely saw the anvil from the storm earlier today and that was over 50 miles away. Radar looks solid at the moment... The other night I was driving in the area with my girlfriend and saw some towers that she pointed out and asked if those were storms. I said probably and I said they were probably a little to our NE. At a light I stopped and looked at Radarscope and they were up near Bel Air. I was blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost of leroy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 out here on the plains i will see anvils that are 150 miles away but we get the type of storms that sometimes have echo tops to 65k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not ready to be on the re-intensifying bandwagon yet. At least not to anywhere close to the earlier velocity scans. But it could be coming back just a tad. Also the wind core is probably obscured by the cone of silence for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Heavy downpours with very impressive t&l. But since this is the 3rd night in the past week with similar conditions... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We'll also now have to start watching for regenerating storms or backbuilding per some of the discussions earlier from NWS/WPC. At this point it looks rather tame after this line goes through - but lighter stuff showing behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCA is down, but we do have Andrews. Looks like 45-50mph-ish aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and it's starting to emerge from the right side of the LWX radar now too. Decent for DCA standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 On that trajectory the best winds will go right through DC proper. Will go a bit south of me w/o northward extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 And here comes the warning. Looks like they're warning pretty far north. I like how the storm motion box/line goes outside of the warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
