wxdude64 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Pretty nice rain this morning that started around 5 am. Yesterday had clouds most of day with on and off light showers in the afternoon and evening, but not enough to cancel events, including the fireworks show. High was a very muggy 80.2.

Stormpc Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Not a drop, drip or drizzle for July. Not a trace since mid June. Very unlucky to miss everything. Maybe that changes today. Not feeling it. Strange to miss in every direction 5 miles or so from my house. It can drive one crazy if you let it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Quite a sharp cutoff in western AA county. You went from over 1.5" to nearly nothing over the course of 2 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Looks like some serious flooding in VA. There's been a stationary storm for hours. Looks like another day of missing storms in all directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 15 hours ago, mattie g said: Zilch. I've been within a few miles of nice rains, but nothing has made its way here. Painful. It was a completely different world in Clarksburg yesterday from 6:30pm-7pm. Storms popped to the NW and pulsed their way SSE over time. One of the storms pulsed right over Clarksburg and we had 1.23" of torrential rain in 25 minutes. It was windy, too, with lots of gusts over 40mph. As the storm was exiting to the SSE, it collapsed in a downburst that was wild to see. The sun was shining to the west as the heaviest rain in the downburst occurred. Very cool. As soon as the rain let up, the biggest gust of the storm happened, from the SE as the storm collapsed. It knocked the anemometer off it's mast on my roof so I did not get a reading but the closest weatherbug station 900m to the SSW measured the gust at 67.1mph. A second cell that was all of 10mi across popped right over us at 11pm and gave us another 0.3" in 10 minutes. My place was like a Costa Rican jungle this morning. Here's the heart of the downburst at 6:49pm Here's as it was ending at 6:59pm: ...and, here's just after it ended at 7:09pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely some kind of microburst Most intense weather I've seen since to do derecho . I was right off Snowden farmParkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Mattie g and MnTranny...at least you have seen 'something' the past week or so. Mattie got about .5 a few days ago. Not a trace here. Sub-zilch. Any decent downpour will cause a flash flood, the ground is cracked concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a different world up there yesterday. It was brutally muggy and pretty warm all afternoon and evening here. Had some light showers this morning, and hoping for a little something later.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Quote Public Information Statement National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 333 PM EDT Wed Jul 5 2017 ...KLWX 88D Radar Outage July 10-14, 2017 for Upgrade... The NWS 88D Doppler weather radar located at the National Weather Service's Baltimore/Washington Forecast Office in Sterling, VA will be down for approximately four days beginning around 9am EDT this Monday, July 10th, 2017, for technicians to install an important technological upgrade. During the outage, radar coverage is available from nearby radar sites including FAA sites for Dulles Airport, Reagan National Airport, Joint Base Andrews, and Thurgood Marshall BWI Airport...as well as NWS radars for our forecast offices at Mount Holly NJ, State College PA, Pittsburgh PA, Charleston WV, Blacksburg VA, and Wakefield VA, and DOD radar at Dover AFB. A crew will install a new signal processor, which replaces obsolete technology, improves processing speed and data quality, provides added functionality, and supports IT security. This is the first of four major upgrades, known as service life extension projects, planned in the next five years to replace and refurbish major components of the 20 year old WSR-88Ds and to keep the radars operational into the 2030s. The $150M investment is being made by the three organizations that use these radars, the NOAA National Weather Service, United States Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration. The other service life extension projects include refurbishing the transmitter, pedestal, and equipment shelters. The tri-agency Radar Operations Center, which supports the radars, estimates it will take about 10 months in 2016/2017 to upgrade the signal processor on all 159 operational WSR-88Ds.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 This has just been a crappy year for weather, period. We can find more ways to suck. At least I didn't get any rain yesterday (the one day in summer I do not root for rain)! Eta: coming soon!
