Don't worry we'll probably break that dry streak tomorrow and get a decent downpour! The last inch or greater of rain was June 11. I feel ya. My storm was headed toward me perfectly. As loud and obnoxious with thunder and lightning as could be. Somehow it went poof over my house and blew up to my east north and south. I was left with scraps. .14 so far. I say so far because I'm hoping that action to the Southwest comes by and scrapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodhokie Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Got a nice strike and then a decent spurt of rain over in Bethesda near nih. The smell of rain was long missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The storm just to the south of downtown over the last hour or so got so painfully close, but really didn't quite make it into center city. About three minutes of rain. Lots of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were peak season with the upcoming pattern of a high amplitude trough with the trough axis just west of the Appalachian Mountains, I would think that we would be talking about tropical systems tracking along or up the eastern seaboard potentially giving us decent impacts.

Jebman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Dale City got annihilated by that thunderstorm. We had dangerous lightning. I picked up an inch and a half of rain. I should be Texas-Bound in about 10-14 days. Not particularly happy about it either, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I did pretty well yesterday. Had a few loud cracks of thunder, a little wind, and some periodically heavy downpours. Had storms develop just to my east to start the day and then slowly re-develop back toward me, and then had a final group of cells push through a couple hours later. There was actually a STW with the last cell but it kinda died out some as it rolled through. Needed some rain though, so that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Seems for some reason we have not been able to cash in on the high PW vapor present the last few times, maybe today. But, like in winters with back luck when I see the rain falling only then will I believe it . A week and a half ago I was watering my garden during the flood watch ;-) 3 hours ago, MN Transplant said: The 06z 3km NAM is a hilarious DC split.

frd Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 From the morning Mount Holly AFD, which I don't like this specific wording : Coverage of thunderstorms: Thunderstorms look likely across the region, though in Delmarva and far south Jersey, weaker shear and limited synoptic scale lift may limit more organized convection.
