Tater Tot Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 We really hit a jackpot here. I'd honestly say the most impressive thunderstorm I've been in since the derecho. Power is out, trees are down, roads are flooded, weather weenie is throbbing! Corresponding with the worst winds (around 4:35) the radar velocity showed some green patches within the red, just north of where I live. Nothing impressive but makes sense because the direction of the winds had practically no consistency at all. I was hoping to drive around and get pictures but I'm stuck between road closures. Recorded most of it from the window because I'm itching for a Darwin award but it was pretty much a whiteout during the worst of it so the footage probably isn't any good. Oh well. My mom made it back home with her steak just minutes before the first gusts, so a happy ending for everybody! ...Well, except I guess for the losers who only got a few thundershowers.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thankfully this has been a more typical rain shower IMBY unlike yesterday’s blowout. It’s been light/moderate rain with a total of 0.3” so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ha another flash flood watch for today - I think that's the third in the last few days. And I smell another shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Weird statistical quirk. For the second time in August so far, we’ve received the exact same totals on consecutive days. Earlier in the month it was two 0.35” days and this weekend was 0.21” each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 no rain all weekend, then picked up 1.01" early this morning. 4.39" for the month so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We had 1.42" of surprise rain overnight. A very close neighboring CoCoRaHS reported over 3" which I'm happy to have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive side we went into the Fri-Mon period thinking it was gonna be a washout except Friday. Turned out to be a pretty nice weekend and sun's coming out now. Wow has SE PA been getting killed though! Many counties under FF warnings again for up to 4" so far and raining hard. Glad that is not us; I just want 0.5-0.75 for the grass and gardens.

Sparky Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Surprised by all the water overnight. 1.12" in the gauge. 5.82" for the August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just about all the heavy action sunk well south of here last night, as modeled. Did have a brief torrential downpour though as a clearly defined outflow boundary from an isolated bay breeze induced storm that moved SW from SNJ into central DE popped a quick t-storm literally right over my yard. I didn't look at the rain gauge this morning but somewhere around 3.7" for the month here, with about 1.4" falling since Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Another flash flood watch. Another day of seeing and hearing storms just to my west for hours. How much is anyone willing to wager it doesn't result in another day of reporting sprinkles that never wet the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slid right to my north before it crossed to the east. Poured, albeit only for 5 minutes, at my job just 4 miles away. Storms literally steer themselves around my yard.

If it didn’t rain another drop before January, the station would still finish the year 4” above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
