EastCoast NPZ Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Back to the usual of t-storms hitting all around me, but not over me. I've been missed about half-a-dozen times in the last 2 days, each time with a few sprinkles that didn't wet the ground. Today alone 2 good storms nailed Winchester, the last of which missed me by several hundred yards and one at mid-day which gave close to .75" at my work, less than 4 miles north of MBY. Not too concerned; my yard is still drying out from Friday, and at least I got to mow yesterday. 8/1 .50" 8/2 .15" 8/3 3.10" 8/5 .10" 8/6 T 8/7 T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Drove out to Westminster this evening for dinner and on the way back we saw some decent distant lightning way off in the eastern sky. When I got home and checked the radar, I was surprised to see that the closest storms were nearly in Dover, DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Almost no rain here today, but some nice looking sky this evening with the sun and distant storm clouds.

yoda Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 From this afternoon's LWX AFD... oh boy, can't wait for more flooding rains! Quote .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Aforementioned upper-level trough will build into the region from Canada and New England Saturday. The 500mb trough is forecast to become a cut off low sometime later Saturday or early Sunday. The cut off low is expected to linger over the region through Monday. Starting on Saturday, showers and thunderstorms will be likely starting as scattered in nature, becoming more widespread by Sunday. The position of the cut off low to our northwest will act to create a south to southwesterly flow which will transport tropical moisture into our region. This will lead to precipitable water values near the two inch mark. The presence of high moisture levels along with the upper level trough to the west will create a environment favorable for repeated rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms, which could ultimately result in more flooding issues. Temperatures this weekend will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s with light winds out of the south. Monday into Tuesday, the cut off low will shift eastward over our region. Precipitable water values are forecast to reach above the two inch mark for most of our region on Monday. This will lead to conditions favoring a potential large precipitation event which increases the potential for flooding. The cut off low is forecast to move north of our region on Tuesday and start to shift out of our region by Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The surface wind flow is expected to become westerly on Tuesday which will help to limit the moisture levels and the precipitation potential. Scattered showers and storms will still be potential on Tuesday due to the upper level low sitting near the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the grass or shrubbery this green in August my entire life. ..pretty rare for sure. Saw a nice light show for an hour just west of N. Myrtle beach last night where I am this week.
