2019 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx - General Discussion

[87storms]

No lightning showing up with these at all.  I get the impression there just isn’t enough instability up this way, but we’ll see.

[NorthArlington101]

TOR for Reston, embedded rotation within the line.

 

Looks pretty solid... hard to tell because of the proximity to KLWX

 

Looking like an embedded supercell.

Tornado IAD? lol

Tornado IAD? lol

TIAD is another radar station

A Big Nothing here west of Woodbridge.  Like really nothing.  Radar looks MUCH worse than ground truth. At least from what I have experienced all day. Under 1/2 inch of rain as well.

[ErinInTheSky]

This severe thunderstorm isn't amounting to much in Germantown.

 

We really don't do severe up here very well do we?

[87storms]

The cell moving through the 270 split looks intriguing. Of course, I’m not there at the moment.

Nope, but we have big winters. Oh wait...…….

New TOR, decent circulation over Kensington, MD

[mattb65]

Just got a TOR over my house next to Wheaton. Looks like broad rotation still.

[NorthArlington101]

Reports of multiple trees down in Reston, per Twitter.

[87storms]

just a rainer so far through olney.  not much wind to speak of.  that cell north of glenmont got the warning, but might skirt south of me.  

[WxUSAF]

That’s it? What a joke.

3k nam showed this a day ago. The line stayed west. I'm ok with that considering the last couple years of flooding in EC.

Mid Atlantic Severe FTL

[Kmlwx]

Weak couplet went right over my parent's house in Colesville. Nothing heard/seen. County police 4D air indicated maybe something was on ground but nothing heard after that. 

[replaceits]

Bust in Charlottesville as well. I think I heard a single rumble of thunder amid the light breezes.

Rain wasn't too bad though, more than we got on Sunday at least.

[BlizzardNole]

LOL.  A whole week of build-up to this "severe" event.  Not even a single rumble of thunder.

Last Sunday was significantly more exciting (even though I slept through it). The season is still pretty young. Check back in May - and June. 

[09-10 analogy]

Went up to ft Reno and looked over toward Bethesda. Definitely a shelf (?) cloud over Bethesda but no rotation as far as I could see. It’s a bit away and of course dark. Some low clouds scooting NE. If I put my imagination glasses on Ithought I might have seen a slight protuberance hanging down from the cloud but in all likelihood that was just interplay of city lights and low cloud or just an outright mirage.  Nothing to sound hells bells about that’s for sure. But this was the closest tornado warning to upper NW for a (long?) while so figured it was worth a gander

[Eskimo Joe]

Tornado and Flash Flood watches canceled.

[09-10 analogy]

Not lamenting that the torrential rain didn’t show up

[Stormpc]

Final daily total .46. I'm not mad, but not a gust of wind, rumble of thunder or lightning.  If you told me beforehand this was going to be a normal day with some showers preceding a weak cold front I would have not known the difference. On to the next one. 

[WEATHER53]

Surprisingly quiet here considering nastiness not far to my nw. 0.35”, modest winds, no t/l

[NorthArlington101]

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

Kind of disappointing.. you could tell earlier today with the way the clouds were low and throughout that it wasn't going to do clear enough for storm. Lifted index is -3 to -4, radar is dying out a bit.

Looks like latest Hrrr likes @C.A.P.E. yard east towards the beaches overnight for final rounds 

Getting waves of torrential rain here this morning. HRRR depiction seems to have verified.

My weather station died so no idea how much has fallen. I will go out and check my standard rain gauge later this morning.

 

No wind, no thunder. As expected, the severe threat with this event was nearly non existent for our region, and would turn out to be nothing like last Sunday.
