2019 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx - General Discussion

[87storms]

It’s about to get serious here 

[biodhokie]

I'm hoping to get some good booms. I'm desperate for a good storm.

[87storms]

Decent little gust front through Potomac just now. Torrent should be next 

[87storms]

Absolute torrential downpour here. Top shelf in that department. Premium in gusts. I think I missed the lightning core but best storm of the season for me so far.

[WEATHER53]

Visibility reduced to 150 feet In Extreme downpours 

[NorthArlington101]

First thunder I’ve heard all year, first totally unnecessary STW for the Beltway. Here’s to severe season!

[AmericanWxFreak]

Great T&L in Fulton

[NorthArlington101]

Real nice burst of T&L. I approve of this storm.

this was a classic summer-like tstorm.  great daytime heating, some of which we didn't have with the other recent busts.  i'm a little disappointed that i missed the lightning core, but the lightning radar is lit up to the east now.  i can even here the rumbles off in the distance.

I’m in the 250ft vis rain now too. Pretty impressive. Small hail hitting the windows as well.

Storm of the year?

[BlizzardNole]

Nice thunderstorm in Germantown -- about 0.42 in 15 minutes, lots of lightning, and a brief gust to 45-50.  Sun is back out and the air is fresh.

i think it is for me so far.  had a little bit of lightning.  if that was better it would be a tough one to top for the rest of the year tbh.

Someone call Noah and tell him to bring his ark.

[weatherCCB]

First legit storm of the season. 

1.00” here in 20 min.  Nice gusts of wind also.

i didn't measure, but i gotta think it was 1" here.  rockville is close by.  it was a south florida style gully washer.

Northern end of that comma head has more T+L then the rest of this.

[GramaxRefugee]

wife reports pellets hitting the skylight at my home station.

now just heavy rain.

[ErinInTheSky]

Gah y'all would love Louisiana.

We get a storm like that every day for 4-6 months.

[Kmlwx]

Tomorrow's threat appears to now be focused NW of the area by the longer range HRRR and the 3km NAM

You have a beautiful state that's for sure. Do you think y'all will ever move back down there or are you in MD for the long haul?

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Look at that fringejob dammit...can it nudge south like about 1,000 feet lol

[JakkelWx]

Knew it was gonna fizzle out on the north end and then snake south of my house.

[CAPE]

Some thunder and drizzle here. Nice storm to my south.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Finally getting into the good stuff now.

For reasons I may one day elaborate on, I'm here for the long haul.

Just ended in Easton, 1.08 on the rain gauge, brief strong winds, some lightning

[09-10 analogy]

Not much T&L in upper NW but then again I was in a basement for part of it. Brief cloudbusts, some really optimized ominiscity (a new coinage that most assuredly will not catch on) above me, little bit of wind, but all in all, fringed.

My daughter goes to school up near Cabin John and said they got nailed today: barrage of t&l, torrential rains, some impressive winds. The same school that was in the parth of the tornado warned cell last week and made no effort to get the kids to safer places, getting them away from windows, etc. Some were in gymnasiums, walking around outside, I even think some outside athletic after-school practices were going on and not interrupted. OK, the cell didn't drop and wouldn't have been a monster if it did, but still ... I'm tempted to say something, but my daughter says it would embarrass her, so maybe I'll email someone in confidence. 

[WxUSAF]

Was pretty meh in Columbia. About 0.2” of rain and no wind. A few decent thunder cracks.

[SnowtoRain]

Spoke too soon 1.35 now with distnace thunder from storms blossoming over the Choptank.
