About two miles north up Georgia Ave from Beltway 

[BlizzardNole]

At work in DC a few blocks from Union Station and barely missed the nice-looking cell to my north.  Looks like lots of lightning on Radarscope with it.  DARN!

[high risk]

not quite severe here in College Park but pretty damn close

[North Balti Zen]

Pretty wicked sky just to the west of my bldg in downtown Baltimore.

It got warned eventually. At long last a direct hit.

Had a nice downburst or microburst in takoma park, tried to upload video but the file was too big. 

[North Balti Zen]

Kinda shocked this storm bearing down on Balt City isn't severe warned yet.

[Kmlwx]

Tree down on house in Forest Glen

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Awesome storm!!! Tons of cloud to ground lightning too.

Now it's warned. About time.

[yoda]

Pretty nasty CG strike just a minute ago here

Torrential rainfall ongoing here

[WEATHER53]

Thunderstorm blew up over me and it’s pouring again

[09-10 analogy]

 

The T&L with that first round was some of the best this season. Wasn't much of it, but it meant business when it unloaded. Wind didn't exactly bowl me over though. With all the storms in my immediate vicinity this season, only one that I can recall has had decent wind. Cloudbursts, hail, possible wall cloud, yeah, but I don't think IMBY I've approached severe wind criteria (58+) all season. Notoriously difficult to judge, of course, (well, for me at least, even with my Skywarn training) without a weather station/anemometer.

Western sky was looking ominous there for a while with round 2, but nasomuch now. Still hearing distant thunder. I always love daytime storms where you hear the thunder half an hour before the event actually hits, the thunder getting louder as the storm approaches. Subjectively speaking, that kind of evolution doesn't seem to happen as much as it did when I was younger, but I'm sure that's just observer/misty memory bias. 

And I'm a sucker for days with 3 or more rounds of storms. I'd almost rather have three rounds of decent storms instead of one big one (unless we're talking derecho or June 2008 -- which had multiple rounds anyway -- or July 2010).

[WxUSAF]

Got split in the bust zone today. Missed south and north. 

[09-10 analogy]

Actually have a good feeling on this second round T&L wise. I think we could be in for a show. 

[CAPE]

Tons of lightning and booming thunder here now. Will significant rain actually fall? Probably less than a 50% chance based on outcomes over the last couple weeks here.

[CAPE]

Radar really blossoming just to my south and west. Hopefully even the leftover crumbs will add up to a half inch or so.

That initial cell was really noisy and impressive electrically, but the heavy rain passed to my SW. Picked up a tenth of an inch.

eh, not quite was I was hoping for ...

[CAPE]

This might be the best T&L show of the summer here. And as a bonus, I gotz rain! 0.55" so far. 

[WEATHER53]

Most lightning this season or last several. Had 4 strikes with instant thunder in 10 min period.

[osfan24]

Somehow managed to completely whiff yesterday. Had some very short periods of heavy rain and saw a couple of flashes in the distance. That was it. The 'ole Hoco split.

[BlizzardNole]

Only 0.2 for me.

[George BM]

I'm low-key watching the post-Barry remnants period. While areas to the north are definitely favored a ring of fire type pattern looks fairly likely to make an appearance.
