Herb@MAWS Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 A little cell popped up to my south over the Fairland area on Tues evening about 8:00. Reached MBY on east side of Columbia just before 9:00. 15 mins of ground-watering rain, about 1/10". But a great lightning sky show as the storm verrrry slowly moved NE/ENE-ward from Laurel. It looked like the most intense part of the cell went over Laurel, Ft. Meade, Jessup and Savage .... and eventually MBY got clipped as a small "arm" from the cell grew NW-ward to over my 'hood from the main cell. It would not surprise me if the west side of Columbia and Ellicott City saw nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wet conditions continue. I will believe it when I see it. Have instructed my daughters to water the gardens early to avoid melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC 4 has been teasing upper 90s by the end of the week, but other forecasters show more moderate heat. Hats off to NBC 4 for boldly predicting megaheat well before other local stations.

Stormfly Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The insects are way ahead of schedule here. I heard annual cicadas at the end of June (typical is mid to late July) and last night the Katydids were singing loudly like they would be the first week of August. Fireflies began to peak the first week of June! It's been warm but not bloody hot. Yes the heat Sat will be the first really HOT weather we've had here since, well 2012.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm pretty excited for this remnants of Berry to meet up with our super hot airmass. It's a pretty rare scenario. Flood watch just to the NE of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 87/79 Was just outside watering all the plants. Zero faith my yard sees any significant rain over the next couple days. Been almost a week since it rained. Close to 2" of rain doesn't last this time of year- 6 days later and the soil is dry af. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There are some crazy ass PWS' with dewpoints in the upper 80s (obviously overinflated) but damn. Those heat index values.

MN Transplant Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hard to tell with the rounding, but DCA is something like 87/76 right now on a river wind. IAD appears to have ticked up to 91 already. My station is 92/79 for a 108 HI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 12z RAOB from IAD has a convective temp of 93°. Not sure we get above 95 degrees outside the urban centers. It would be interesting to see how many days IAD, BWI and DCA average with a high above 95 and how we compare so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday will feel unreal......in a bad way ..... although maybe Saturday will be the worse day, looking for a low Friday night only in the low 80's maybe.

high risk Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 While I do think we'll reach the convective temp, I'm not sure how relevant that is today. The hi-res guidance shows a bunch of storms firing out over the terrain to our west, driven by local circulations and enhanced by the approaching shortwave. While I'd like to see the HRRR as aggressive as the NAM, I feel pretty good about storm chances today, especially for those along and north of 66 in VA and 50 in MD on the west side of the bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
