Did a quick search and what I'd give to be in Savannah right now. 95/75 HI 108. Had the convection held off another couple of hours it would've been heat advisory territory for the I-95 counties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewell2188 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Can clearly see where storms are wanting to fire today. Appears west of 66 may be left out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I just went to Giant one mile from my house (see arrow) to pick up a few things. Heard thunder so checked Radarscope and saw the northern MontCo pop-up. It was still filtered sun and dry at the store. I get almost home and there's a curtain of mod/hvy, large-drop rain just sitting stationary right about the entrance of the neighborhood. Pretty good dose of rain -- maybe a half inch - while places 1 mile away got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Looks like it's bubbling up towards Ballengers Creek now -- lots of lightning with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the radar - it's not unrealistic to say that it's possible for Ellicott City to get stuck under training storms or stationary storms. A few hours of that would easily cause major flooding issues for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I find this type of setup more exciting than a quick moving cold front with potential derecho. Mainly because the storms can be repetitive over several hours, huge rain producers and often with wicked lightning/thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 3 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: Big outflow on that Frederick county cell. Yup. Looks like the Reisterstown storm pushed a boundary downs towards Ellicott City and that fired a bunch of stuff up. Constant rolling thunder to my south. The radar seems to be a bit overdoing things though at least at my location. I was under 50dbz+ for three scans and it's not even wet under the cards or trees.

smokeybandit Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 One anecdotal indication of how dry it's been. Sump pump is barely running. Back in the spring, 1/4" of rain would make it run every 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This AA county storm finally raining itself out. 2.25" which will probably be on the low side of things once I see Cocorahs tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sat 5 miles west of me. I stood and watched the impressive fireworks it produced. The rain totals will be impressive. I hear my local fire department in the distance headed out. I'm willing to bet there's water rescues going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Still steady rain here and when I went out to check the gauge in the garden, I was surprised to see that we've already gotten well over an inch. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
