Headed to Federal hill in Baltimore to rewire an old row home. Point and click says 96 for Inner Harbor today ...it'll be toasty I fell asleep with showers and lightening marching towards my doorstep. Literally raining in Silver Spring. I wake up with 0.0 in my rain gauge. What cruel world is this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showmethesnow Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just got back from camping and went to pick the dogs up from the kennel. Just 3-4 miles north of my home got hammered with winds yesterday evening. Big limbs down everywhere and the one country road I took I was lucky to get through as the were multiple huge limbs down across the road where I had to drive on the shoulder to get around.

dailylurker Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 My point and click has only a 20% chance of storms today so I'm expecting another active day. When it has 70% chance of storms I never get a drop. I scored a nice summer lightning storm late last evening where I picked up around a half inch in 15 minutes.

WVclimo Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Ended up with 0.98" of rain from the storm last evening. Three large trees came down on my property, two across the street and another two doors down. A trampoline that was anchored into the ground with a heavy 6' stake lifted off (bending the stake) and flew about 50' before bouncing off the hood of our truck and then wedging under a tree, keeping it from smashing into the side of the house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something I guess Southern Howard County has really missed out on a LOT in recent weeks. I have lots of leaves down in my yard from stressed trees. Not that I have too much confidence in the guidance in such a weakly-forced pattern, but the CAMs today have most of the storms affecting DC and points south.

JakkelWx Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 @C.A.P.E. - Check out that anvil to the east. One moment it wasn't there and one blink later it's exploded. Currently eating in Dover, because there's hardly a single restaurant other than Pizza Empire down the corner out in dis countryside. Heard faint thunder twice so far, other than that KC-10 that keeps flying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It's 97° at BWI, Warrenton and Manassas. Southern St. Marys County at 96°...probably could use a heat advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to 97 for the 3:52pm ob. Chance for 100 is shot, but we were either 98 or 99, which is a big number as we get into late August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
