JakkelWx Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 So I chose to drive and it's awesome. Tons of lightning and heavy rain, with gusty winds. Finally seeing rain, but I'm heading home since I'm getting tired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 For a global model, the gfs did a good job over the past 36 hours with the heavy rain in central MD this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 DCA reached 95 today... how many days this year is that? I am guessing DCA has about 10 days of 95+ this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Looking forward to today's fall preview. Cloudy, cool with a chance of rain in the afternoon. That sounds delightful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The lightning was really bad in central MontCo. We heard a bunch of fire trucks going up Rt 355 which turned out to be a house fire from a lightning strike (see story below).

Worst winds I have witnessed. Trees down everywhere in the development along with some houses having damage to siding and roof shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Latest NAMs dissipate the showers moving through northern areas now and then develop convection with the trailing vort max well south in eastern VA. Not much of anything this afternoon/evening for the greater DC-Balt area and points east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 That ended up being a heckuva light show and heavy pouring rain in my part of Balt City last night. Best and longest lasting lightning we have had here in quite awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Decent rain shower here in Easton. Looking at radar, a bit of convection firing and moving over my yard after being dry all morning. Mesos generally have not done well with the persistent area of rain showers moving along the front. NAM especially weakened/dissipated it too quickly. Lets see where the next round blossoms- still looks to be mostly down towards eastern VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
