adelphi_sky Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 1.58in total for me from Tuesday and Wednesday. Although I thought I would have gotten more than .59in yesterday from the storms. I'm happy for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a nice storm here yesterday It wasn't as much as people further north got, but still there were sheets of rain at times as the line went through (it was a bit fun to watch the heavy rain continually changing directions because of the wind), and a few instances of flash-bang (including one that happened when the skies had cleared). (For the edification of others, I live a few miles away from H20) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Very nice night. Got to spend it on the patio beside the firepit under a gorgeous, deep sky. Got rewarded with a few perseid meteors too. Pretty rare to have such clarity and comfortable temps in early Aug. A+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely in that orange pixel south of Fairfax City though. It’s incredibly dry here right now. Lots of wilted shrubs, with a fairly healthy leaf drop, to boot.

CAPE Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Tuesday continues to look potentially active. Mount Holly's thoughts this morning- On Tuesday, the aforementioned low pressure, associated with a decaying MCS from the source region, will push a frontal boundary into the forecast area. The exact placement of this boundary will dictate the resulting convective evolution throughout the day Tuesday, nevertheless the environment is likely to be favorable for strong to severe thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. Being that this event will be driven by primarily by mesoscale processes, details are still a bit unclear at this range, however all severe weather modes (including damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail) will be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening. Deep layer shear is forecast to be in the 35-40 kt range with MLCAPE values of 1000-2000 J/kg. Some guidance has impressive low-level wind shear profiles and low-level curvature to the hodographs for this time of year. Precipitable water values will be high as well (well over 2") so flash flooding will be a threat where the heaviest storms begin to train over the same areas.

yoda Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 @high risk @Kmlwx @Eskimo Joe LWX seems gung ho for Tuesday severe in their AFD: Heat and humidity increase further on Tuesday as a strong area of low pressure and associated cold front approach from the north, potentially creating a volatile weather situation over the Mid-Atlantic. 850/925 hPa temperatures approach 20 C/28 C respectively, which in the presence of full mixing (assuming little to no cloud cover) would yield surface high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. There will likely be some cloud cover ahead of the approaching front however, especially over northern Maryland, so currently forecasting upper 80s to near 90 over northern Maryland and eastern West Virginia, and low to mid 90s for DC/northern and central Virginia. Dew points also approach 20 C at 925 hPa, further indicating the increasingly hot, humid and unstable airmass moving into the region. Heat index values will likely approach 100 degrees near and south of US-50 Tuesday, unless there`s more appreciable and widespread cloud cover. The hot and humid airmass advecting into the region is expected to encompass a large area, with much of the eastern third of the CONUS forecast to see 1.75-2+ inch PWATs. So even with southwesterly low-level flow which often introduces a slight downsloping/drying component locally, any drying should be offset by the higher moisture content in the ambient low-level airmass. Model soundings indicate 1500-2000+ J/kg MLCAPE later Tuesday afternoon, as well as locally backed surface winds ahead of a developing surface pressure trough (attendant to 4-5 mb 6-hr pressure falls), enhancing surface convergence and mesoscale lift. Profiles indicate anomalously strong wind fields for this time of year, with effective shear of 35-40 kts likely over the warm sector. This environment could be conducive for both supercells and bowing line segments, with all severe threats possible (though damaging wind gusts may prove to be the primary severe hazard). Flooding could also become a concern due to steering flow parallel to a slowly southward advancing cold front in a high PWAT environment. Exactly when and if convection dwindles Tuesday night remains unclear, and will be reliant upon small scale convective evolution Tuesday afternoon not yet resolvable at this time range. If a more cold pool dominant linear system were to develop, it may dive southeastward and out of the area more quickly. But persistent height falls/destabilization argue that back-building or training storms could develop on the tail end of any such system. Therefore, the above threats will likely persist into Tuesday night, but with less coverage and certainty than Tuesday afternoon and early evening.
