GramaxRefugee Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Suddenly getting strong gusts and rain at 8:40 in Mitchellville, PG Co. No thunder heard yet. Very quick onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just popping in to see if thunder was heard...because, ya know...winter folklore and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Did not hear thunder but have a few confirmed strikes from detection network to our S and SW. Nice heavy line moved through. Overwhelmed the gutters big time! Quite gusty too, sadly better than a lot of so called severe events we get in late spring. Just noticed 973mb / 28.73" on the barometer! That's really low here. The record (for us) was 966mb / 28.53" set way back in 1993. Yes that one! Too bad this wasn't snow, I know 10 years ago we dug out from round one with round two coming. Probably have to live 500 years to see another round like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pann threw up a tweet last night from the 3k showing a 966 meso low sitting over our region this morning and speculated it could lead to some possible snow. I dismissed it as a model error, but it does seem a strong little low ran right through the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Even with the brief heavy rain this morning, major short-range QPF bust on this storm from the major globals, Euro first among them. Like nearly 2" too wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Looks like the severe stuff may have been somewhat elevation fueled. Despite what appeared to be a strengthening line heading into the Baltimore area. Just some really heavy rain and a little wind gust here. Lower elevations didn’t seem to get the punch that a little higher up did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Weird how there was a pity 5% meso then we get an event that would've at least easily verified a watch box. Strengthening lows that go sub-1000mb as they cross out area always seem to produce some interesting results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
