There’s two strong storms northwest and southwest of me that I’ll probably go right between unless something fires up in the middle of them before they get here.

GramaxRefugee Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 A few sprinkles. Classic dry slot over us, per radar. So far, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just had a green tinted 15 minute heavy downpour of 0.25” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hit squarely with two solid cells today in NW DC. Gotta be an inch from both... ground can't really hold anything more it's becoming a lake. Solid shelfie too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 No shelf, just a gradually weakening line moving in with some thunder. Still some pretty cool looking clouds with rain shafts in the distance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 That line of storms connected and now there is no gap. Looks to be pretty strong, but quick. I’ll take it, whenever it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mild to chilly May and July. A very humid and somewhat above normal July, but nothing record-breaking, most not reaching 100. A wet and mild August. Now, cross your fingers September doesn’t pull nasty heat out of the late season bag of tricks. We are ripping two gardens out for grass and re-seeding. I'd like a 10 to 15 day stretch of warm, dry weather in September to get the seed started. Hopefully after that we can get into a 'normal' autumn.

CAPE Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 How much, if any, energy from that southern trough will be able to eject northeastward to give our area some rain chances towards the weekend? This would be a much more interesting discussion if it were winter, in what would be a favorable NA pattern, with confluence to our NE. The suppression fears would be real.

Mosquitoes should be the size of small dogs by now. I've seen condensation on the outside of my windows a good umber of days. And they are double-pane gas filled.
