Bodhi Cove Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Prior to losing power, wind gust of 52mph. Scary hail striking the windows, heavy rain, lightening.Cringing at what kind of damage we'll see in the morning.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Picked up a quick 1.44" so far in several waves of wind and rain. Would downpour and then lull, then repeated several times. NWS radar projection shows some back building, albeit not as intense as these initial waves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The split filled in. Pretty amazing call by the mesos that showed the southern edge of the storms poking down just far enough to get Burke in on the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good storms. ~1.5” here, 1.83” at DCA. Radar estimates were too high inside the Beltway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial line moved through quickly, but on and off moderate to heavy showers continued for a few hours. 1.05" total. The wind occurred along the outflow/gust front just ahead of the storm. Nothing severe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearby PWS has a similar total. My cheapie plastic rain gauge has 1.1”. Kind of amazed it wasn’t more. Storms regenerated a few times overhead. Had a solid hour+ of heavy rain. Easily the most entertaining storm this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Welp, it would appear that a tornado was embedded in the storm that rolled through the area (from the port to Sparrows point and Fort Howard.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember the date -- July 10, 1978. The hail was tennis ball size and took out all the west-facing windows of people's houses. I remember my dad running from window to window helplessly as they shattered. Everyone got new roofs too.

LP08 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 About 1.7" last night on my station in Arlington in a little over an hour. Trashcans were a complete mess last night floating down the street. Running out with the constant flashes probably wasn't my best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Ray, Alexandria had over 2" and I'm not that far from there. Didn't measure but we only had perhaps 30 minutes of moderate rain, reduced to light showers on that line's way east. Even the lightning/thunder was garden-variety summer thunderstorm here, but we were on the very southern edge of the roughest stuff. Radar did look intense to the north, though, and I wondered if there would be flash flooding in the usual trouble spots like Huntington and over by Wolf Trap. And man...did I get an earful from Mrs. V this morning about the wx radio klaxons signaling flood warnings, which came through around 1:45 a.m. and 6:05 a.m. Since we rarely "flood" here, might have to disable those particular alerts...

The county built a big dyke down near Huntington to prevent that one area from flooding so maybe it will pay off for these rain events. Wolf Trap has a valley effect in places so that won't get any better with all the paving and storm drains. Your hood is just low to begin with. If y'all were a few feet lower you'd almost be tidal. lol I'm just getting frustrated with my VP2 wx station. Its old. Like 15 years old. And the rain collector gets clogged too easily and not sure its measuring precip accurately anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 From MH AFD- Saturday will be a return to more typical summer mugginess with highs potentially approaching 90 and dewpoints rising well into the 60s. Naturally, given the high Theta-E airmass ahead of the cold front and increasing mid-lvl flow ahead of the shortwave, convection (potentially strong-severe) could be a concern if the timing of the best forcing aligns well with the diurnal peak in instability... which is still to be determined.

jacindc Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 That cool radar-based rainfall totals map someone looked to recently shows that, as I suspected, I was right in the line of the heaviest rain, though about six blocks to the west of the deepest purples. Estimates 2.84" for me, and I believe it. Just poured and poured. Rushing rivers of water in the gutters, which I don't remember seeing very often. One really close lightning strike, but otherwise mainly just a great light show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Harry Truman Dr in Largo and hail was quarter sized and green hue to sky just sickly. Luckily I got my car into a carport. the house I was visiting had 4 broken windows and shingle damage.

Baltimorewx Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 just saw that this happened in my neck of the woods last night…I don’t think I got a gust anywhere close to 88 but maybe 50 Tonight we want to recognize the heroic actions of Marine Emergency Team 26 . Just prior to this evenings storm, a distress call was recieved for a vessel stranded on the rocks at the Craighill Channel Upper Range Light. Marine Emergency Team 21 and Marine Emergency Team 26 responded. Marine unit 269 from MET 26 faced grave conditions including a reported water spout or possible tornado within a few hundred feet of their vessel. After rapidly extricating the stranded persons from the rocks around the lighthouse, MU269 advised they were unable to get into the marina. MU 269 had to ride out the storm in extremely high winds that toppled sea containers at the nearby Dundalk Marine Terminal. Segirt cranes at the terminal reported wind gusts up to 88mph. After the incident Marine unit 217 and 219 from MET 21 remained with their vessels until all other units reported they were safe and back on land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Surprised no talk this morning of the LWX AFD for our severe prospects starting late Friday on @high risk @Eskimo Joe @Kmlwx Quote .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... High pressure will shift offshore on Fri with winds turning southerly allowing warmer and more humid air to return to the area. Moisture return increases in earnest Fri night with potential for showers and thunderstorms to reach the Appalachian region after dark associated with a strong shortwave trough moving across the upper Great Lks. The ECMWF has been remarkably consistent the past several days showing a complex of t-storms reaching the Appalachian region around 12Z Sat. Unfortunately, the 16/00Z run is delayed and not available at this time. The 00Z NAM synthetic imagery shows a huge complex of thunderstorms over western Ohio Fri evening reaching the Appalachian region late Fri night after midnight in a weakened stage. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... High pressure will shift offshore by the start of the weekend leading to increasing heat and humidity. A disturbance (noted by an unseasonably strong upper jet) will cross the region Saturday posing a risk for some showers and strong to severe thunderstorms, though uncertainty exists due to any left over cloud cover or wind shifts associated with upstream convection the day before. After a brief break Sunday as the front from the day before stalls just to the south, Monday into Tuesday of next week looks unsettled as southerly flow returns. Increasing heat and humidity will likely interact once again with an unseasonably strong upper jet, and there may be a connection to tropical moisture with this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
