Was wondering how it was on the Outer Banks, thanks for sharing. Any waterspouts by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Man, that STW out by Washington, VA is super wimpy. Nice to see storms already popping, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Pity meso discussion is out. 5 percent odds of a watch. I'd keep a closer eye on storm motions and heavy rain threat. Some areas really got walloped last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Good wind signature on that Loudoun cell. Thinking it will gust out long before it gets to me in Eastern MoCo - but for now it looks dang good. Storms doing a great job of splitting around me for now.

I barely saw any rain from the earlier stuff. Looks like a new cell may be pulsing up on the front end of the dying stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It is always hard to compare, but I think this was the best storm in my yard in the 12 years I’ve lived here (caveat - I missed the derecho). Big branches down next door and across the street. Highest wind gust on my anemometer (probably was higher in the March wind event, but no power). This one combined with the July 1st tornadic storm is a solid one-two punch this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Wooo!!! This was the most lightning I've seen in my yard in a long time! Heck of a lightshow--awesome cell!! (nice to not see it miss north and south, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This is total hindsight, but a severe box covering northern VA, central MD, and southeast PA would have easily verified today. I don't blame SPC for being bearish on the chances for organized severe here, given the lousy deep layer shear, but a good amount of downdraft CAPE seems to have led to an overachieving event. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If there's good DCAPE and a kicker we seem to jackpot here. It almost can compensate for the lack of shear and mid level lapse rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Given the amount of DCAPE and strong sunshine today, I'm surprise we aren't in a DY1 slight risk. There's another kicker working through the region this afternoon and it might yield similar results to yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
