Good to hear about Nags Head! My sister and family are there and she was very worried about a dreary week. Latest forecast looks a lot better than it did a couple days ago. We got kicked off north OC on Friday for a thunderstorm sliding east a few miles to the north. Any idea what the rule is -- just audible thunder? People were mad because everyone seems to have radar on their phones and were complaining that it's not coming this way On a dumb note, after an early morning TS that missed very close but with visible CTG bolts right over the water just 1-2 miles out, there was a guy with two little kids running around on the sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the guards would have kicked us off shortly, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldereagle Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Last night’s radar was amazing to watch. It propagated northward and eastward up across the Bay, literally to the Chester River, where it turned more easterly such that the heavy cells streamed just south of my location. It rained hard for a couple brief moments then gently. There was 2 inches within a few miles to the south. It’s still been pretty dry, haven’t been covered by heavy rain at all. The last few nights have been optimal for viewing spectacular lightning in the distance though…. 0.20 inches last night…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, the path at some points was covered with deep sand from the Northwest Branch overflowing. It will be interesting if I can continue to ride it this week. After the big storms there were a few large branches that fell on the trail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Think DCA got like 2.2” between midnight and 1am. I was on northern fringe and had three separate deluges totaling 1.3” over two hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks like 3 periods where heavy rain is possible through next Saturday, the first being later tonight into tomorrow. The first threat looks like it is focused on DC and just west/sw.

CAPE Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 WPC qpf forecast for the next 7 days. Could be even more than that, esp for areas west of DC. I will hope for even less than depicted for my yard, as I have excavation work scheduled for late week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very speculative looking out determining where greater than half an inch of rain may fall. Could very well be a dry week for certain areas despite the clouds .

vastateofmind Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 21 hours ago, fourseasons said: The lightning was so intense and of such a long duration that it recharged the battery on my deck's solar lights so they ran until dawn. Normally, this time of year they conk out by 2 a.m. I also noticed that for quite a while the lightning was a combination of your standard white along with flashes with a red tinge. We didn't get the flooding rain that some folks mentioned above, but the lightning late Saturday/early Sunday AM in that storm complex that blew up out of nowhere was easily the most intense I've seen in the 30+ years I've lived in NoVA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a show in Millwood and the rings have been so dry. To the point of so much dust you cannot see the horses going around except for them coughing up a lung from inhaling the dust. Got there yesterday morning to a ring that actually has some puddling in it. Ring did not have to be watered at all and could see the horses and their lungs were all clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
