Rhino16 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’m currently having a line of storms morph around me. It’s the weirdest thing. I’m just in a bad place for weather at the moment I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Still waiting here in the Silver Spring/Colesville area. Looks like some signs of life around Warrenton (other than the ongoing activity NW of Frederick and out in the mountains) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Storm blowing up over me. Just arose from nowhere and it's pouring with thunder. Woohoo, here we go again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Models are in agreement that beltway DMV won't get more than .5" rain at the most (ending at 4am). Not even an outlier. And, we know all them can't be wrong, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’m still stuck in this hole! It won’t close up! Meanwhile storms are going to the north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It's just sitting over us and growing. Easy couple inches out of this storm. A lot of lightning and thunder but no wind luckily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This is a total crushjob just like yesterday. Tons of thunder and lightning. 1.65” in the last hour and still pouring. Yesterday had more wind but I think this is going to be a LOT of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southmdwatcher Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Power already went out once, lots of CG lightning and very heavy rain. And we are at the western edge of the boundary that has set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I don't know what to think about the overnight. Several of the 00z CAMs bring some heavy rain up through DC and even to those of us further north, but I'm not sure if they really have a handle on everything. Perhaps they're misplacing the ongoing convection too far north? That said, the outflow surging north out of southern MD makes me think that things could erupt further north in the next couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This reminds me a lot of the 7/6/2020 and 8/11/2018 systems down here, where it just stalls out and delivers 5”. I’m halfway there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some convection bubbling along the boundary, but whether we get upscale growth is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacindc Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Rivers of water in the street gutters but also along the brick sidewalk. Grass between sidewalk and curb now a lake.

WeatherShak Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I’m in the warning and it has been POURING for the last 30 min. 1.5” easily and gonna be a lot of flooding. Considering pouring some coffee. Watching closely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 And judging by the radar I assume the ffw will be expanded to the entire city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Stuff is still south of me - but I'm getting some pretty good rumbles of thunder the last 10 minutes or so. Still seems that the activity may be trying to push a bit more north. We'll see if it makes it! Stay safe for you guys in the warnings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacindc Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'm in that area near the SE Fwy where the radar has lightened up a little, and thank goodness. Still having quite the light show though. Not sure if that blob over Alexandria is going to rotate my way.Also thank goodness there isn't much wind with all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
