BlizzardNole Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I was just in a meeting with some people in Arlington and DC and they were talking about their big sudden storm. So jealous! My crispy yard could use just one storm but I know it won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat to watch that hail core pop up right where those two discreet cells collided. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Looking east from Leesburg I can clearly see the DC cell on the right side of this image. The much smaller cloud popping up on the left side lines up perfectly with the location of the outflow on radar. Maybe something is trying to get going in MoCo? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the tippy top of that storm trying to will it north. Definitely can hear the thunder with a few close strikes. It just now started to rain. So, I guess it is slowly expanding north.

09-10 analogy Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Storm migrating from my south has had more T&L with it than a lot of more well-advertised storms coming from the traditional north and west this season. I think some tiny hail might be mixed in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Perfect right now. Rain, thunder, lightening. No wind, no hail. Good ol' fashioned summer thundershower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09-10 analogy Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just heard the Dora gun go off nearby. CG hit a nearby TV tower. Perhaps my favorite aspect of a thunderstorm; a CG strike that lights up the room in broad daylight, followed immediately by thunder that sounds like the mating call of 10,000 brontosaurs with sore throats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Nice discussion by Mount Holly on the heavy rain potential for today into tonight- A rather interesting meteorological setup exists today for the Mid-Atlantic region. A large-scale midlevel ridge initially centered in the western Atlantic will retrogress slowly to the Carolina coast by 12z Saturday as it aligns with transient ridging in southeast Canada. Meanwhile, a convectively-augmented vort max will migrate slowly clockwise on the northern periphery of the ridge, generally from the eastern Ohio Valley and central Appalachians this morning to the northern Mid- Atlantic coast by Saturday morning. Large-scale lift in advance of the meandering vort max will likely prove sufficient to generate scattered to numerous storms during the afternoon in our CWA via diurnal destabilization. Although there is subtle synoptic forcing as addressed above, subsynoptic lifting mechanisms will be rather weak and/or chaotic. These include orographic lift, sea/bay breezes, differential heating, etc. As a result, convection-allowing models are unsurprisingly variable in today`s convective evolution. There are, however, some similar characteristics among the guidance: (1) greater coverage versus previous days, (2) some semblance of convective propagation southward and westward, in association with ambient instability and (weak) low-level trajectories, (3) slow storm motions via weak tropospheric winds, and (4) multiple rounds of convection, with the evening/overnight rounds tied more closely to the larger- scale vort max. The greatest variability with the convective simulations is with the coverage/location of the overnight storms, with some models effectively stabilizing a large portion of the northern Mid-Atlantic from the daytime storms. Others are more aggressive in maintaining convection or developing new storms in close proximity to the vort max. Current thinking is that both scenarios will likely play out to some degree. Given the convectively-enhanced nature of the vort max (potentially exhibiting warm-core characteristics via MCV-related processes and attendant thermodynamic profiles), it would not be surprising to see more widespread convection during the afternoon/evening become more closely aligned with the track of the mid-/low-level circulation during the overnight hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Central and NE MD are in the slight risk area for excessive rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 A potentially very wet period upcoming, especially if the remnants of Ida pass over the region. With our extended summer season just beginning, get used to dealing with the mosquitoes well into October. Hopefully the Fall season will begin early this year, maybe by early November. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 All the leaf litter and woody material on the ground around my house has started to smell bad. I think it's all turning into a big rotten slime mess from all the humidity and rain this summer. It's kind of smelly just to walk outside, usually I like the smell of natural decay but this is foul. Got a quarter inch yesterday in another storm and I'm sure today won't disappoint either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
