RandyHolt Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A house in the West End got zapped. Presumed struck a very tall tree right next to the house, and then it went along the roof to the chimney nearby. It blew ~50 rows of brick out of the chimney all over the yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About to get back-to-back double-digit monthly totals for August. This isn’t normal, I don’t care what anyone says. We ended up with just under 3.25" here from the storms, again Huntingtown appears to have had a pocket of heavier rain than prince Frederick.

I saw the big storms blow up right over your house from colliding boundaries and even considered asking you for a report. (Curious George.)

Rhino16 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 4 more days of 90s, then however many more of high 80s maybe more 90s. I don’t think it will rain here until Wednesday, even then, who knows. I was away the last time it rained here I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDphotog Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not a bad regular old summer thunderstorm went through Hagerstown, but looks like it got a cramp trying to hop over South Mountain and collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just aborted a trail at gambrill (yellow poplar), but starting to look like I didn’t need to lol. Will see. Still learning how these systems form up this way. Looks like the catoctins can add a little lift/injection as they drop in from Hagerstown/pa.

Just commented on that. Tho looks pretty dark from my view over gambrill state park. These systems lately have often times just rained themselves out. Lack of shear I guess, though not sure.

87storms Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yea so far I don’t like my decision. Was halfway through and heard rumbles, and radar looked healthy. Prob could have finished it. Maybe they’ll reorganize over the hills. Seeing some signs of that towards walkersville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was so annoying up in Walkersville when they would die out right before reaching us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Figured I’d ask as I wait for the storm here lol). Some nice homes up there. I work remote and have been exploring the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have only been here for about a month, so too early to tell yet weather wise. The real test will be this winter. Haha I did like the Walkersville area, it was really nice, but unfortunately just not homes available when we needed to purchase. So we headed further West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that area will do better in fringe winter events. Growing up in southern Moco, sleet makes an early entrance at times while those areas towards Frederick/Washington counties (and even Germantown) might stay all snow. Prob would do better with clippers as well. Not sure how that area would do with lake effect stuff though…might need to be closer to Cumberland/frostburg.

toolsheds Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Question for those who know a ton more than I do. I know what an outflow boundary is and how you can see it on the Radar pushing out ahead of the incoming storms. Right now I see the same type boundary moving towards the cells on radar. Is there a name for what this is, or is it just a radar anomaly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The Germantown desert shield showed its power in a new way. This was heading SE then took a hard S turn just as it got to the Shield -- see the severe warning box pointing south. The Germandesert shield could stop Ida in its tracks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Loud thunder here at UVA, but the storm is running just north. Good show, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got .6" out of nearly 4 hours of thunderstorms. Got about 15 minutes of light rain out of the storm that went overhead. As it exploded after getting to my east I was able to get about 10 minutes of a decent downpour from the rear flank. After that it was off and on drizzle as thunder rocked all around. Storms kept sliding just to my north, then east of me. PWS near the lake, just about a mile away, got 1.3". Places at the tip of the county must have got a couple inches. Basically, the kids got to go trick- or-treating and I got a caramel apple. How'd you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 NPZ congrats on your 0.6 which is double what my parched area has over the last week. NorthArlington nice video! We are talking about maybe Tampa/St. Pete area for retirement -- I guess there might be some lighting here and there in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Feels comparatively amazing out there this morning. Dewpoint is 66 with a temp of 69 and a breeze. Just did some mowing and did not sweat at all. Incredible. The backdoor front made it through, but it wont last long as the front will be heading back north in short order and the soup will be back on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
