Kmlwx Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Continuous rolling thunder - not much in the way of anything severe, though. At least thus far. (Colesville, MD). Temp is getting knocked down, at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I need these cells to the southwest of me to keep growing north to get into northern Baltimore county. Let’s do this ! Love fridays. Sitting on outside porch. Single rolling distant thunder . Dog on alert next to me chillin and ready to howl. Scotch in hand and RadarScope on my phone. O wait. That was a flash. 20 second delay long distant rolling thunder. To the north east. Maybe it was that York cell. That was cool and unexpected. .

Kmlwx Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 We've had less LSRs on severe thunderstorm watch days. I think this could have been given a watch. But of course - it was harder to say earlier. The dewpoints were juicy today + some good heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esullivan Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Back side of the velocity scan ripped thru NW DC and was pretty impressive. I’m sure there are some trees down - hearing a few sirens.

NorthArlington101 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Had a strike loud enough outside my building to set off a car alarm, but definitely still sub-severe in my neck of the woods. Maybe the best storm of the summer, though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 That was a decent storm in my neighborhood during the 5pm hour. Had off and on hail for a good 20 minutes w/ gusty winds and torrential rain. The hail looked to be around quarter to half-dollar sized (1"-1.25" in diameter). Some leaves stripped off of trees courtesy of the hail.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Looks like the lead cell in Montgomery gusted out and caused a nice circular outflow boundary. The secondary activity that was over NOVA picked right up on that and just congealed into a nice multi-cell line. Mesoscale meteorology is so cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite no severe criteria being met in MBY - that was a lot of fun to track and watch the evolution. I would call yesterday a win. Lots of places got some much needed drinks for the grass and there was some nice thunder and lightning even if the storms were sub-severe for many. Good, widespread storm day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, widespread storm day. Yeah, even though I didn’t get much rain imby, I saw a lot of very gusty winds. Likely over 50 mph. My toddler was spooked.

Herb@MAWS Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Rain gage batteries crapped out Friday but received estimated 0.15" in Friday's local t-shower/storm. The cell's "reds" got to within a mile of my area but instead just moved from the west ... NE-ward, but passing by and missing to just the NW of me. But overall still better than nothing. Turned out to be a good shrubs and lawn watering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 The HRRR is quite stormy for the overnight period. The overnight nature probably means limited severe threat, however. These nocturnal storms tend to be prolific lightning producers when the atmosphere is humid, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
