DDweatherman Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Weird but still getting CG strikes up here every couple mins well behind the storm. Impressive and certainly unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 13 minutes ago, MN Transplant said: There's a reason why SPC talks about "within 25 miles". There just aren't many events that pan out other than in very localized places. We're seeing it here with Westminster and others. In Fairfax County, we are going to see a small stripe of damage from Manassas to the east, but nothing else. I also gusted in the 20s and the rain is actually not impressive for how the radar looks. Big drop bias. Thought today would be a little more like one of those rare less localized events with the moderate risk but it still probably verified for MD and can’t really complain about not losing power.

09-10 analogy Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Nice little storm, with a decent amount of T&L and winds to maybe 35, but, as another poster noted, nothing like last weekend ... at least MBY. I could see the clouds booking but the winds aloft didn't seem to be transferring to the ground level. Or maybe not, I don't know. Maybe that little cell before the main line prevented it? Crazy stuff up in Westminster though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wasn’t seeing it. Same thing happened last week. I guess it’s justified though, as guidance couldn’t make up its mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning strikes have increased sharply and purples showing up on radar Yeah that had to be the little cell that popped 20 min or so before the main line. Because that little cell fell apart east of the District. I know weather is more complex than that, but it seems to fit with what occurred inside the Beltway and why this was just another storm here, as opposed to many other places, where it seemed to amply justify the Moderate Risk. But I was semi-blasted Saturday before last, so I don't feel particularly letdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Now I'm sitting on my screen porch smoking a joint. I'm just east of Crofton and it's flooding rain with random big wind gust. It's still increasing. What a day. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 From Rockfish Gap looking north around 4:30, this was the tornado warned cell that had just passed through Staunton. Rotation was pretty clear 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was semi-blasted Saturday before last, so I don't feel particularly letdown. I figured when my wife and I got caught in a bit of rain from that little popup cell about 20 min before the "main event," that we wouldn't get the full punch from the main event. Having said that, we're getting horizontal rain right now and some CG lightning from what I think is still the main event...but nothing like what I was anticipating from the earlier forecasts. Currently 70/69. And based on radar....do we get another, less severe round in about an hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Significant power outages extend into much of northwestern VA, so the lines did have a fairly wide footprint in impacts. It just didn’t bullseye the DC metro area. https://poweroutage.us/area/state/virginia https://poweroutage.us/area/state/maryland 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
