    That’s about 1-2 miles from me. Didn’t get huge wind at my house, but what an intense light show.

    M49 mph wind gust Upper Marlboro mesonet site. I'm surprised it wasn't higher given the wide open nature of that location and the site's position relative to that wind core on radar. The nocturnal boundary layer has to be working overtime to mitigate gusts getting to the surface. If this were even late evening there'd be more substantial damage reports coming in.

    I believe it, in Alexandria a couple miles away and thought some trees might come down with the gusts in the first batch. Said to my wife, who I tried to wake up to appreciate it , wow I bet those were at least 60. Reminds you of what the power of even a minimal hurricane is like. just Incredible light show too. Ironically the best one I had this year was visiting my sister in the Netherlands in June. I think it was the most lightning they'd ever recorded.

    yeah - I believe it. My location is pretty protected in NW but definitely had the stop sign by my house violently shaking there for a few minutes.
  7. pazzo83
    ripping through the city - definitely some high winds.

    Some serious lightning with the line just to my south. Got to be one heck of a storm . Finally got some rain here; nothing very heavy, .33". At least it rained. Probably a top-5 event of the year.

    Mesoscale Discussion 2227 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1056 PM CDT Thu Sep 03 2026 Areas affected...northern Virginia and central Maryland Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 652... Valid 040356Z - 040500Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 652 continues. SUMMARY...Damaging wind threat is increasing for the greater Washington D.C. area. DISCUSSION...Rapid thunderstorm development occurred late this evening in the vicinity of Washington D.C. Here, warm-air advection thunderstorms combined with increasing convergence from an outflow boundary from an earlier storm. The result has been a rapid increase in hydrometeors aloft, which will support heavy water loaded downdrafts/downbursts capable of wind damage across the greater Washington D.C. area. At 0348Z Washington National airport measured a 64 mph wind gust. This threat will continue to move east over the next hour. ..Marsh.. 09/04/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

    LSR says fire department reported trees down on Woodlawn Ave in Falls Church

    Those velocities are making a beeline to the Upper Marlboro mesonet site. That's a wide open spot so that station will get a great sample of whatever comes through.
