00z HRRR

What’s it take to get one of these storms overhead in DC? Just want some fun T&L

Come on, blob. Blob my way

I think a fun bit of micro climatology played a part in that storm complex. Looking back at radar shows the storm popped up right over Dulles airport around 9pm. In college I learned that the delayed heat release of pavement peaks ~2 hours after the inversion layer sets. Definitely think that the local heat island of Dulles helped make a convective current that finally broke into our high CAPE environment. Now we get to watch the storm spread out through boundaries. Really goes to show how human made heat islands impact the whole area around them.

Some new blossoming of the radar giving me some unreliable hope.

Pouring! 1.4” in 30 min

4.96" for the day so far. 5.98" event total and counting Lost power an hour ago just in time for the soccer game. Had to fire up the generator

Same .. Stuck on 0.44 from the 4th...

up to about 4 here. Still going but much lighter

Was coaching for the IM-meet which is a mile from Dulles and that storm is a crazy lightning producer. Tons of CG strikes with loud thunder.

2.86” today, 3.46” total. Proper soaking.

Just got home to find another 2.66" to go with the 1.09" that I had overnight and early this morning for a total of 3.75". After being missed in all directions for so long the law of averages finally came through.

Just getting completely outclassed

Pouring rain here for the third day in a row.

Okay My typical Not measurable in Garner

Brier creek got dumped on NW Wake County this evening. I am just on the edge of Brier Creek and got .18". My old house about 3.4 miles away off page road near Topgolf, 2.18" of rain there. I am the rain shield. Those storms this evening were just training over NW Wake county into Raleigh. A friend told me that a older man was stuck in his car on Glenwood Ave and Lynn Rd with the heavy rainfall. He was rescued out of his car. Im heading to Seattle later this week where highs should be in the low to mid 70s and nighttime lows in the 50s. I may not come back with temps like that lol

Westerly getting pummeled right now. Most of CT is except that rogue band over DXR

Raining here too, up to 4.94”. Current radar to our south is filling in again

Storm flare up just south of Ashburn

Since we’ve been doing so well with radar looks tonight so far. It looks like it is coming together for RI and E MA.. possibly (lower chance) Ginx area

Well ended up wit another 0.42" for today, raising the total to 1.43". 2-day Is 3.07". Got up to 79 for a high and am currently at my low of 68.

Well, I'm glad I got the 0.89 from the Saturday storm or I'd be looking at a shutout for the event.

Locally enhanced shear due to boundary interactions gave me this brief gem!

Wait for it to blossom like the U.S. team. Tied. Edit: Shit, 30 seconds later Belgium punched back.

0.000000”. Been a decent day although a little humid this morning. Glad we don’t live in CT..as always
