    That had to be the best storm I seen this summer, howling winds torrential rain and crazy lightning show power went out twice from 2 close strikes. I see they put a warning out for it soon as it was passing over.

    "Car wash" rain!

    But hey at least we’ll get some cute cumulus clouds and pop up showers this weekend

    And now the usual "vehicles stalled/stuck in high water" reports
  7. Amped
    Radar estimates of close to 3" near dca. Not quite enough for a flash flood but pretty impressive.

    Now seeing an LSR of a tree into a house in the 3000 block

    Terrible call. Lots of rain and some really nice gusts, plus the best light show I’ve seen in ages. With a late-night bourbon in hand after being dragged to Thursday night HS football, it actually might have been worth the wait!
  10. CAPE
    Warned for one inch hail and winds to 80 mph.

    No big rain yet here, but some lightning flashing through the window and rumbling happening. Wonder if this stuff can propagate south and soak outside overnight.
  12. WxWatcher007
    Yes, with the 2017-24 period being extraordinarily brutal, especially in the Gulf. That said, even if the peak is quiet the downside of that slope still brings plenty of activity normally. I don’t anticipate that here but I still think we get a few hurricanes in the basin. Most likely in the subtropics or something.

    Nocturnal tstms w/ elevated CAPE often deliver big w/ LTG of all types. The crazy "quick" flickering constantly is a telltale sign! I think it is tied to the high CAPE in the mixed-phase layer of the storms. Really cranks up charge separation!

    When I went down to the Gulf Coast a few years ago, there were still foundation slabs dotting the landscape. Katrina wiped out neighborhoods and some people just never rebuilt. Sad stuff but a powerful reminder of what some of these hurricanes can do.

    This is the best cloud to cloud lightning I’ve seen in many many years on the back end. Amazing splintering right overhead. For a half hour now.

    18,000 units w/o power in Arlington

    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.
  20. pazzo83
    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.
  21. pazzo83
    ripping through the city - definitely some high winds.
  22. EastCoast NPZ
    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...
