I did get some rain. .02”.

Well, I have a very rare tornado warning right now. Severe t-storm capable of producing a tornado. Radar indicated some rotation. I’m not too worried. Tornados in these parts are just cut all to pieces by the terrain. Usually very short track and not too intense. Hopefully, we get some decent rain out of it, though.

The OFB from the north stuff dropping down from PA might collide with the OFB coming up from the south storms route 50 ish could be a good spot.

It’s related to El Niño. It’s just a shifted pattern from past ones. My guess is the lack of arctic ridging (which is weakly correlated with +ENSO) and AGW are allowing the ridge to go further south and be much stronger.

Pouring under this cell.

Would not be surprised if there was a small spin up tornado NE of Taneytown about 15-20 minutes ago. Certainly a velocity couplet there for a few frames.

Far SE MA getting some storms. Although mostly downpours.

Got crushed here. 0.01" so far.

Run ahead outflow killed it today

Marysville picked up .67 of rain for the afternoon storms.

Just noticed that too. It looks like it threw out OFB to the nw as it slides ne. Really weird radar. That line in PA looks like it's holding strong into Carroll County. We'll see!

Unexpected storm. Was cooking some sweet chili crab legs when i noticed the skies go dark. Thank you outflow

5th July on record and first since 1931 with two days officially getting 1.5”+ of rain. Still three weeks left in the month to get a third for the first time ever.

Looks like it threw out an OFB

Mesonet data shows eastern Montgomery County, western Howard, and northern Harford/Cecil with wet soils. If something fires in these spots, I could see a rogue flash flood warning or two this evening. In this storm term, impressive cell near Federalsburg, MD

If I never post again, it was the mosquitoes that got me.

I figured... just looks weird lol

Just like yesterday, watching storms evaporate on the western edge of the county and then resurrect off to the east. Lots of dark clouds and thunder, no water...

I was in PG county then, and the ‘83 blizzard had the best thunder and lightning snow that I have ever seen. It was pouring potato chips and you could literally see the snow accumulating during the height of the storm.

Yeah. What the heck. I just noticed that. Maybe it collides over Maryland and we all get a flash flood watch lol

Welcome to summer convection!

Funny thing is, while humidity will be lower, there's likely a better shot at 100s with this round compared to the last one, with the peak currently projected to be Tuesday/Wednesday. Duration is a lot more questionable though (especially with NE extent).

Yup, I remember that one well too. I believe it was overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning. Top 5 positive bust as not one forecasters even predicted an inch.

Weird looking radar... Radarscope has light showers flying east/southeast but heavy showers moving NE that just popped up in DC metro
