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

I know it’s a long shot but I also know I’ll be mad when it doesn’t make it.

Getting dumped on here. Full Andy Dufrane.

I'm gonna complain in the here and now and say that it looks like the Williamsport storm complex is going to miss me to the south...

That area had like 2.5" of rain in >24hrs. You can't make this up.

This drought stuff in out of control.

July 4 may have been the peak of severe season here. Let’s get two tropical systems to pour on us like 1954 so we can get moved from moderate drought to abnormally dry.

OMG that is the most bullshit statement. JFC. It was the perfect rain.

Take a hike, punk!

My parents don’t even remember that winter.

There was also a surprise snow in December that dropped 4-8" across the area. Without checking LWX records, I think BWI was around 6".
