Looks like things are starting to pop. Another day with storms moving south to north. I've got some dark clouds developing to my south and radar confirms there's water starting to pour out of them. 

And there's the first rumble of thunder.

Still out here.... smoking weed. I'm get a really cool lightning display. The storms headed into PG and AA mean business. Man... ground shaking missiles. Looks like big rain incoming for my area. 

Down here in the swamps it's sounding like a classic summer night. I was just sitting outside enjoying some really tasty cannabis (weed) on my patio while listening to the storms approaching from the south. The insects sounds and the rolling thunder reminds me of being a kid. Minus the weed, of course. 

I'm in Williamsport, MD. I'm in a little valley with the wind blowing right now a ridge just off to my west and SW. I'm in a open parking lot washing tractor trailer trucks lol. My guys aren't happy. It still feels dry and truck reads 102. 

My company is washing 40 tractor trailer trucks this weekend in Hagerstown. It's a desert out here. Everything is toast. Even large trees are dying. 

Looks like even here in the lowland swamps were going to bake out whatever moisture we had. Nothing here overnight but sprinkles. Should be a beautiful brown fall lol. Seems like that's becoming the norm.

Looked pretty ragged on radar as it made landfall. It's super rare to get those perfect eye walls with clear skies. I was hoping for some sunrise shots from inside the eye. Looks like it made landfall in a pretty good spot as far as population goes.

Woke up to the garden shower. Looks like around 0.1” fell (guesstimate based off local wx stations). Gambrill/watershed might have done a little better, which is right up the street from me.

I love it up at the watershed. I was hiking up there a few weeks ago on a weekend. Normally I go during the week. Dudes were flying past me on bikes the whole time. I'd just blow a cloud of weed smoke for them as they came by lol. I also go there to see winter since we don't really have winter on the coastal plan anymore. The lake I visit up there is almost dried up. 

I figured I'd bump this for the drought victims. Here east of DC we're trying to see how flooded we get tonight lol

We have a drought thread.

Flood watch for the northern Shenandoah Desert including Winchester area -- we'll see!

I've had no rain since August 8 and don't expect any this week or any time soon.  The 90s and dry next week will finish a lot of stuff off.

From what? The chance of showers today and tonight? Models don't show much. 

Visible satellite of Franklin looks amazing right now. It's late afternoon out there and the sun angle really shows that beautiful stadium effect. What a beautiful display of raw natural power. 

Radar practicing for winter lol. So close but another miss. Pretty impressive rainy day to our south.

What the heck is going on to our south. Huge wall of water down there. Is that coming north. Kinda looks like its trying.

Woke up and checked radar and saw a big blob of greens and yellows headed directly towards me then Moses appeared out of nowhere and well....you know the rest

Same. That was impressive. Poof, gone.

Chilly this morning. I had to run a plant night all night to keep germination of cannabis seeds going. Kinda weird for August.

Looks bone dry now

Now I'm sitting on my screen porch smoking a joint. I'm just east of Crofton and it's flooding rain with random big wind gust. It's still increasing. What a day.

I'm killing it lol. Got blasted just off 70 then blasted out ahead now I'm down in AA County getting ready to see what happens here. I'm all smiles lol

I'm in perfect position for this bow echo blasting down 70. I'm going to pull off and hold my position here right at the 32 exit. I don't want to get anymore south. Looks like I'm in line for max wind right here. Currently scrambling to find a good view to ride it out as it overtakes me. 

I'm on 70 east doing 85 with warnings popping off on my phone for gust to 80. Dark black wall 9n my tail. It's chasing me now wooohooo! What a day

I'm seeing a big increase in lightning over the past 10 minutes. I'm thinking I'm going to let it go NE and head back towards the 95 corridor for the big wall that's forming. This was a ton of fun and I'm proud of myself. I nailed this chase. If it was producing I would of been right on it's tail. 

I'm standing on a ridge with a perfect view of the cell. It's beautiful. It smells like pine trees and it looks like rain wrapped rotation. I'm going to head towards Taneytown and catch this beast produce a twister. I can feel it.

On 550 blasting north

I've got a perfect position on this thing super cell. I'm riding right along side the possible area of rotation. I'm just to the west on back roads. I'll update when not driving. Looks sick yeah!!!!!!
