Wow that cluster of storms running along the topside of the DC Beltway is nasty.
-
^preview of Winter 2025 - 2026? Maybe we'll get whacked?
-
Agreed. Some three or four day stretch of dry mid 90s heat that just feels like a crisper.
-
Nearly five inches of rainfall this month. RSTM2 COOP site. Impressive.
-
Going down to Chincoteague August 2nd to 9th. Just need some hot, sunny weather.

Tornado Warning NE Carroll County
-
what creek?
-
Spotty, but slow moving and intense storms today. Once again, I believe the watch is justified.
-
Got a screen cap?
-
4.77" for the month. Incredible. Bye bye drought.
-
NYC metro crushed. Legit flash flood emergency up there.
-
Incredible gradient. M1.83" Layhill mesonet site, only M0.09" Clarksville.
-
Looks like 150+ calls in pending up there. They got slammed for days and today the watersheds just gave up.
-
Not sure why we had a Mod Risk of flooding south of Mason-Dixon. 3 hr flash flood guidance was pretty high and soil moisture was pretty tame. Definitely a Slight Risk day in these parts.

The public has a personal responsibility to maintain a basic level of situational awareness. If they choose to ignore dangerous conditions around them after being warned, then that's on them. We cannot consistently play to the lower common denominator or loudest complainer in the room. Sometimes, you just have to FAFO.

If you get under one of these cells, it's intense. I received 0.64" of rain in 15 min from a cell today. Also, some of the mesonet soil moisture probes are showing fully saturated soils. For example, our flood sensor on Cabin John Branch at Bradley Blvd showed a 5 foot rise in 40 minutes on Saturday. If that storm over Potomac persisted for another 20 to 30 minutes it would have been real trouble. This absolutely justifies the flood watches, IMO.
-
Yup. That Harney site has been full of surprises. Didn't expect that to be hotter than our Baltimore City site from time to time. More sites in the pipeline hopefully for this summer!
-
So....thoughts on today's severe weather potential?
-
It's specific to Montgomery County, not statewide. I'm actually the program lead for that and was the one interviewed. We currently don't have the capability to get the flood sensor data to the public yet, it's internal to public safety and public works agencies. We are working on a solution to make it public though.
-
Slight Risk warranted through Friday, IMO. We are in the summer doldrums.
-
Mid level lapse rates are terrible. The cell over Montgomery County barely got off the ground before it collapsed.
-
Dewpoint on the Upper Marlboro mesonet site is 79°
