Little mini train setting up for those of us in Leesburg. Nothing compared to what's hitting the western part of the state, but padding stats for sure. Up to 1.4" today and closing in on 5" for the month.

Picked up .33 in about 10 minutes from the edge of that cell that worked it's way through the middle of Loudoun. Also looks like a house a couple of streets over got struck by lightning

1.5 yesterday and 1.03 today. Guessing that was my heaviest rain of the year that fell yesterday, since the 1.5 inches fell over a combined 162 minutes. Also kinda crazy that I received about 25% of my yearly rain total over a span of 18 hours these past two days.

Wow, yeah, I think that spike coming off the cell at the 4 o clock position is a classic indicator of very large hail.

Nice little storm moving through Loudoun. Bit of wind, some pea sized hail, heavy rain, and a few claps of thunder. Hopefully just the start of a stormy stretch for the area.

Yep, same for us with the soccer season. This will be week 5 and they've played 1 game. Maybe the whole thing will keep slowing down and it'll stay dry until the evening. After that, bring on the deluge.

Beautiful out there this evening. The winds have died down and it feels perfect if you're out in the sun. 62° under clear skies currently.

Was just out on my deck and thinking it was way too early for so much pollen to be showing up. Now I know, it's all southwestern dust! Interesting, and annoying to clean off furniture out there haha

Lots of damage photos on X from that day: https://x.com/search?q=Leesburg tornado until%3A2020-02-10 since%3A2020-02-07&src=typed_query

Damn, fringed in Leesburg. Guess I could chase to Sterling...

When I was a kid, I emailed him what was a very basic weather question after seeing rain change to snow. Must have been shortly after we got access to the internet, so maybe 1997? He was nice enough to reply in detail, and that's how I learned about wet bulb, dew point, and evaporative cooling. I had to come to the weather message boards to learn about storms making their own cold air though.

Just don't forget to sweep your darkness board! My temp instantly dropped 2.2° once I remembered to sweep mine

Gotta love when you get instant street stickage. Nice light snow right now, would be prefect if this kept up all night long.

For some reason my tempest station is reporting a temperature of 36. Every other nearby tempest is sitting under 32, with a bunch reading 31.6 Guess I'd better find a better place to mount it. Only thing I can think is that it's picking up a bunch of heat radiating off my house.

Been lucky here in Leesburg with that band of moderate to heavy snow training over the area. Looks like an additional 1.5 inches or so from that...pretty fluffy stuff.
