28/23 I'm supposed to be driving down to Richmond early tomorrow morning for work. Gonna see how things look at 6 and then perhaps issue a two hour delay for myself.

Vivid lightning and loud thunder with that cell that just moved through Loudoun. Sounded like a good old summertime thunderstorm

I don't have great visuals to share, but in person it looked mighty interesting too. Lots and lots of motion all over the place

The storm moving across northern Loudoun right now looks awesome. Lots of lightning though, so I got outta my viewing spot pretty quickly

Very similar story a handful of miles to your south in Leesburg. 9.42" in May 3.17" in June 1.34" so far in July I know it'll turn around at some point, but it's been wild watching almost every storm blow up to our south and east over the past month. Even stuff that's looked good on approach from the west has died just before arriving and then ramped back up to my east.

Can't seem to buy a drop in Leesburg. We've seen 0.03" today. That makes for a total of 0.44" over the past two weeks. I'm sure it'll balance out eventually though.

That cell in WV is looking really explosive...bubbling up like crazy

Yep, good call

Yep, exactly. Last month they kicked my son's team off the field in the middle of a game. Apparently the decision to close the park happened late. Instead of just letting the little kids finish their soccer game, they insisted everyone leave the field immediately.

Oooof, 89 with a heat index of 95 according to my tempest. Feels every bit that hot if you sit outside for a few minutes, too.

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.
