I got on radarscope and zoomed in as close as I could into that storm and I still counted nearly 100 lightning strikes on the map with most spots within 500ft of a recent CG.

Has your hearing returned to normal yet?

@mappy Congratulations on completing another eventful 584 million mile trip around the sun!

One of those pulse ups gave me 0.26" of rain w/ 10-20 mph wind gusts. No lightning.

Those earlier storms trained over me earlier dumping 2.31" of rain here! Also got some 40-50mph wind gusts. Another decent storm by MBY standards. I'm now up to 7.52" of rain for June.

Now 70 mph! Lol!

Wow IAD just gusted up to 60kts(69 mph)!

Yeah. You most likely need a drought and/or a, at least, near 600dm high in July to hit the triple-digits. I forget. Have you actually hit 100F before? Once? Twice?

IAD up to 97F so far. 97/69

Just past 10:42pm. The sun has gotten as far north from the equator as it will ever be this year over the western Pacific Ocean! @CAPE Your worry about your lawn being incinerated will soon be on borrowed time as the solar noon sun angle eventually lowers behind your trees. Hot summer weather lovers rejoice for your time of celebration has come! Cold weather lovers you all rejoice as well for the days will get shorter with the sun angle lowering from here on out until the winter solstice, ensuring that the heat and humid will also eventually abate.

5.21" for the month o June so far following 7.62" for May. 12.83" since May 1st.

Was in the eastern part of that destructive tagged severe thunderstorm warning earlier (Herndon, VA). As lots of others also experience, it was briefly fairly intense (by MBY standards) for a couple of minutes with sheets of rain and 40-50 mph wind gusts. The rain and wind arrived simultaneously. I also saw a small jet abort a landing on runway 19L and scale the leading edge of the rain curtain. Certainly no 80 mph wind gusts here. But it was my best storm in years.

RIP Yes I know it's probably just wonky in that location... hopefully...

I'm guessing 70/30 wind probs based on the watch wording?

Finally MCD'd.

Oh okay...

IAD w/ a tropical hourly ob of 84F w/a 78F dewpoint.

High Pwats + decent CAPE = torrential lightning w/ those currently warned storms.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch out until 7pm from roughly US-15 east.

Unusually warm mist here. 75/75 currently at IAD. Some windows are fogged up.

That's right Aldie man. Use your power to get us another major volcanic eruption... preferably at least a high-end VEI 6/ low-end VEI 7. I'll be checking the news throughout the evening.

Midnight thunderstorm dumped over 1.5" of rain here. 2.05" for the weekend. 3.65" for June so far.

Really noticed the hazy smoke on the drive from Burtonsville, MD back to Herndon, VA this evening.

Yeah. That cell definitely has a little bit of a supercell appearance on radar.
