Out in Canaan Valley this week Perseid hunting. Haven't seen any Perseid's this year but some absolutely fantastic storms came through last night beginning around 1AM. Very electrical w/ pouring rain, little to no wind. Perfect for enjoying on the porch! Looking forward to more later today.

As as casual follower, I am trying to understand what I'm to infer from this? An environment with low wind shear more favorable to development or tracking of a storm near to us?

I would love to see those storms up north drift down to Frederick tonight. Maybe we'll get a nice light show at least.

Yeah the lighting last night was absolutely amazing. That was the most charged storm that I can recall in past couple of years. Lots of close strikes downtown here.

Looks like Frederick about to finally get in on this.

Saw some really nice cloud to ground strikes from Frederick looking west towards the approaching storms!

Man you called it, that cell just blossomed over Urbana heading NW and it's pouring downtown again.

Yeah that was an aggressive downpour. Sitting outside my third floor apt, and you could hear the roar of the downpour hitting the metal rooftops as it approached. I expected hail, but just rain.

Nothing in Frederick so far. Looking at the radar, it's hard to project any precip making it up this way. WWA seems a bit unnecessary at this point.

Well I love this term thanks!

Just a lurker, but 1) love stormtrackers p-b-p, 2) seems futile to open a thread before an advisory/watch is clearly imminent.

Really hoping for some precipitation soon, but my what an unbelievably tranquil Autumn!

Man I was taking a walk on the west side of frederick city by Hood College and thought the sky was a little too reddish to the north. Not seeing anything now from my third floor apt though.

The low level, fast moving clouds are gorgeous tonight, along with the cooler air.

Hope Debbie is out of here by Sunday, heading to Canaan to do some Perseid watching...
