Just for my own entertainment I hope that red/magenta pulse makes it's way to Frederick. Love to see some torrential rain before the beautiful day tomorrow!

Nice finale for Frederick as that streaming band moves in. Roads and vehicles turning white again :)

Doug Hill was my dude when I was a kid (even in the Valley we got WUSA9).  Now we probably watch the other Doug the most - although still like Topper.

Yeah as kid, (and I have no idea if this was even true or not now that I'm in my forties), but it seemed like he always had a more serious demeanor which for some reason just jived with how seriously I took the weather But I also miss the days of minimalist local on the 8's weather forecasts...

I just happened to catch this last night in Frederick, and it was definitely one of the most dramatic, long lasting meteors I've seen.

Frederick may see two showers in one night!

Loving the humidity and cicada's this week. A really enjoyable and tranquil late summer period we're in.

Looks like it mostly skips over the recently constructed rain shield around downtown Frederick and reorganizes in time for points east.

Yeah would love to see some rain here in Frederick, with some thunder too. We've really been shorted so far this summer.

I can only assume this was posted to show the green pollen cloud visible from space????

Really just banter but this would be such a wonderful way to end this winter. Early Red Buds and Magnolias popping against a backdrop of white. Bringit.

Flurries in Frederick!

For the past ten minutes or so, the heaviest heaviest rain since Friday evening is falling.

i think there were at least realistically 50mph gusts at peak here, maybe higher.  hard to tell from inside, but it this was a patio chair mover.  only thing missing was hail.

This is my favorite storm so far this year, at least for daytime. Really nice wind driven heavy rain with decent, but not over-the-top lighting+thunder. [pretty intense flash just now as I type though]

I’m putting this winter as a B-, saved in Frederick by two decent storms. This is a relative grade compared to the last 2 winters. It’s my first time living up here and I’m just glad it actually snowed. Realistically, it’s probably a C+. One more warning level snowfall and it’s a solid B.

 

 

I've been here all my life of 42 years. There's a great deal of variation across the county due to the terrain, but I can't go above a C unless downtown sees a 6 inch storm. Hasn't happened yet this year though.

-> Interjection:

I know HECS = Historic ECS, but what do the remaining acronyms expand to: (BECS MECS (Major?) etc?

The lightning show to the west of Frederick, prior to the storm being overhead, had to be the best of the year. Just fantastic. A mean looking storm too.

Getting a random downpour from that Frederick cell rolling over gambrill/watershed. No lightning tho. Little bit of wind.

Yeah that was an amazing downpour. Was at the garden center of Lowes on the north side of town when it started. I had just noticed the deep orange moon rising when it suddenly just started pouring overhead. For about five minutes it was a deluge, yet the sky to the east was clear enough for the moon to be totally visible. It was a little surreal and just gorgeous.

What’s with the hole over Frederick?

LOL that's what I was wondering!

Once I saw middle aged people dying of it and even younger,  weeks ago it got my attention real quick and realized it was something much more than "just the flu". How many middle aged people that are generally healthy do you see die from the flu? I dont know anyone.

This happened to a Frederick resident, and granted they were somewhat well known, it made the newspaper.

My phone just got tornado warned.. downtown FDK

Sat out the Frederick storm in my car downtown, just coming back from a hike. Strong gusty winds, sheets of rain, and towards the end just a few pings of hail on the windshield. Followed by a rainbow to the east. Nice little storm.

Partly Sunny and Snow Flurries in FDK April 1st.

Oh my here's we go again, deploying the tarps at home in FDK!

Market St in Frederick

Also my poor likely flooded basement....
