2022 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx Thread (General Discussion Etc)
Kmlwx replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Nice consolation prize outflow. One of the more impressive outflows I can remember. As for the storms...looks like it's going about as advertised. Really losing any semblance of a line or storms as the activity comes east. -
Definitely had some punch here in Colesville. Could hear the wind starting to go through the trees as it approached. Given how far we are from the dying storms - I'm pretty impressed with that boundary. Nothing severe - but it put a ton of leaves into the air here.

Also - a lot of the activity to the west of the VA/WV border is likely being aided by terrain. Not sure any of that would exist if the higher elevations weren't there. -

Think our only hope will be if a good enough push of rain cooled air from those storms pushes east and kicks off something closer. If I wasn't a weather enthusiast and looked at this radar - I'd be expecting a pummeling tonight. -

The 18z NAM nest at the 20z frame looks comically different versus reality. -

19z HRRR is a big tease. Kills precip right before it gets to me (and appears to be sub severe well before then). Radar looks really deceivingly good, though to the west. -
Additionally, the record high stats at BWI are such that only 3 days have record maxes below 100. And honestly...even though these are the "new" normals from the new period...we are getting hotter (everyone agrees except for a few). Would anticipate that by the time the next refresh of the "30 year average" data BWI will look more like DCA and DCA will look more like an oven.

We are in the climatologically hottest part of the year. BWIs peak average temp is 89 and runs from July 2-26. You are statistically the most likely to have big heat in that period.

Radar is starting to have that flood threat kind of look with little cells continuing to pop up behind the outflow boundary. -

Outflow is really outrunning the storms now. Well into MoCo (almost to Rockville even). -

It's for the urban areas mainly that have seen pockets of very heavy rainfall lately and are very prone to runoff. A quick 1 to 3 inches of rain from a progressive storm will still cause pockets of urban flooding. It's not for major river flooding in this case. -

Girlfriend got some great pics of the storms as we were driving east on 200 and 32 a little while ago. Will post later -

Ensembles still don't really favor any major east coast ridging. Seems the heat may end up pretty pretty seasonable overall. Still get your point. I'm really crossing my fingers we can make it through climo peak heat without and massive heat dome for our area. Would be a welcome relief. The heat has been really, really tolerable this season so far. I know we can still torch into August and even early September - but at least by the later parts of that period you can get some good cool front pushes with much lower dews. -

CIPS and SPC are not onboard with a Monday threat for now. CIPS is *really* quiet until the 168hr and 312hr time periods. -

PWS lightning count total is around 771 now. Really impressive. We lost power for a few mins but it came back quickly. Was watching that nasty wind core go through PG etc on my tablet. PEPCO outages up to 40K it looks like. -

Deep, booming strikes. VERY dark outside. Strike count up to 291 already now. Insane. -

PWS has detected 200 strikes already - most of those in the past 10 minutes. -

I'm kind of surprised LWX didn't have that warning go a bit further north and east - especially since we tend to get warnings for 50mph storms. -

I think it's more just the rear part of that "seahorse" shape. Don't think it's a down/microburst. -

Kmlwx replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Is that a downburst signature W of Darnestown? Or is that just from the outflow interacting? -

I mean...unless it collapses...I'm liking radar for MBY right now. Yeah..the outflow is right on top of me almost....but radar looks good and almost looks bow echo-ey well into MoCo. -

Big cluster of lightning on the ENTLN data just N of Ashburn and in the area of the river.
