SnowenOutThere

Have had some moderate rain for about 3 ish hours here I would think but starting to lighten up.

Had a storm form right over me just south of Reston and got half an inch of rain according to my probably messed up weather station in the 10 minutes the storm lasted. Rained super hard and it was pretty cool watching a cloud form over you then just dump rain. No thunder or lightning whatsoever.

Replace east with west and you have where the convective band sets up with every winter storm.

Could you pass some of that over here, I have not had any rain all week.

The best part about this storm is that the second it left the general thunder storm and went to the marginal zone the storms formed a line and intensified.

Man this is a textbook example of a DC split, which I can say I am part of.

Tell us what its like! Any hail?

Cell over Winchester looking a bit scary

Seems like something is trying to form. On visible it almost looks like a hook echo is trying to form.

Yeah, well its no match for the RGEM Fairfax county jackpot tomorrow.

Agreed

Only CAT5?

Wait, the 3k Nam has the DC split on Friday, we all know that means it is going to happen.

I'm getting flashbacks to this winter

Latest 3km Nam looking barely any convection, I am not smart enough to know why this happens but it looks bad.

Is it too predictable to make a lock it in joke?

You know you could of told us to get popcorn because that was a popcorn worthy short story.

I went to the pool earlier it was warmer in the pool than outside, I don't know how to feel about that.

0.64'' for my the first round here got it all in 20 ish minutes super close to nothing though, the area 10 miles west got missed by both areas.

Did Dulles just get dry slotted?

It had around three total frames of an actual couplet

Sun out temp 73 and 63 percent humidity at my location, when will we know if the warm front has made it up to us?

Don't want to be that person but what happened that day? Did we actually get storms or did it bust?

It was crazy! I would say that the shelf cloud developed as it moved over and approached me, at first it was sort of like a shelf cloud when I first say it looking down the street. Then when I could see the cloud my neighborhood as it broke the tree line 10 minutes it looked more impressive and then just went from there to a proper shelf cloud as it came closer. That combined with the crazy orange sky behind it with flashes of lightning as the sun set makes it one of favorite weather events in a while. The light show was incredible and the wind was pretty good but the main thing was the lightning I just kept going. I also picked up 1.2 inches of rain which was the main thing I wanted/needed from yesterday so overall great day.

Yep it even has a 2 percent for tornados, after looking at the Nam(s) it would seem we would get imbedded storms in an overall rainy environment.
