From my view south from Columbia, it looks like a really good electrical storm toward Laurel and Burtonsvillle. Lightning is even intense here. Looks like I could miss by a little, unless it builds northward a bit.
Maybe the wording will come back but I noticed all mention of rain tonite was removed from my local (Columbia) NWS forecast, at least during the 1pm hour text forecast.
Looks like some broken low storm-like clouds and distant thunder moving in FROM the NE. Some light rain fell for 15 mins but nothing unusual. Sun in western sky still slightly popping through broken overcast.
Brighter to my west. Temps down to low 80s now after 90.9° today.
0.23” so far.
And now, big healthy boom coming from my NW - N. Just checked radar. Big cell centered from Granite to Ellicott City located just to my north.
These types of things often seem to fizzle/“miss/disappoint me. But I’m feeling it — for something in next 30-45 mins.
