@Eskimo Joe any idea what it gusted to up my way? Winds gusted pretty strongly briefly with a torrential downpour then power went out

My last WX station report was 3:57 pm. Guess I should leave work and check the sump pump battery backup.

Had to clear my driveway with a chainsaw.

Power didn’t come back until after 6. It’s a mess up here. Lot of trees down. 

Probably more microburst than rotation. Also one of my besties sent me this image bc I guess you posted on FB in the Hereford group and she saw it and asked me if it was a tornado lol. Hope your house is ok! 

Our house was not damaged. Had a few big branches fall but all trees stayed up, unlike neighbors. Thanks for asking. Glad you also fared well.

Roads closed and many trees down in north baltimore county. The H on the radar is my home. Does the red velocity indicate rotation or a downburst? I do not see a bright green next to it. The red followed the storm at least a mile.

This right here had me bust out laughing in front of my wife. Wtf kind of output is this BS?

Know that the ECMWF showed a similar result two days ago

You can tell who's new around here by how shocked they are that a phasing storm this far away disappears on the models from one run to the next.

I am counting on the ECMWF ice on the 25th to disappear.

I know hr 384 of the GFS is totally unreliable.

It is interesting how Google Maps kept directing us away from well established delays as we drove from VA to N Md, only to steer us through every developing, heavy rain event along the route. Not the safest choice as we saw a very recient accident about every 5 miles for a considerable part of the journey.

Slight risk area update.

12 hours driving each way was worth the 4 minutes of totality. I took this picture using a Samsung S24 Ultra from Sweetwater lake, Indiana. The best description is that it looked freekey, like a hole in the sky.

Sunspot AR3590 is capable of sending us a large CME. https://spaceweather.com/

Why does the GFS keep teasing us with day 14+ snow? It’s been at this for weeks!

The GFS has developed self-awareness and is messing with us.

That heavy rain came together on top of me. Still raining hard! 1.64 inches so far!! That line looks so intense! 

 

We lost power when that high intensity line passed overhead. That radar image is quite unusual.

Rotation went just to my south when it was in Balt Co, was surprised it didn’t have a warning on it sooner to be honest

Nada today. 

Radar shows something small and soon.

I am grateful that the rain held off enough for me to get 7 more rows of corn planted tonight. Hoping it is not too late. The 50 tomato plants are doing well.

Woo .37” today

I measured 0.27 so maybe I need to clean out the rain collector on the WX station.

I plan to use one later if I have to water. 

It is amazing how much the N95 really helps. I just moved a pile of firewood and had no problems breathing with the smoke/odor except for the burning eyes.

crispy out there. last measurable rainfall was 5/20 with .08, before that 5/13 with .28

My veg gardens are as loose and dry as the surface of a sand dune and they are too big to water using our well.

 Some of us may see smoke from a wildfire in NC Saturday morning.

I tilled my 100'x24' garden today. The soil was more dry than I ever remember for this time in the spring. At least the soil, now tilled can retain more rain as it occurs. With this prelude, I am wondering what is in store for us this summer.
