  1. 48 here to start! Look at the messed up reading from Clarksburg, WV -- that would be some serious freezing rain huh LOL
  2. 0.5 total from the storms yesterday. Looks like some decent stratiform rain moving in from the west so hopefully places that missed yesterday get some.
  3. So I got hit pretty good. Not a ton of rain at 0.4, but had some gusts at 50-60. I had some nice 30-inch long by 10-inch tall and wide wood planter pots on my deck bannister that I was sure were heavy enough not to worry about. Nope -- one was blown off and smashed with the plants assassinated. Going on amazon to look for brackets
  4. You'll love it. Radarscope is awesome. I've seen the rain/sleet/snow line in winter storms on that thing and it is very accurate.
  5. That line looks nice and solid now, but I have higher elevations in almost a semicircle to my W all the way around to the NE, and many times these lines break up over me then reform to the east. We'll see...
  6. Couldn't help but to notice this -- NPZ I hope you got a storm at your new place! At 417 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Stephens City, or near Millwood Pike, moving east at 45 mph.
  7. Whew hot one today -- glad we got some coolish coming this week. How 'bout this noon ob from Needles, CA: 117 / DP 19 / Relh 3%
  8. In our area there are certain trees here and there (mainly cherries) that are massively infested with the hissing sounding ones, with everywhere else quiet. There's one house 10 or so doors down from us that has a big tree that is still ear-shattering. They have a nice deck and I bet they're not using it! Meanwhile nice and quiet at our house.
  9. This weather has been awesome, and it looks like we get another shot of this later next week. Thanks Canada!
  10. That Kettering storm was unbelievable. I still remember the date -- July 10, 1978. The hail was tennis ball size and took out all the west-facing windows of people's houses. I remember my dad running from window to window helplessly as they shattered. Everyone got new roofs too. The Orlando storm caused $1,500 damage to my car and some neighborhoods had several inches of hail on the ground.
  11. Yikes -- Warning says trained weather spotters reported quarter sized hail in Baltimore City and the storm has since strengthened.
  12. Haha yup, and silence of loud deck party behind us. Man that was some rain though -- some yards downhill from us had rivers running thru that you could see with the lightning strikes. Best T-Storm for me in a couple years.
  13. Not quite severe but pretty intense -- very heavy rain with lots of lightning, a couple gusts to about 50, and a brief shot of small hail. I always get nervous with hail because it always starts small. I have bad memories of two monster hailstorms in Kettering, MD in 1978 and Orlando, FL in 1992.
  14. Central MoCo cell almost here -- let's see what it does. Neighbors behind us have a loud deck party going on -- they are trying to keep it going under a table umbrella. LOL we'll see...
  15. Good point about the dews. I just spent over an hour sitting out on the deck and it is very comfortable for mid 80s. It just doesn't "feel" thunderstormy.
  16. I don't care about severe but a nighttime thunderstorm loaded with lightning would be fun. That's what I'm hoping for.
  17. I'm thrilled with the 0.9 total which is more than twice what I expected. 1.2 for the month so far. Hoping for some sun to break thru this afternoon
  18. Thanks CAPE, that is excellent! I measured 0.9 and the map looks dead on. I'm amazed at the amounts so close by both west and east.
  19. What is a good site for radar estimate rain accumulations? I used to use the NWS radar but that new one...
  20. Not for my area. I had only 2.5 for May and this puts me at just over 1.0 for June so far. I'd like to see another 0.5 from this but radar looks weak.
  21. The stratiform rain saved us and we've managed a pretty good 0.7. We do OK in this kind of set-up, but cannot depend on thunderstorms. They almost always miss.
  22. Yeah nice week coming up but I wish I got decent rain before. It's been so dry here and got barely anything. Eurojoke with 2-4 inches LOL. Just as bad as it was in winter.
  23. Looks like we're done in Germandesert after a period of light rain that was maybe 0.10. It will be tough to reach the 0.3 for the week that I predicted we would total.
