    Heading to Frederick this evening for dinner with relatives -- might actually have a chance to see a thunderstorm since I will be out of the damn dome I live under. Haven't cut the grass in weeks.

    I got off the MARC train at the Germantown station just after 6:00 to a heavy, wind-blown downpour that soaked me from the waist down, despite an umbrella. I get home to the Milestone Microdesert to blazing sun and dry, dusty ground. This place is just unbelievable how it does this over and over. And now of course there's rain heading into Frederick missing to the north. I don't know if it's Sugarloaf blocking stuff or what but this is an absolute weather ****hole.

    I managed to get 0.3 but just 1-2 miles south got over an inch. Ground is still hard as rock.

    Got almost nothing as nice looking cells missed in every direction. Look at this shot! This happens waaaaay too much to be just coincidence. There is something really strange about this spot. I've had ONE thunderstorm this whole summer.

    LWX wised up and lowered rain chances to 40% or less and for scattered storms. My neighbor saw me watering everything last night and asked "aren't we getting rain?" He looked surprised when I said nope, none.

    Man look at poor Greensboro for the last 30 days -- 2 point something. Horrible!

    I have family in northern Calvert – they got a nice thunderstorm Wednesday that was moving north, and a nice one yesterday that was moving south. Now they’re getting that big slug of rain. I just went out and heavily watered my parched gardens. I don’t expect to see a drop here.

    I've been thinking of adding dill, fennel and parsley to my butterfly garden for black swallowtails but haven't tried it yet. I get lots of Monarch caterpillars with the tropical milkweed, and all kinds of butterflies nectar on that stuff. Hummingbirds love it too. Have you seen any black swallowtail caterpillars on the herbs?

    Only 0.2 for me.

    At work in DC a few blocks from Union Station and barely missed the nice-looking cell to my north. Looks like lots of lightning on Radarscope with it. DARN!

    I remember hearing about people on I-70 getting caught from behind by that derecho because it was moving so fast. That is crazy.

    Hope everyone is staying safe amid all the severe weather and flooding. Remain vigilant!

    Alright sun coming back out and it's 77/66. Need to build up come instability.

    Wasn't expecting overcast and light rain at mid-day. Does this impeded severe chances for later today? I am coming out from under my weather blocking shield and going to Gaithersburg for dinner, and am hoping to see a thunderstorm.

    Nice video ge0 - thanks for posting! Hard to believe that's so close -- I am just N of the intersection of 355 and Rt 27 and got 0.15 of rain and nothing else. Clarksburg just as close to my north got a strong storm too. This spot and Stephens City are uncanny.

    Are you there? What part? I am 2 mile NE Germantown in the Milestone area, and have whiffed on everything again. Saw purple on radar 2-3 miles north from one cell, then 2 miles south with this one. Got nothing more than a brief shower. I'm curious to know what those storms were like in Germantown and Gaithersburg - they looked wild on radar.
  17. BlizzardNole
    Bwahaha now that's Damascus for you!
  18. BlizzardNole
    My bar is 0.3 of rain. Anything else, lightning etc., is gravy.
  19. BlizzardNole
    Missed both rounds, got about 0.1 from a light shower. Just 0.6 since May 13.
  20. BlizzardNole
    Well that escalated quickly. Nice looking hook on that storm in FredCo.

    Just drove from Calvert back to Germantown and saw quite the lightning show to the N and E. Not a drop for the drive though. While in Calvert this afternoon, I watched three storms train just 2-4 miles north of us over about an hour. It was nice because we were able to sit out and enjoy mid 70s and a breeze instead of 90 like we had dreaded. When we drove through Dunkirk (northern Calvert) on the way back, there was a thick fog hanging in the trees like a rainforest. They must have really gotten drenched.

    Nice thunderstorm in Germantown -- about 0.42 in 15 minutes, lots of lightning, and a brief gust to 45-50. Sun is back out and the air is fresh.
  23. BlizzardNole
    Nice pictures! What's that in the fourth one? I don't see it in the third.
  24. BlizzardNole
    Don't have my rain gauge out yet but man we must have gotten about 2 inches. Got the daughter and one other kid at the bus stop because it was hitting hard right then and there was some lightning. I was surprised to see how many kids had no umbrellas.
  25. BlizzardNole
    LOL. A whole week of build-up to this "severe" event. Not even a single rumble of thunder.
