GATECH

Couldn’t pull up the TDWRs, rotation was broad out of KDOX. That storm produced no wind at the surface, my max wind gust was 5mph for the same storm.

Registered 2000 lightening strikes within 25 miles of the house here in the last 45 minutes. This storm is certainly electric!

…doing Yoda’s job tonight

Tor warning in PG county just across the river from Mount Vernon. No wind here with the storm, same storm battering us with constant lightening…about 2 miles away

Most intense lightening display of the year here. House shock so bad a picture frame fell off the wall…first time that has happened since the earthquake!

.91 today, total for first 5 days of August 3.5” Yet somehow all my grass in the backyard has died. Weakened by the heat then some fungus probably killed it when too wet

Outflow boundaries from the Maryland storm and the one down by fredriksburg about to collide…could be fun!

I thought the same thing about my pws,but the similar obs in there area definitely lend credence to it being legit. What I don’t understand is I am close to the river (less than 300 yards) not exactly an urban area, lots of big mature trees, and yet still hit 106! Here is my run over the last 4 days. July 1-103 July 2- 105 Max HI of 125!!! July 3-104 July 4-106 with all that said, my PWS definitely runs warm in the winter!

just broke my weather station 5 year all time record. 106! Good news though, HI=air temp, so better than July 2 when I had a HI of 125. Finally I can really say…ya, but it’s a dry heat!

Dear god…100, 80 DP!, HI 122!!!

100, dp 78, HI 119!!! F this sh!t

DCA: 98, 100, 104, 100 BWI: 98, 100, 102, 100 IAD: 98, 100, 103, 99 SBY: 98, 100, 101, 100 RIC: 100, 100, 104, 100 Total Rain: 0.15

I am pretty sure the heat will stick to the pavement, no matter the sun angle.

Ugh! No fun! That had to be miserable for her on Friday! As I get older my excitement for severe weather is drastically waning! I only root for snowstorms now!

Yeah spectacular sunset! Brighter to the east, so strange! Reflecting off the storms out that way!

Got rocked. If anyone sees my patio umbrella let me know, last seen flying east towards towards the Potomac river. Large 4” diameter branch from our sweet gum tree currently in the front yard, neighbors basement flooded, all from .82” of rain in about 15 minutes. Wind gust estimated probably over 60mph. Miraculously power remains. @H2O how did you fair, looked more intense over your way.

Gust front no joke! Both umbrellas down.

Hello Afternoon Summer Thunderstorms! Been a long time! Sitting on the deck watching the storms roll in. Hoping for a direct hit, southern end of the line really perked up!

.76 last night, 1.24 for the week! Most precip in a week probably since snowcrete for here!

Just got home, .45 in the bucket! I feel like I just won MegaMillions!

I am going to declare this the nicest day of spring so far. 72, not a cloud in the sky, gentle breeze at times pollen seems nil…perfect!

32 on the dot along the former, and sure to be future tropical shores of the Potomac.

91…the AC purring like a kitten!

Godspeed on your final journey Roger.
