Lost power for 30 seconds and came back on, hallelujah! Spared after being hit during the heat wave. Over an inch of rain so far today. Plentiful T/L. Noisy. This is like a "if you enjoy the sound of summer thunder" line. Sound machine-worthy, classic.

Same here. And now the Bel Air cell descending my way.

Missing to the north but plenty of lightning in the area. Ears popping.

The AWOSs for KAPG and KEDG used to be available for public viewing. Not sure what happened.

Idk. But here's what I see pretty much every day, year after year, so maybe LWX could consider a change. May as well show us KMTN.

It's not 100% though, sometimes it'll just up and show the temp etc lol.

That pic was the last minute of sun. No thunder or lightning nearby. Wind, though. Here comes a wall of rain.

As @wxmeddler noted the other day, the real tragedy is KMTN rain gauge failing.

I missed that!

Which reminds me of my semi-annual rant, really more about temps, KAPG is the worst. It seems like the sensor is always N/A (not literally but close). Years and years.

1" yesterday here in swampland.

Baltimore storms getting a little feisty over Middle River, I hear the thunder

Splitsville on that last batch of storms, we'll see about these new ones moving NE through Balt.

Relying on nearby stations...mby received about 6" rain in July, approaching 2" Aug to date.

New AQ alert levels for MD.

There it is. Yuck. "Very unhealthy for the general population"

I remember a tire smell here in 2023. Revolting out. Hope everyone can stay in as much as life permits.

Getting dark early like a fall day. 

It's pretty smoky locally. My throat feels scratchy.

Wonder if those two boundaries over Montgomery/Howard will do anything today?

Posted up in Columbia for the day and night, remaining vigilant

Power restored yesterday mid-day or so. In the evening I went past a long line of utility trucks along route 40, where I had posted earlier about a mile + stretch of poles that were mangled in one way or another, and they were getting toward the end of it.

Oh man, storms coming for this area againnn but hopefully the most intense keeps SE. Route 40 power lines can't take anymore lol.

high in the low 80s tomorrow sounds mighty good to me

Omg, I’m sorry…terrible timing given the heat.

Thank you. But also - I did it. I checked into a hotel. It is full of local people like me doing the same thing.
