Definitely some high cloud tops out there
-
this is when i'd like to have a rain gauge, but i would say an inch+ was very possible here.
-
yea the sky here had that severe weather tint to it
-
healthy... https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=ne&band=08&length=12

highly successful summer-like storm. torrents and some bangers. not a lot of wind here, but these generally overperformed.
-
now we're talkin'...
-
think we'll be in and out of the clouds until gametime. hopefully enough fuel to keep the line going. there's some lightning with just about the entire line.
-
i like that there's already sun (first checkbox) and i like that the airmass is a little stagnant (light breeze). i don't hate our chances for pop ups later...hopefully it won't be too hit/miss.
-
This next line has more electricity than the earlier one.
-
the hrrrrrrrrr has some activity moving through starting around 3-4pm. we shall see...
-
forecasts for sun vs clouds has always been notoriously bad here, so i'm not too surprised. i don't like that there's a breeze right now...always prefer a stagnant airmass for severe chances. just hunch forecasting without science behind it.
-
Today has sneaky potential. Plenty of sun out now.
-
was in harrisonburg last night for a graduation ceremony, which ended up getting postponed midway through due to the incoming storms. we were on the south side of the main line, but still got some breeze, torrents, and a couple of legitimate lightning strikes. drove home too late to catch the stuff as it made its way further east, but that's 2 decent storms in a week for me in early may.
-
i didn't measure, but i gotta think it was 1" here. rockville is close by. it was a south florida style gully washer.
-
i think it is for me so far. had a little bit of lightning. if that was better it would be a tough one to top for the rest of the year tbh.
-
this was a classic summer-like tstorm. great daytime heating, some of which we didn't have with the other recent busts. i'm a little disappointed that i missed the lightning core, but the lightning radar is lit up to the east now. i can even here the rumbles off in the distance.
-
Absolute torrential downpour here. Top shelf in that department. Premium in gusts. I think I missed the lightning core but best storm of the season for me so far.
-
Decent little gust front through Potomac just now. Torrent should be next
-
It’s about to get serious here
-
i think it's a wrap for severe for the western crew. just showers and cooler temps now. looking interesting further east though.
-
Good soaker here, some thunder and lightning, not much in the way of wind so far.
-
Healthy lightning strike just now. Best one of the year so far.
-
boomers here. it's official.
-
looks like these storms have some electricity as well. more so with the cells back towards reston.
-
we do sunshine before storms fairly well here (similar to the sunshine we get instead of the digital snow we get 5 days out), so i'm in.
