Wild drive to Baltimore up 95
Lots of green leaf shredding between 198 and 32 and then again around 100. Constant lightning in Balt for half hour and heavy rain
I’ve had three rounds. Probably 2010 last time in a day and really just 7 hour period .
1st round rating :
Rain-10
Hail-8
Lightning-8
Wind-5
Other two round unspectacular thus unrated.
I think it’s not area wide but I’ve got 2.3” on the day.
Your earlier report was much like mine. In the Snowmaggedon 8-10am white out I could not see the house across the street and in the July 2010 extreme thunderstorm I nearly lost sight of it and same extremely low visibility today.
On a line from Bethesda to Wheaton to Silver Spring to Greenbelt looks like isolated 1”+ in 10-15 minutes. That’s equal to lowest visibility ever for me in rain .
I just don’t see any lengthy heat surge in July. This high plains High pressure has visited us 3 times and really has not yet moved southeast and set up as a Bermuda high. It’s going to be quite hot thru Wednesday and then another round of 80-85 highs and 50’s and 60’s lows thru July 4th.
For DC if the scorching pattern has not set up by July 4th then it infrequently does
Yes most of season tonight, I look at same spot for 10 seconds and count and pause 10 sec then repeat two more time. I got 13, 8 and 12 twinkles in each time span .
Area I'm looking at is about 8x8’ and I’m 30 feet away
I was on Harry Truman Dr in Largo and hail was quarter sized and green hue to sky just sickly. Luckily I got my car into a carport.
the house I was visiting had 4 broken windows and shingle damage. The siding was vinyl but many were metal and damaged
