  1. Here it comes the corn dust I discussed recently ate up the light stuff which moved north and around the beltway circle. Corn dust is limited to turning light rain or snow to nothing or moderate to light. Once the precip is solid moderate or stronger the the dust has no effects
  2. So IAD 0.7 then DCA. 0.14 then BWI 1.35” Following this one time would not mean much but I see it 30 times per year starting about 15 years ago when ethanol became so prevalent Moderate to the west, weakens right around DC beltway circle, restrengthens when moving east and north . It’s most prevalent in summer and winter and not fall or spring. A unified cold front in the summer is not so effected. Just make scrupulous observations from now thru end of February and get back to me.
  3. We are the ethanol using capital of the USA. Corn dust. So far today BWI has 1.2”. Let’s see what DCA reports. You can see the storms increasing in intensity again as they exit Dc and move north and east and it’s not the first time . I watch the weather all seasons and only a few here do that. You asked a good question so thanks. That’s vastly different that the 1-2 here who feel compelled to chime in and “set me straight” . Some need to get off the company bus and learn to be open minded and look at things. Again, thanks for the good question. My answer may not datisfy you and certainly won’t a few others who overestimate their empowerment
  4. Anecdotal kinda useless. Yet another heavy solid rain mass approached DC beltway and immediately decreased in intensity Hell from PA to Richmond the DC metro took the lightest hit. Sometimes you just have to observe for a long period of time and multiple events and formulate an opinion rather than defaulting to textbook “oh that can’t be so”
  5. More and more does the corn dust circle around DC proper display itself pouring just started in Kemp Mill
  6. I think this batch gets us and winds are switching back and forth from west to east and repeat at20-25 mph
  7. I got into one of those 1.2” in 20 minutes 4/5 days ago and it’s memorable
  8. I think 75% of the areas within 2 miles of me have gotten solid rain but nothing right here
  9. 0.0 here .65 in Kensington 1.7 miles to west
  10. Poured in Kensington over by Plyers Mill and Connecticut but zero here in Kemp Mill
  11. Some sharp strikes close and very loud thunder. About 1-2 miles to my south us the worst
  12. Thunder within 10 seconds of lightning.
  13. It’s dead calm I’m not a big storm lover so i got an uneasy feeling
  14. Reds to the west moving east
  15. I had a lot of blow off drift over but no rain here since early morning
  16. I got pounded three times in 2010 with 70+ gusts and have not reached 70 since. Even derecho was 60-65. Lots of tree damage with first one in 2010 . and Kenny wasn’t that late June ? one where Brookside Gardens had 90moh gusts? There was a plaque over there about it at one time
  17. It was a sweat lodge outside 2-4pm pulling weeds . 100 heat index and that’s shade. How many quarts did we lose out there?
  18. Man and you are not that far from me snd it was a deluge
  19. That was wild in Kensington today. Appears there was rotation. Several TV stations have shown 2.3” and I dealt with a lot of that over 30 minutes.
  20. 60+ Dbz when it passed over me. will be interesting rainfall reports.
  21. Rain was nuts at Westfield then eased up, stopped so drove home and got home 3 miles to east and it started back up with a little hail and three close by lightning hits
  22. Hey Kenney that’s a top 10 all time downpour for me 1.5” in 20 minutes and could not get back to my car at Giant Westfields because lot underwater. How about you?
