ThePhotoGuy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 A couple cloud to ground strikes over the water. Short period of pea sized hail in the moderate to heavy rains. No real winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdwxtog Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am surprised the AA county storm went severe. Here in Glen Burnie, we did have heavy rain for about 4 to 5 minutes and some lightning, but no real wind to speak of and no hail. Caught one good photo of a lightning strike, but was not that impressed. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not terribly impressed.. we'll see. We currently have some cin in the mixed layer, on days like this we need a good trigger. Though some stuff did roll through y-day. I think in this case we might need to get into evening to try to erode some capping. Oops... and not bad. 2011 the new 2008?

Kmlwx Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I wish I remembered that storm. I don't remember it at all. There were several very nice event days - best was June 4, 2008. Check the original few posts in the thread for some info about it - The one thing that I cannot remember no matter how much I try is where I was that day. I walked to HS and I can't figure out how I got from school to home that day without getting rained on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sterling skipped over a few hours worth of observations at BWI? http://www.erh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KBWI.html They have the rainfall total listed for the 2nd storm but not the first one. I'm curious what the total was for the first one, as we had super heavy rain here, but only for about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Whiff to the N, whiff to the S. Not a drop today, but at least some lightning around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Have been seeing lightning since dusk off to the South, with no thunder or storms near by. Am guessing it is from the storms 40 miles to the South of us as that is all I see on radar. I remember when I was young being told it was heat lightning.

WxUSAF Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Have to be pushing 1" of rain IMBY for the last 24 hours. Rained steadily last night for awhile in addition to the 3-4 separate boomers we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was driving south on the Beltway, coming into Tyson's Corner, at around 8:15 last night. I wish to God that I'd had a camera on me, because the view of the lit-up buildings in Tyson's in the foreground of what looked like the end of the world to the south was pretty amazing. Ended up getting home just after that storm had pulled through (I believe Burke just grazed the north edge), but got more heavy rain and thunder/lightning only an hour or so later. I actually had standing water in one section of my lawn...and my lawn drains really well. I also saw some really cool circular clouds as we came out of the Harbor Tunnel and were driving south on 95 at around 7:15 or so. There what looked like three or four concentric "rings" of clouds, and one cloud that stuck out diagionally from everything else - looked like it was pointing from the southeast to northwest. I'm not too sure on that, but it was cool. There were also two nice cloud-ground strikes on the far eastern edge of those "ring clouds." Probably hit a mile or two away on the east side of 95. I'd be curious to know what kind of clouds those were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
