FXW176 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Decent sound effects from that cell just north of Manassas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just missed on the cell over Arlington. Plenty of thunder that freaked the kids out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Really crackling now. So weird to watch a cell move in from the ESE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hail in Arlington. Not much wind buts lots of lightening and thunder. Sweeeeet. Edit: wow! biggest hail I've seen in quite some time. Maybe nickels? Making some racket off the windows. This is a pretty mean cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Bob, what general area of Arlington? Washington blvd about a quarter mile east of east falls church metro. Lighting is still striking close. Hail has stopped but it's pouring pretty good. Gonna be a nice drive around the beltway later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Dime size hail reported in Falls Church at 5:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Mike Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just over an inch here in Columbia Heights within the past hour. Pretty intense at times with the rain rates...5.49 p/h max. Sump pump humming away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Very cool. I'm no dual-pol expert, but it looks like the 88d picked it up pretty well. It was hard to tell, It looked like a mix of small hail and heavy rain based on the signature but I thought those small hail signals were ground clutter signals poking through the rain since the storm was so close to the radar.

mattie g Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Missed out here (though we scored last night), but some of these cells look nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I inspected the hail. It was unusually clear. Cell must have sucked up some distilled water before dumping it on Arlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Couple rumbles of thunder with light showers in Columbia. Rain's done for now, but still hear thunder. Don't mind missing out on any hail...just bought a car today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Didn't I see this radar last night? 3peat. At least they have a little more movement this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Loop for posterity. Cool. That thing blew up just to my NNE. I got about 30 seconds of huge drops, then stopped on a dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 3peat. At least they have a little more movement this time. Agreed. Typical Frederick split though. Looks like we'll get a couple light showers but main stuff to our east went North and the MoCo stuff went South. The third option is they dissipate before arriving.

mattie g Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Some pretty intense-looking stuff just off to my WSW, but building towards the ENE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 IAD is beating BWI the last couple days 1.86 to 0.02 There are painters at my mom's house in Old Town who live west of the beltway and they keep talking about how the weather is awful and delaying them, even though I keep telling them it hasn't rained here for more than 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Pretty good light show in Leesburg now. Not much thunder though. Core of this storm is ton my east tonight Can't get a direct hit here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Had nice little thunderstorm in New Windsor about 6:00 - 7:00 tonight. Put down some good rains, which should make all the freshly cut lawns spring up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
