mattie g Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 0.6". Didn't have the rates that you did, but it lasted a little longer. Yeah...it was here and gone pretty quickly. OK amount of thunder and lightning, too. Nothing big - just a relatively gentle little storm. Perfect amount of rain to help the lawn and garden.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 1.21 at KOKV according to Wundermaps Something weird about that total.. Wxbug shows .65, but the NOAA obs is 1.21. Problem is the last two obs each show 0.28", duplicates of the previous obs. Seems unlikely that 3 consecutive obs showed identical amounts of rain, especially when the latter two obs showed decreasing humidity and increasing temp. Subtract the last two suspect obs and the total equals the .65" shown by Wxbug. Sue Palka's estimated radar (just shown) seems to agree w/ the .65". According to her estimate map, mby got around .20", heavier amounts started right at the 37 interchange in Kernstown and just south of 66 near Front Royal (recurring theme of the summer)..

Bob Chill Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 LW pattern is making a big shift compared to July and first half of Aug. The vortex that was anchored between GL and Hudson most of the summer is progged to consolidate and strengthen in the western regions of the arctic ocean close to Alaska and park for a while. It's going to get hard to get cool dry air in our parts if this verifies. We're going to get lucky and miss the ms valley heatwave with hp building down from ne canada behind the departing ull. Pretty amplified pattern coast to coast through the weekend and short wavelengths for august. Kinda unusual. LR looks kinda muggy to me. Not hot but not comfortable either.

mattie g Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like .85-.90" or so. That's about 1.3"-1.4" in the last couple days. Most evenly distributed rain I've had in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 0.1" here. You got lucky on this one. Really lucky. It's been a long time since I've been hit square by a random cell. There was a decent amount of lightning and a little wind with it, too. A few really close strikes. And it looks like a little more about to start.

WxUSAF Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 BWI's last 90F+ day was July 23rd. 1 month without 90F in summer!! Yesterday was also the first above-normal day at BWI since July 27th. It was 1F above normal. Amazing, amazing run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 1F above normal. Amazing, amazing run. Sure is nice to know we can still pull off a relatively cool summer. The switch flipped July 4th weekend and never let up. A continuation of the winter pattern but better height patterns in the high latitudes to lock the cool in instead of fast progressive. The upper mw has had a crazy below normal year so far through 8 months. No signs of heat coming at all although humid seems to be in the cards for a while. Outstanding summer and my electric bill is proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
