Severe storms 2015 general chatter

[Demeter]

Watching that storm down by EZF

It's a good one, lots of CG. Holy crap, one of those storms with CG so good you jump. Love it

[09-10 analogy]

I see the warnings were for winds up to 70. Not much wind to speak of around here though.

[WVclimo]

Tail end of that line in CPA went just to my west. Great skies. Lots of lightning and thunder

[dailylurker]

Beautiful out here. Sitting outside enjoying a nice 4/20 lightning show. Feels like a summer night. Really enjoying the first storm of the season. Enjoy!

Close to marble size hail here in Spotsy, over an inch of rain and good wind......lots of lightning too

[Ellinwood]

marble size hail

Bad weather weenie. Bad.

[wxmeddler]

Somthing going on around Bowie? BWI TDWR showing +20/-20 gate to gate.

 

Edit: It's gone now.. a little atmospheric accident there for a few minutes.

[smokeybandit]

Lots of T&L  in this cell, but not much else.

[Ian]

Blah.. should have gone to the Mall. Nice high based storm at sunset with tons of CG. I'm sure I'll make the next that falls apart on our doorstep.

[Ian]

oh boy

Didn't think so either, but the dents on the hood of car say otherwise

Some crazy flight patterns around BWI as flights avoid this cell

I was watching the velocities and watched it pop up and get going for about 5 minutes. It was just to my west. I have a great screen grab of it. Wish I could post it.

[Ian]

That NE md warning is generous

I had quoted that because marble-sized can mean different sizes, since marbles are different sizes. However, I went back and double-checked the SPC definitions, and it does have marble for 0.5", so my bad. Some NWS WFOs don't like it when people report marble-sized, though.

LWX doesn't want any reports of marble size hail

[Ian]

NWS as a whole has said that. I think the SPC page is old.

[snowfan]

oh boy

He seems like a cool dude, but he weenies out w that stuff every year.

[snowfan]

Constant lightning. Downpour. No hail. River running down the sidewalk.

Yeah we has a 'falling out' over something similar. Some mets are the worst when it comes to accurately identifying stuff.

[Ian]

Still getting some solid lightning here at home

Picked back up lately. Stratiform positive strikes?

[Kay]

Plenty of thunder, lightning, and rain underway. Not much wind with it.

[yoda]

So next chance for storms Wed afternoon?

[snowfan]

There are like a million lightning pics on twitter tonight. Kinda jealous...but too tired to go out.

[T. August]

Really? Lol I just had a 57 MPH (not 58 ) gust and was getting legit hail (less than 1") with crazy lightning.

[high risk]

  or in a couple of hours??

 

  HRRR brings another batch through, and radar is starting to light up again to the west and southwest.    Seems like atmosphere should be worked over, but better forcing is arriving.

He says he has video, so we'll see. That storm was pretty impressive and stuff along the bay likes to accident into something.. the other was crap but it's possible it did something over water I guess. 

 

Also, no one does enhanced like us!
