gymengineer Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Drought will be the least of our worries when Danny track the bay and stalls. I know these are just tongue-in-cheek comments about the bay track, but the up-the-bay track does happen. A classic storm for our area took that track and even moved quite slowly for a tropical system at our latitude. Connie dumped lots of rain and gave us a prolonged period of tropical storm force gusts (peaking at 58 mph at DCA) that started the day before the center's closest approach (the highest wind gusts happened before the closest approach while Connie was stronger). It was a big-deal disruption for the area, with high water rescues in PG County and widespread power outages, and people stopped to prepare for the hurricane given what Hazel did the year before. Danielle '92 came pretty close to this track as well, making landfall as a strong TS: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windman18 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Tropics coming alive behind Danny as well. Who knows, we might even have a whole train of systems to track by late next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'd give a lot to see a repeat of something like Connie. I saw a program a little while ago (I think it was on Discovery) that described the worst-case hurricane scenarios for various gulf & east coast cities. For DC, it was a Category 4 storm pulled NW by a negatively tilted trough, with a track through the mouth of the Bay, over the Tidal Potomac just SW of the city.

StudentOfClimatology Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I need to see this show. Link me. I've been trying to find it again myself but I don't remember the title.

dailylurker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It really is. I was able to take a long walk today and run around this evening. I can't wait for fall now. We are almost there!Absolutely. I love fall. Late summer is interesting, too. I've always had a deep fascination with tropical systems. Almost as much as Ragging coastal blizzards. Those are my absolute favorite lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Here in Oak Hill I've had 0.01" on the 18th, 0.39" on the 19th and 0.22" on the 20th for a 3-day total of a whopping 0.62". Ugh. Monthly total is 0.94" for August. That's nice... by Elko standards. But I was sure I'd moved away from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Slept W The windows open. Almost chilly in the house this am. Won't be long before upper 50s are upper 40s. Less than 3 weeks til the avg hi at bwi is below 80. And the start of a 4 month stretch where avg hi temps drop 10 deg per month. So long summer.
