Stormpc Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 1st storm ended. Dropped 1.4 of rain. Still lots of lightning and thunder both north and south. My sump pump usually goes on after or during a heavy shower several times. It has been so dry down to the crust here my pump never turned on so far.

And my high was 87. That is quite a spread over 60 miles in an otherwise homogenous air mass. There was some kind of front between us obviously. I am now sitting at 70 after the storms and 1.25".

Bob Chill Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Excellent pics ITT tonight. Thanks folks. It's been a surprisingly active day. Didn't see it coming but it's been pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Pretty good storm. One of the best this year as far as T&L. Approaching 1" rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Cluster of lightning moving right towards me. Hope to feel some house rattling booms. It seemed like the NAM hinted at activity earlier this morning. Glad it produced. Think you just got rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Closing in on 1.5", most of which fell in about 15-20 minutes. Still coming down, but just at a light/moderate clip. There was a s**t ton of lightning and thunder with this. Pretty fun. Should really help the AC cool the house better this evening. HUGE win!!!

But I don't see much of a reason most of us west of say a line from Haymarket up to Gaithersburg or so shouldn't get heavy rain and storms again. Yeah it diminished as it moved into already sapped air mass north of Beltway but still a good rainer but much less wind and t&l looks like downtown proper got pounded though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Could be a prolonged period of steady rain overnight. The severe stuff is fun but a long, soaking rain is just what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 was driving on md200 when that nasty cell was moving through around 5-6pm. easily a top ten storm for me. basically as strong of a storm as you'll see around here from a rain and lightning standpoint.

Best of the year for me for sure. The cool part was it wasn't a radar long track. It just blew up just to the west and on top. Prob a finale for the year. Odds are against a better storm in my yard this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are against a better storm is in the cards this year. it was crazy. i pulled over to try to take vid, but my iphone 5 (not 5s, just 5 from almost 4 years ago lol) battery is horrible now (missing a pin on the port) so i had to keep plugging it in. it was a disaster. anyway, it would have been a great photo/vid opportunity. ah well. it literally felt like driving through a storm out of the movies. i would say top ten all time thunderstorm for me. the one a month or so ago that came down 270 through dc was nasty too. this one might have been worse.

Jebman Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Dale City got annihilated. We picked up 2-3 inches of rain. We badly needed it. Look out next month and October when numerous tropical entities move NE along fronts. We are in for a VERY rainy fall and we will be scrambling to keep up with mowing our lawns. Remember Fall 1995? September will be VERY warm, even outright HOT, into early October with a lot of humidity and lots of rains. Let's hope we dont get Louisiana'd.

Jebman Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have a question for reputable mets such as Bob Chill. We may have a weak Nina similar to late 1995/early 1996. Could it happen again? Might we have a weak Nina again and end up with a reprise of the memorable 1995/1996 winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
