At least they're playing golf again at Caves Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRONG. It split in two an I have missed out again except for that 5-minute shower that was probably 0.10. I sucks having a garden hobby living in a micro-climate desert. I can really not remember a stretch of summers like we've had recently where we can't buy an afternoon thunderstorm. Of course this afternoon's not over...

Someone in this area must have angered the rain gods somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Just SICKENING. Strong line consolidating to my south now. Ended up with less than 0.20 and we're done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Case in point, there is a line now that looks like it will hit DC but the storms seem to be sliding more south than southeast. THere's a break in the line of storms that continue up in Baltimore. I may have a better chance of having that break in the line go over me than a storm. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodhokie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Nothing like watching the DC split happen in slow motion and now I'm tasked with either staying at work to watch the storm or going home and getting nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, its looking ok for DC right now. Not sure we are going to get split. Not the brunt of the action but I'm guessing it'll storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Got a gust to 41 at home which is really solid in the leafed-out summer foliage conditions. Probably means we were around 50 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Line is moving east southeast which means I'll do very well today in the rain department, I should total out around an octillionth of an inch. That's a record for Dale City on this date. Its a good thing I am drying out again - might have to throw a keg party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I love crazy high dewpoint day storms. The least little thing blows pops a storm. A little outflow boundary just west of me just exploded a nice storm. Lots of lightening moving my way. Woohoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 What really stands out about this one is the visibility. Looks like a whipping snowstorm out there. 0.76" and a 20 degree drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
