Storms to my south over and over again. Can't get anything good, we can settle for moderate drought at this point as the nearby creek is about a half foot lower than it usually is.

I'd put money on that weakening and disintegrating before it ever makes it up our way. Or it might die and re-fire eastward in DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just had a pretty loud thunderclap in NE DC near Union Station, even though there's almost nothing on radar (yet). Fun walk to Union Station in a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jac_not_in_dc Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I saw a lightning bolt headed ground-ward right after before that huge boom, which I heard at Franklin Square. The lightning bolt was to the WSW, like, toward the White House, so different from that cell. Still having thunder and lightning at Franklin Square, and dark clouds, but sunshine and no rain.

dailylurker Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 When I went into the dispensary the sky was clear to my NNW. When I came out 15 minutes later i see a big ole tower sitting there. Beautiful structure to these storms. That storm over NW DC is dropping real deal hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
