I'm in DC and hoping for a big one to hit here this afternoon (just not at 5 PM LOL). Looks like some training setting up in Southern FredCo. Looks like home is getting hit again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 4 minutes ago, mattie g said: So...what do you think, yoda? We gonna get missed again? I don't think so. The activity in MD has kicked off a long lived outflow boundary that just pressed south of I-66 in VA. As that boundary moves through it's kicking the storms up. You should see an uptick over the next hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 healthy deluge, but nothing like yesterday's hurricane-like downpours. i don't recall seeing it rain that much in a 45 minute period before. the 270 split has done pretty well with storms this year.
