July Discobs 2025

[GramaxRefugee]

I'm surprised we reached 89f before the storm came through. (Probably my max ) Got close to 0.4" 

[CAPE]

Just enough rain to make it more of a steam bath.

A few legit dog days ahead before some blessed relief. Hopefully that cold front delivers with some widespread significant rains, but the latest guidance suggests timing will not be ideal for severe.

Sun is making a return. 81/78

Please please please please let me get under the little train coming this way. 
 

eta that it’s looking like it’ll be the usual this year of sliding just southwest through Catonsville. Just incredibly persistent.

Looks like I could have a round 2 for thunderstorms here from the storms near Dulles airport which were severe warned earlier. Just heard thunder. 

[Herb@MAWS]

Thumping and dumping big time around Columbia. 

[WxUSAF]

About 1”

[frd]

Picked up an additional .30 , that plus last night gives me .94.

Appears another area of storms will drop down from Se PA and NE MD. 

Very active July for sure !

What an explosion of cloud tops over North Central Va., and to a lesser extent of SE PA last 90 minutes

Afternoon gully washer has passed thru. 

So far:  1.66” today, 8.03” for July

[EastCoast NPZ]

And now a miss to the south.   

My grass is done. Again. 

[aldie 22]

1.69 total so far today after this last batch

[J.Mike]

More warnings for Annandale/Alexandria. 

Cool 

[MN Transplant]

That cell really died off as it got to Fairfax Co.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Got 1.46” with that storm, which brings the monthly total to 9.61”

It was an impressive storm with a lot of thunder and lightning, heavy rains and high winds. We lost power briefly for about 15 mins or so, but it’s back on.

Also the temperature dropped about 20 degrees lol

[TowsonTownT]

.86" just now at Towson U according to Mesonet, it came and went in all of 20 minutes.

Approaching 2”. 4 rounds of storms. No more need to water plants!

Ever since I became a homeowner 30 years ago, summer has been by far my least favorite season.

Wow.  I knew that Columbia fared better than I did, but I didn’t realize that the discrepancy was that large. Only 0.28” here.

The last couple storms were definitely focused on eastern HoCo. Quick glance at some PWSs around the area suggests I was the jackzone.

Missed the second round of storms a couple hours ago, but currently looking at another area of heavy rainfall near  Calvert Acres and Fair Hill, MD moving generally SE/ESE. 

 

 

[Jrlg1181]

0.62 earlier , Very strong winds for a couple of minutes... 3 day total of 1.10

Up to 6.16 for the month so far..

Much better by almost 3 inches over June..

Well, the area of heavier storms weakened as it neared this area, but still managed .25 so that brings me to roughly 1.25 " for the last 24 hours. 

I am thinking I will let the grass go for two days, even with temps of 94 and 95 with the expectation of rainfall Wednesday night through early Friday morning. 

Lawn disease and garden blight have been off the charts bad here due to high overnight lows,  and very high dew points. Having the lawn dry out a bit will be a good idea. 

[StormyClearweather]

Wild how the same areas keep getting hit (and not hit) over and over again. I was in the "not hit" camp in June, and know I will be again.

But for today, 2.91" between late last night's/this afternoon's storms, and 9.85" for the month. Feeling pretty good about hitting 10" for the month, which is pretty surprising based on how summers have gone since moving here in 2021.

0 rain in Damascus today. It looked promising on radar for a bit but no such luck.

Hideous

Like Khaki's?

[wxdude64]

Definitely been a 'juicy' summer. IF you can get a storm, you get PLENTY of water. But, if it is a miss or near miss, just makes it more humid (if possible) and absolutely miserable. I picked up another .25" or so in like 5 minutes earlier this afternoon, got another small shower about to move in from NW. 

[SnowenOutThere]

Some fun pictures of clouds from today! Got a cool shelf cloud from the storms that moved into FFX county along with a little cap cloud on some convection and then finished with a nice sunset.
