WhiteoutMD Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Everyone west of 95 do you smell pine in the air. That was a telltale sign when the deracho was approaching. The smell was in the air well before the storms hit my location. Anyone experiencing that yet?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucketts Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Thunderstorm has developed before the line and we’ve got it all. Thunder, lightning, heavy rain, wind, flickering power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex95 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Radar looks "meaty." Not only the SQLN but discrete cells forming just ahead. It does not look like it is gusting out yet which is good. I like the CU streaks on the VIS over the DC area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Some useful terms for everyone to remember: MCC = Mesoscale Convective Complex (a specific type of MCS) MCS = Mesoscale Convective System (of which a derecho is one type of MCS). Derecho = a very intense MCS with damaging wind (long track and wide swath) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derecho = a very intense MCS with damaging wind (long track and wide swath) The only difference from an MCS and MCS is the extent, duration, and eccentricity of the very cold cloud top canopy. As for sensible wx, the both can produce high-end svr wx and unreal LTG displays! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 You all look like you're in for a good MCS today. I'm out in Madison WI for the week so I'll miss it but hoping everyone can cash in on some widespread rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Interestingly, 5 years to the day of the strongest storm in decades (including the Derecho) in my neighborhood. August can deliver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
