Posted this in the old thread but its dead. Impressive straight-line wind damage the Tuesday night south of me. Apparently a tractor trailer was overturned as well.

From Mount Holly-

0656 PM     Tstm Wnd Dmg     1 SSE Wye Mills         38.93N 76.08W
06/22/2026                   Talbot             MD   NWS Storm Survey

Several thunderstorms crossed through the region on the evening of June 22, 2026. While there were multiple wind damage reports, the most intense path of damage was near Wye Mills to Cordova with a storm that crossed through near 7 PM. Damage was noted beginning along Old Wye Mills Road where multiple trees had been uprooted. A discontinuous path of damage continued towards the southeast. Along Newtown Road, multiple trees were snapped, with an estimated maximum wind speed of 90 to 100 mph, the highest estimated wind speed along the entire path. Near Saulsbury, a center pivot irrigation system was overturned. Damage path continued with additional damage, primarily tree damage, reported along Blades Road and Asches Acres Road.

 

I saw some sporadic tree damage driving through that area yesterday morning headed to work. Most of the major damage was just to the west/NW .

Drove on 662 today south of Wye Mills and there are still trees hanging on the power lines. Tree crews and utilities were still working to clean everything up.

Except this isn’t happening in a vacuum, it’ll be on top of what fell on Tuesday and will be followed by the start of an active storm pattern to kick off July.

Yeah perhaps. We thought Memorial Day was kicking off a rainy pattern as well. I’m generally skeptical we go to a AN precip regime before the fall.

I only need .30” to break 3” for June, but I’m not feeling confident.

And this site is a disaster today. I’d write that in banter if I could get there. :lol:

Yea it's been janky as heck for several days. Wonder if Stormtracker spilled a mint julep or something in the rack?

Mount Holly has really struggled forecasting reasonable rain totals lately. They were too aggressive on Tuesday, and this morning the forecast here was for 1-1.5" total through tomorrow. Given we are in an extreme drought you would think they would be more conservative. Updated forecast is a tenth or less for today, tonight, and tomorrow, 'except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms'. That's what it should have been in the first place, given the modeled scattered nature of the rain, and that drought begets drought (positive feedback loop).
