Had to make a call about going to Hershey today, smoke looks to start clearing up there midday and storms not until way later, so we’re going. Have fun, check out the road runners in the zoo!

dailylurker Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I'm about 3 miles into my hike here in Crownsville. When i first started about 80 minutes ago I could smell it and it looked nasty. Now the sun is breaking out and the smoke is thinning out. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Not at home but heard my Capital Weather lightning detected near my location go off this morning at 4:15. Looked at radar to see my house getting hit with a very nice robust cell followed by another one. Picked up .61” from that early morning round.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Today is my first day off in almost a month. I've got a Lord of the Rings concert in Baltimore tonight, and we're getting wings at the Dive beforehand. Naturally, we're staring at a busy weather day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's another concert at Ravens stadium tonight and that could get interesting with big t-storms. 85/78 here with the blue sky starting to show with southerly winds pushing the smoke out.

WxUSAF Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Second heavy rain meso issued by WPC Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0766 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1128 AM EDT Sat Jul 18 2026 Areas affected...portions of the coastal Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 181528Z - 182128Z Summary...A couple rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall are expected into late this afternoon. Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" are possible, which could lead to flash flooding in urban areas. Discussion...A thermal boundary extends through portions of the Mid-Atlantic States. Near the boundary, showers and thunderstorms are showing some slight backbuilding character while moving northeast into New York City. Precipitable water values are 1.4-2". MU CAPE is 500-5000 J/kg across the region, with the maximum on the Eastern Shore. Effective bulk shear is ~40 kts. One bout of heavy rainfall in the very near term is expected across southeast NY and portions of CT, while later development is expected to the southwest which should ride up the boundary back into the Tri-State area. Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" are possible either from backbuilding, cell training, or mesocyclone formation. This would be most problematic in urban areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
