Rolling thunder here in 20157. Looks like I might get stuck between lines. Still as can be out right now.

Yes, via my metrics of if it is loud enough to bother the dogs. I’ve heard thunder in the distance this year, but no close strikes until today.

Been there…the script was flipped a couple years ago. Hopefully we all get a tropical remnant system at some point.

Are there going to be any tropical events at all this year?

Glad I got that storm with the warm front this morning. Seeing the usual gap on the radar.

What the hell is it with this precip split for Southern Maryland.  It's been all summer.  Rain north, rain south, black hole in the middle.  We better make up for it this winter.

On the east side of Columbia, the afternoon thunderstorm gave me exactly 1.00 inches. Counting a pre-dawn thundershower, I’m at 1.11 inches for the day and 4.39 inches already for July, not too shabby.

Looks like it is trying to build your way.

I used to complain about Germantown being dry LOL.  It's got nothing on the full-blown desert that is southern Calvert.  Radar is now clear that no rain will fall here again today and it won't next week either.  We won't get real rain here until late fall when we start getting those nino-fueled Gulf lows.

Its here. Sounds wicked. Got some cool shots while it was rolling in.

[CAPE]

That was pretty intense. Winds probably peaked in the 40-50 mph range. Just like this morning, the lightning was impressive. Lost power briefly.

1.35" for the day.

[Araz07]

All the storms split right around me. 0.14" on my PWS

[CAPE]

A couple shots of the storm rolling in

Drizzle

 

It's rained twice today and yet to wet the ground.

[Mrs.J]

Mr. J just went out to pick up our dinner. Opened the door and walked into a sauna. This is in Lewes DE by the way so the storms have not gotten here yet. 

[SnowtoRain]

Missed the worst of the T&L but got the rain, 0.72" and counting

[MN Transplant]

0.47”.  I’ll take it, but we desperately need a region-wide soaker.

That was a lie, sideways rain and T&L, torrential 1.18" now.

[Mrs.J]

Well crap that escalated quick. Tornado Warning just to my West of the place we are staying.

Yeah you are getting crushed again. Might end up with 5"+ over the last several days.

[CAPE]

Flash flood warning 1.54" and counting
