Dropped from 84 to 70 here.    Here's to this being the last day of 80+ this year!

Crushing now, but it's a thin line moving fast, so the western horizon is brightening fast.

Sunshine back

I was getting concerned that Frederick might actually miss a thunderstorm this season. Nope. Nailed as usual lol

[Weather Will]

Actually missed SW Frederick county....

[aldie 22]

Windy and a few spits of rain. The heavy stuff developing literally just to my east. Temp down to 70

Ok wow that Southern part of the line blew up! Nothing here but I advised a friend South of me to put her horses out. Only to check radar and see the line explode over her house. She is still in a downpour with soaked horses.

Just wait til you’re up on the Tug smoking our cirrus from PD3

Found the end of the storm line

For those always saying Frederick gets the storms. Not all parts of Frederick gets the storms. I have been sitting on this edge for 20 min.

Temps dropped almost 20 degrees to 55 now. Had a few gusty showers dropping 0.18" but nothing even close to severe. 

[kgottwald]

Temps plunging at IAD, but still warm and muggy at Solace on the Anacostia riverfront, with nasty-looking clouds building to the NW.

Does anyone have a good link for estimated QPF fallen?

[WxUSAF]

A bit more than 0.4” so far. More than I figured there would be.

[EastCoast NPZ]

What a joke.  87 / 74 today and not a drop of rain.
