Hello everyone,

Although there was 3 warnings for my county, only 1 ({at}3pm) storm moved
into my town. The storm developed on the heals of the previous 2 that
were north of me.

There was only severe report in my county, and 3 dozen reports from the
Sterling (Baltimore/Washington) NWS office. During the storm i received
.28" rain & a pwg of 29 mph. The storm was ushered in on a sharp cold
front. The dew pont fell from 66 at midday to 50 at 5pm to 43 late Wed
evening. The afternoon high had been 87 before the storms, up from the
low dawn low of 66. The Wed evening low was 54, the coolest reading in
a week.

After the frontal passages the skies cleared & winds gusted to 32 mph.
Several downed limbs & trees caused a few power outages, & at least 1
car was damaged by a fallen tree, after the storms had left the area.

I compiled a series of photos & web images on the storm, and it is
available at
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=817111&a=6157043 .
[I like ths site because you can crop photos & add special effects.]
This album will remain active thru the weekend, & if i get enough
response i'll do more as time permits.

[I missed out on the early storms, as i was working, and was arriving
home as the final storm was developing overhead]
