July 26 Strong Storms For Some But More Heat For The Region
Monday July 26 2021
As the heat is climbing back up, there has also been an increase in strong storms. On Sunday evening, a band of rain formed in southern Pennsylvania, and drifted southward into northern Maryland close to midnight.
Radar Recap: 10 PM Sunday to Midnight
Heat Lightning
From a distance, it put in quite a light show. Sarah Dingle Clippinger saw the tops of these clouds light up in York County. What many call heat lightning, is actually regular lightning from a storm far enough away that you can not hear the thunder or get the rain.

Diana Coates captured the rain, wind, and light show under one of those storms the reached northeastern Maryland.
Morning Surface Weather
A cold front is still nearby, which may help spawn more storms later today, but once gain the forcing is low. So our chance will be about 20% late afternoon and evening. The sky will be mixing with plenty of clouds with that front nearby.
Radar Simulation
4 PM to 6 AM Tuesday
The focus will slip south, and may keep the storms active before sunrise by the beaches.

Sunshine State Of Mind
I am done with the cold and snow (for the season). I am embracing my wife’s mantra of Sunshine State of Mind.
