Training Thunderstorms?
« on: September 27, 2008, 02:44:41 PM »
I've got a question for the weather knowledgeable here. WxScan has a special weather statement scroll on right now, and in the scroll it says that Doppler Radar has indicated training thunderstorms over Baltimore. What is a training thunderstorm? One that's training to be a full-fledged thunderstorm (quirky joke :bleh: )? Not sure I've ever heard that term before.  :thinking:

Training thunderstorms are when several thunderstorms that have formed on a single line (and you can many storms in that line that line up like train cars, hence the name "training" thunderstorms) , and each hit the same area one after another (which can result in flooding).

This happened at about the same time last month here.  It sucks.  We saw it for 2 1/2 days straight..it's crazy.
