Tossed the data, but somewhere in the middle. They’ve been killing it down by Va Beach. https://cocorahs.org/ViewData/TotalPrecipSummary.aspx

86 was my high back home. 84 here in Austin. This is unbelievable even with the humidity.

Picked up .32" which put me over the 10" mark for the month.

Hurricane center is picking up on it too

8:30 and already in the 60's.

Thanks. We had one of those free blower tests done by the power company (West Penn Power here...First Energy company) and though I did not have weather stripping on the access door it tested pretty good which surprised me. The things that did not test good were having the damper on my fireplace open and some of the recessed lighting. I keep hearing conflicting info on the tax break for putting insultation in. The government site says it is not refundable, but my CPA says we can still apply it and get a refund so not sure. I got a $500 rebate from the power company as well. I am still out 3-4K after the rebates. We went from R19 to R49.

Our area of Eastern Augusta and northern Waynesboro most certainly needed those 2 storms last evening and they seemed to have also given the southern Shenandoah Nat Park and extreme western Albemarle a good dousing which was as dry as us...

What is COC refering to in a lot of posts I see? Not coming up in any searches.

Just think there's more power in an Iphone than what was on Apollo 13.

And yet no support whatsoever with the GFS ensembles...

Rain finally lightened up considerably ~40 minutes ago. The street out front flooded and even the sidewalks flooded on both sides as water went well over the curbs. I’m guessing that was ~3” rain within one hour. Keep in mind I had 5” during the 7 days before this giving me ~11.25” for July to date! I’ve had lots of storms this month but this complex of storms appears to have taken the cake. Besides the rain (along with decent winds near the start), the CTG lightning frequency was among the worst I can recall at least in several years. The radar detected 800+ strokes within 15 minutes over the area! Many vehicles got stuck in flooding.

Where would 5.53" fall (mine)?

la la land and nit-picking, but it's a Port Arthur/Beaumont track. Lake Charles and west would get crushed though.

Assuming the smoke aloft over the Ohio Valley west of the Appalachian mountains doesn't block out too much sunlight a fairly decent sunset could be coming up.

There are 287 CoCoRahs stations in VA that have consistently (50+) reported since June 1st. I have the 6th lowest total in the state (2.10").

Blame Canada

The Maritime Continent forcing is even stronger than usual for a developing La Niña in July due to the stronger WPAC warm pool. It may be why the Atlantic hurricane activity has been quieter than expected since Beryl. The 500 mb pattern has also been similar to a very strong La Niña response across the CONUS with the classic Niña ridge axis near New England and the PAC NW. But the strength of the ridges are more exaggerated than we typically see with La Ninas. This has also been the case with the La Ninas in recent summers. So another case of the WPAC warm pool leading the actual La Niña ONI SST readings.

I think Mullins was in the lineup and then told to sit. Could be getting shipped out too.

It's a windows open kind of night Detailed Forecast Tonight Clear, with a low around 55. Northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening
