I’m sure these will dissipate and we’ll get a couple hundredths of light stratiform rain.

Should be a good rain to soak in later tonight and tomorrow. I came home to El Paso. Ground is hard as a rock. Windy here tomorrow too.

Man I knew they were done the second that appeal to the FIFA president happened. Nothing good was gonna come from that, lol

HRRR looked reasonable. A general .5-1.5"

NAM radar sim is comically wrong, however

4” in Boston on the 18z NAM and about 2 tenths on the 00z through 20 hours

This is the kind of thing I’ve seen in the orioles

It just doesn’t want to rain IMBY all these models saying rain is coming and nothing to show

NAM also . some knew

Wasn’t it supposed to pour rain tonight?

00z HRRR

What’s it take to get one of these storms overhead in DC? Just want some fun T&L

Come on, blob. Blob my way

I think a fun bit of micro climatology played a part in that storm complex. Looking back at radar shows the storm popped up right over Dulles airport around 9pm. In college I learned that the delayed heat release of pavement peaks ~2 hours after the inversion layer sets. Definitely think that the local heat island of Dulles helped make a convective current that finally broke into our high CAPE environment. Now we get to watch the storm spread out through boundaries. Really goes to show how human made heat islands impact the whole area around them.

Some new blossoming of the radar giving me some unreliable hope.

Pouring! 1.4” in 30 min

4.96" for the day so far. 5.98" event total and counting Lost power an hour ago just in time for the soccer game. Had to fire up the generator

Same .. Stuck on 0.44 from the 4th...

up to about 4 here. Still going but much lighter

Was coaching for the IM-meet which is a mile from Dulles and that storm is a crazy lightning producer. Tons of CG strikes with loud thunder.

2.86” today, 3.46” total. Proper soaking.

Just got home to find another 2.66" to go with the 1.09" that I had overnight and early this morning for a total of 3.75". After being missed in all directions for so long the law of averages finally came through.

Just getting completely outclassed

Pouring rain here for the third day in a row.

Okay My typical Not measurable in Garner
