My typical zero in fuquay varina...lol. Glad Falls lake got some good rain!

Also maxed out at 99.0 before the clouds arrived and heat index was 112 which I believe was highest of the entire heat wave here

Under the stratiform rain coming off the cells in southern Fairfax and still get .2+ inch per hour rates.

Wow that sucks. I’m lucky here in New Windsor having power. Just broke the 5” reading with 5.03” currently.

Have to wonder if that heavy rain near the islands makes it this far north before it gets blasted east.

Don’t think I need to water in morning. 2.89” here. Radar estimates show over 6” just east of my location. Maybe more to come overnight? 3.03” MTD

This is what we are. A very good but not top level team. Can't make mistakes like they did tonight and expect to beat a top 10 team.

So far this has been the perfect" pre season game" for the methuen area...not a drop of rain has fallen while areas to the south have been "buried".... #TOTALWASTELAND

The good news for most was that it was spread out over 24 hrs which mitigated flood risks

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.
