I know it's in your profile name....but DUDE. You take THE MOST AWESOME pics, like EVER, in this entire sub. Probably in all of the AmWx subs. I so love your work. I aspire to your level of photographic skills (with my various Google Pixel phones).   So for that....THANK YOU for sharing!! 

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!! I am fortunate to live in a beautiful area which I take 95% of the photos within a 10 mile radius of my house. One day, I'll go chasing one of these storms!

2.10 for the past couple days (had to use my old rain gauge).

My logia 7-1 in 1 weather station stopped tracking the rain this past couple days. It didn't appear clogged. Put new batteries in so hopefully that might fix the issue. 

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1096
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
222 PM EDT Sat Sep 23 2023

Areas affected...northern North Carolina, central/eastern
Virginia, southern Maryland, southern Delaware, and the District
of Columbia

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

Valid 231822Z - 240030Z

Summary...Heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Ophelia
continues to promote considerable flash flood potential across the
discussion area this afternoon.

Discussion...The center of Ophelia continues to move northward
across eastern North Carolina and was located near the NC/VA
border southwest of Norfolk.  Bands of heavy precipitation have
continued to produce areas of 1+ inch/hr rain rates over multiple
hours both near the center (near Roanoke Rapids) and also
west-through-southwest of the center near Raleigh metro.  The bulk
of flash flood potential has been located with this activity. 
Meanwhile, scattered convection has progressed fairly quickly
across the DelMarVa that has managed to produce spots of 0.5-0.75
inch/hr rain rates while wetting soils downstream of Ophelia.

The overall flash flood scenario with Ophelia continues and
remains separated into these two separate regimes: 1) with
concentrated/banded convection near the center and just west of
the storm and 2) with banded convection forming in a slightly more
buoyant airmass northeastward toward the DelMarVa.  So far, the
more concentrated flash flood threat has evolved over North
Carolina (with at least one report of closed roadways near
Greenville).  Prolonged heavy rainfall in these areas have
resulted in 2-7 inches storm total precipitation and wet soils
supporting efficient runoff.  Flash flooding remains likely in
this scenario, and the better risk should continue to spread
northward toward the I-95 corridor in eastern Virginia (including
Richmond Metro) through 00Z.

Farther to the northeast (from far southeastern Virginia
northeastward to the DelMarVa), lighter rain rates have generally
materialized despite notable banding of convection.  Rain has
generally remained fairly progressive, although the presence of
strong low-level convergence and buoyancy in these areas may still
promote isolated flash flood potential especially if convective
bands stall and manage to produce higher rain rates through 00Z.

Winds picking up. Heaviest rain so far today. Temp 63.6

Beautiful sunset tonight! Starting to get breezy.

Dry day until 6:30 pm. 0.04 so far. 

1.39 overnight and additional 0.37 this afternoon.

Went to Patapsco Valley State Park today. The recent rainfall definitely was evident along the river, streams & at the water waterfall. Some of the grassy areas along the banks were covered in water.

Neat sky this afternoon as the storm moved north from the Annapolis area. Decent amount of lightning towards the Eastern Shore.

There may be a beautiful sunset coming up later next hour.

Yes it was!  

Just sprinkles. Hoped for some rain. Nice evening for a walk. 

It's been pretty dry for the second half of the month. 2.46 for the month but only 0.01 after Aug 15th. 

Beautiful afternoon especially for late August! 

Thanks! I have done spinach before but will try out broccoli, garlic and onions this year. 

I don't normally do fall veggie plantings but thinking about doing some this year if it isn't too late. Any suggestion for fall veggie seeds to plant soon? 

I didn't check the weather models before but thought the local weather station showed forecasted highs in the mid-upper 90s today but only reached 89.6 here
