Yep, think I woke up around 11 or 11:30 for round one and never really got to bed before the real show started around 2 or so. Had a lot of loud, rolling thunder even when lightning was pretty far away, and several very close strikes. And obviously lots of heavy rain. Not sure how much we got, but had to be at least a couple inches, plus additional rain around 5 this morning. I think the two biggest lightning and thunder storms for this summer for me have come within the past couple of weeks.

Ok thanks, must have missed that. I knew something didn't seem right.
-
Where is the excessive rainfall forecast coming from today? Radar looks empty, forecast is not for much today, and while those dumb futurecast things aren't all that accurate, all they show is very isolated storms later.
-
Had a few close strikes here, especially one that seemed like it was just yards away.
-
Big storm near Columbia. Thankfully, a lot of it shifted south of Ellicott City but it looks like there may be some re-development, as well as more storms to the west.
-
Finally put out a Flood Warning there. Looks like that area might be trying to shift a bit to the south but it's been dumping good there for about an hour now.
-
Ummmm radar not looking so hot for Ellicott City right now. Where is the flood warning there? I'm to the east of that activity and can hear pretty constant thunder. It's gotta be dumping there and it just keeps stalling and re-forming.
-
Lancaster area ended up the big winner today, though that eastern area of Harford might give it a run for its money. Line is definitely redeveloping west and sagging south, and now there is also an area around the city and south developing and just sitting.
-
Pretty wild how little rain I've received this week. Some areas to the west have gotten dumped on for sure, but this has been a total bust around here.
-
Actually not as high on our chances now. That area around DC hasn't advanced much and seems to pressing east a bit. Probably going to end more over the bay than in the Baltimore area, and all that stuff down by Richmond is going well east. Looks like it's our turn to miss out this week.
-
If we can keep the sun shining another couple of hours, it looks like we could get a lot of showers and storms to form just ahead of that line. Could be a really wet afternoon and evening.
-
Don't care.
-
I'm not sure when I said my bar is apocalyptic rain or destruction. I simply said it has not been near the event for us that Cranky hyped it up to be last week. Not really anything to get upset or argue over. He's still really good. No one is perfect.
-
Cranky is really good and obviously you have the have's and the have not's when it comes to this type of event and scattered storms, but last week he hyped up a repeat of the previous week and that's not at all what has happened. This has been more of a mountain deal, which he has emphasized more recently.
-
I guess it depends on where you live? Baltimore area has gotten less than a half inch from an event that was supposed to start Monday. Don't think either metro area has really gotten anything from this unless you go out west or way down into Southern MD area.
-
Models definitely look really dry. NAM shows some heavy rain late Thursday, but it keeps teasing with that and then it doesn't come to fruition. This looks like a huge bust. Cranky can't win them all!
-
Looks to me like it's starting to weaken and also is heading well east of the cities. Looks more like an Eastern Shore deal except for maybe the western edge just clipping east of 95, but appears it would only last a few minutes. I wouldn't think much would happen until the front lifts north of us.
-
He does, but I'm not seeing any model support for that whatsoever.
-
I think we can just about put the nail in the coffin on the chances BWI sets a monthly record. Looks like a very impressive second-place finish.
-
I know Eskimo Joe gets heat on here for always downplaying events, but this one does look like it might be a bust/overhyped. Where's the rain?
-
In play but it's going to take a big day tomorrow to make it happen, and it looks like Wednesday is our best shot for a big rain, not tomorrow. Think we need about two inches at BWI to break it, which is going to take some serious rain obviously.
-
Really? I'm under yellow returns right now and it's a very light rain. I'll be lucky to get a tenth out of this.
-
Thought radar looked a lot better a couple hours ago. Now, eh. Figured a lot more would have blossomed and there would be more coverage.
-
Wouldn't it be heavy rain just west of EC that causes flooding, as it runs down the hill? My guess is EC is safe, but probably only because the rain started to fade as it approached. Had the rain come in a bit earlier, it could have been a bit of a problem.
-
Rain definitely lessening in intensity. I bet BWI hardly picked up anything from this. Just a bit too far east to feel the worst of the impact before things started to die down.
