Expecting to find a lot of flooded roads heading out this morning. I measured 1.46" in the past 24 hours. 10.81" here for September. 56.56" for the year. 42.88" since May 1. Average annual precip is 37.90"
-
Looks like Martinsburg will finish with the third-wettest September on record at 9.23", behind only 1945 (9.49") and 1975 (9.35") August was the fourth-wettest on record at the airport.
-
Getting ready to crack 10" here for September. There's only one double-digit monthly total in MRB's records that go back to 1926: October 1942 at 10.38". 9.90" now with steady rain looking to last several more hours. 0.55" of that since 7:00 a.m.
-
Up to 9.08" of rain for September, making it the wettest month since I moved here in 2006. It passes August's 9.05" for the top spot.
-
Another half inch of rain overnight . 8.64” now for September. 17.69” since August 1. One of the roads out of our neighborhood has had water flowing across it since the flooding on the 9th.
-
Thanks for sharing the forecasts. Like yours better. 1969-70 was a 40" winter in this area. January 1970 was a top 5 month all-time for cold here. Would love a repeat of that winter.
-
Only 0.30" here today. Well under the forecasted amounts. Guess I should be thankful, since some roads still have water flowing across them from last week's flooding. But I am a weenie, so not happy about the "bust."
-
There has only been one month where MRB recorded double-digit precip amounts: October 1942 at 10.38". Depending on how tomorrow goes, I might have a shot at 10" this month in my yard. Currently at 7.15". The 9.05" I recorded in August would have been the 10th all-time wettest month vs Martinsburg's records.
-
10 of the last 11 Novembers have been drier than normal (at MRB.) But 6 of the last 9 Octobers have been above normal for precip. I would like to see this reversed this year.
-
1.76" overnight. Must have been a very localized event, with MRB around 0.50" and HGR barely 0.10". Rural roads, farm fields and yards all under water this morning. 7.00" now for September, the 5th consecutive month above 7"
-
MRB set new daily low max-temp records on Sunday (60) and Monday (62.). Previous records for both days was 65, in 1957 (9th) and 1967 (10th.)
-
Another half-inch overnight. 2.09" the past 24 hours. 4.66" for the event. Schools have a delayed opening here this morning due to flooding. Second such delay in the first four weeks of the school year.

Berkeley County, WV this evening:
-
1.61" since 7:00 a.m. 4.18" for the weekend. Numerous road closures including Rt. 11 in spots, which is the main road in this area that parallels I-81.
-
1.15" since 7:00 a.m. 3.72" for the weekend. Third time in 13 years that we have ankle-deep water in our backyard. Twice this year.
-
2.42" in the past 24 hours. 48.48" for the year now.
-
Windswept rain at 59°
-
Beautiful morning with gusty winds from the north. Currently 18 mph gusting to 27. Temp down to 64. Only 0.14" of rain last night. Hoping to do better than that through tomorrow.
-
With a little over half-an inch today, I am at 8.97" for the month. Which makes it the wettest month I have measured since moving to this location in August 2006. Four of the top seven months have happened since May. 1) 08/2018: 8.97" 2) 07/2017: 8.85" 3) 04/2011: 8.78" 4) 06/2018: 8.10" 5) 06/2014: 7.93" 6) 05/2018: 7.58" 7) 07/2018: 7.34"
-
Why did I think I would get missed ? Nothing has missed here since early May. Getting dumped on again, with some gusts to 40. Temp down to 78.
-
Booming thunder here from a storm that looks on radar to be at least 10 air miles away. Trajectory suggests a miss, but this sounds like a pretty potent cell.
-
With last night's rainfall, MRB broke their record from 1996 for the wettest May-August ever. With a week to go, 2018 is at 26.73" vs the 26.02" from '96. That year, another 7.86" fell in September.
-
Public schools here in Berkeley County are on a two-hour delay tomorrow due to flooding in the area.
-
2.13" here in just over an hour from 6:00-7:00 p.m. It left water rushing across numerous roadways in the area, and standing water in farm fields and back yards. Now at 8.14" for August. The fourth consecutive 7.00"+ month in my yard. And thunder has returned and more downpours are bearing down.
-
Picked up a fairly quick half-inch of rain here that brings the August total to 5.89" 14 of 18 days now this month with measureable rain.
