North Balti Zen

Here's some destruction for you, if it meets your bar:

I mean, what are people's expectations? Not every rain even is going to be apocalyptic. It rained. Hard. It has been raining plenty, for weeks now. Not sure it is ohmygodbust if we get rain and it doesn't leave destruction in its wake...

On top of that, it rained quite a bit last night for a lot of people in our forum, so not sure where cranky was wrong...

It rained a lot last night, what are you talking about?

Cranky seems bullish for heavy rain for the area.

Wet. Bwi still with all-time monthly record in play.

I wonder how much of this bwi caught - I really want to go ahead and see the airport break the all-time monthly record now since it is so close.

I genuinely wish I could ship 10 inches of what we have gotten over to your area.

Just heavy rain. Some lightning. A lot lot lot of rain.

It’s insane.

Good grief the rain rates in Balt city are insane again.

Was a pipe dream to skip August without some heat, hopefully given that we are into August now, it won't be a month or more of unrelenting big heat.

There is that. Can’t believe it is raining again.

High water along the Jones Falls - Meadow Mill/Whole Foods area being evacuated and also Clipper Mill area just downstream. http://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/mt-washington-village-evacuated-due-to-high-water http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/weather/weather-blog/bs-md-weather-tuesday-20180724-story.html

Frankly, that moisture feed from off the Atlantic from the Carolina coast aimed in the general direction of our part of the mid-atlantic is amazing to look at on radar. That's a lot of water for somewhere in the general area as the day unfolds I would guess.

Ah, ok! Thanks, missed the reference. Yeah, zzzzz indeed.

I don't know what this means, but ok? I mean, it has been raining on and off for days as forecast, with some significant amounts. As forecast. I have seen posts acting like LWX has been out of line for forecasting a lot of rain and for the FFW etc, and I don't agree with that. It appears to have been well forecast and has been a significant event. I don't know that anyone is excited for rain - I mean, it isn't snow, which fires most of the board up, but from a forecasting perspective, this has been well handled it would appear.

EJ - it remains an absolute deluge in a large part of the area. I know you are only happy if there is untold death and destruction, but this has been an extremely well forecast and high impact event that has performed, I think, it is fair to say. Large parts of the LWX area over 8 inches or rain, and many 10 or more. The mid-range modeling picked up on this very well, I think. Not sure why your shtik, even as it does what it was supposed to do...

It just won't stop.

So much rain.

i am over seven inches since midday Saturday . Was slowish getting going but from Saturday evening to now has been waves of rain.

Absolutely pouring again in Balt city.

Never fails, EJ poor mouths and then it pours walls of rain two hours later. Buckets of rain downtown Balt City.

Two really heavy rounds of rain in Balt city this afternoon.

I am in Lake Anna for today and tomorrow. The bands of rain made it this far west. Been raining since 11 am.
