What's impressive with this event is farther north into PA and NY. It's like every round of precip has rotated back along the Susquehanna River basin...truly a significant hydrologic event up there.

Please take it to the banter.

I'm 30 and ~7" of rain after a drought in the middle of summer isn't thread worthy.

If you take a look at the SPC meso analysis, that's directly under an area of deep moisture convergence. One the precip moves off that area it fades out fast. The meso guidance has all of that precip avoid the entire area.

At my age, it's hard to get excited over anything so I just roll with it. Annapolis just gust to 41 mph. Some of the stronger cells are trying to pull down some wind from aloft. Looks like that gust prompted a special marine warning for Baltimore Inner Harbor.

LWX trimming pops down a tad...sun trying to poke out...maybe that'll re-energize stuff for later but I'm not holding my breath.

Meso guidance has that RIC to NC stuff break apart and shooting offshore through the day. There's a bit of re-development progged over Amelia Court House and Blackstone but otherwise it's dry over the next 18 hours: https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/HRRR/displayMapLocalDiskDateDomainZipTZA.cgi?keys=hrrr_ncep_jet:&runtime=2018072412&plot_type=totp_z4sfc&fcst=08&time_inc=60&num_times=37&model=hrrr&ptitle=HRRR Model Fields - Experimental&maxFcstLen=36&fcstStrLen=-1&domain=z4&adtfn=1

That's going offshore.

Yea the NJ, DE and MD/VA beaches lucked out. Probably real humid down there though.

Woke up this morning to a doe wrecking my neighbor's peach tree. Our garden was wrapped with netting to stop their attacks and so far it's working. We've put down some Espoma Vegetable & Tomato Tone™ (https://www.amazon.com/Tomato-tone-Organic-Fertilizer-YOUR-TOMATOES/dp/B0011UEKKE). It's really helped replenish the soil over the past couple of years since the previous homeowner was not too keen on working the garden properly.

Rain shooting east...shocker.

0.47" since 4:00pm yesterday Gaithersburg

Tornado Warning Fairfax County.

Finally raining in Reisterstown...my hostas are happy

Looks like Charles Town and Baltimore City win. The rest of the area is pretty quiet on the radar.

Always do on barbless hooks.

Yea, it's an abandoned golf course so there's about 4 or 5 water hazards that you can walk. I've always parked on Duffer Way and then I go and fish them. Got some bass around 16" in them...top water plugs work well.

Transplanted about a dozen Hosta plants and fertilized the pumpkins yesterday. Really could use some rain in Reisterstown to soak everything in. Eastern Baltimore has gotten more than the I-795 corridor since Saturday.

If you don't mind a drive: 1.) Pond in front of Pleasant Valley Fire Department (Carroll County) 2.) This pond here in Montgomery Village of Duffer Way: HERE

Pond fishing is probably still viable.

Check the scale...the next contour up is only ~2.5"

Meso guidance (the NAMs...RGEM, HRRR) look dry <2" over 2 days outside of a rogue sweet spot.

True...I'd like to see tad bit more helicity though.

Meh. Decent wind max showing up on the SPC meso analysis this morning though...might get a few wet microbursts this afternoon in NOVA and S. MD.
