Getting hammered by rain and a little bit of thunder/lightning in Annandale.

I think it was 86 for a high but felt hotter. Even with low dewpoint. My car said 90 after i got rolling, too. Maybe have a head cold which makes my eyes wince when i go outside, though.

I went to the gym to get ahead of the rain situation. It was oppressive enough going in. However, when I came out it was light rain and was only 1 degree warmer (car thermometer). And it felt like the dewpoint had not budged. It was like the tropics. I think we'll get some decent rain out of this, but good luck to all getting hammered.

Agree, but the basic citizen really can't tell the difference between a Watch and Warning. I've always advocated for a Watch and a "Oh Sh##! It's happening" distinction.

I logged just under 2" in my unscientific tall shot glass on my deck. Also, the ground was really dry as my sump pump was not running this am. Usually, this amount of precip makes it run for a while.

1 of 2 things will happen today: we get hit hard with slamming thundershowers all around or it won't rain a drop and it will be just like today for 1 week straight.

Pretty intense sideways rain and wind w/some thunder thrown in. from the west. There was not a lot of precip to it, though. At least not here. Lasted about 15mins.

Thunderstorms. https://x.com/thetimes/status/1933194649457262720

It will be hard to clear .25 inside the beltway thus far. Maybe overnight we'll get more.

^^Or, the DC beltway split. All this activity all around and maybe light rain here.

(Radar) Rain clouds passed over me in Annandale, but nary a drop fell.

Driving east on rt 7 today at 5ish. Right before Tysons corner.

Hey all, I need to drive to Springfield MA tomorrow or maybe even Friday. Want to avoid that Noreaster rain. What would be a good time to leave. Generally, want to leave the earlier the better. And, I feel that leaving friday would be most people driving due to Memorial day. (sorry if this should be in another forum. "banter" is usually just stuff about someone's new toy like a new car, lol)

Got totally dumped on last night around 11pm ish. My electric gauge is busted, but a non scientific glass filled up 2+" in half hour to an hour. Storm drain was gushing last night and it was still running this am.

Had a really nice easter Sunday yesterday. Spent a lot of it outside. Tree pollen was high so I reached for a 24hr Zyrtec at midday (a rarity for me). Grateful for the lack of mosquitos. I guess they haven't had a chance to breed yet. However, those gnats that try to land in your eyes were plentiful. Oh, well.
