MN Transplant

Rainfall over the last week. A lot of us in the 1-2.5" range, with some big winners near Frederick, Manassas, Dulles, and Martinsburg. As has been tradition this year, DC itself, southern DE, and Stephens City did poorly. Airport totals continue to diverge (year-to-date total, departure): DCA: 14.71", -6.94" IAD: 21.95", -0.81" BWI: 18.45", -3.94"

Happy with 0.70”+ of rain. Still no thunderstorms this year.

No thunder yet, but at least it has started raining.

Me watching radar

We should probably be looking at the stuff initiating out by Dulles

C'mon little outflow boundary

5 consecutive days where I’ve had measurable precipitation, and my yearly negative departure has grown.

Did the exact trip last summer. Incredible stuff. One note - parking in Glacier is damn near impossible, even with the reservation system. Traffic flows, there is just nowhere to stop near the major trails/sights. So, consider the buses.

0.32” over the past week.

I’m sure these will dissipate and we’ll get a couple hundredths of light stratiform rain.

Just getting completely outclassed

I understand the frustration, but it is kind of a darned if you do, darned if you don't situation. If that 4" of rain that quickly fell west of Baltimore yesterday was over a city or a major roadway, there would be no questions about the veracity of the Flood Watch.

Good news: The 12z HRRR gives me >1" of rain. Bad news: The rain is supposed to be falling right now.

0.01” DCA is now -7.28” year to date

It is July 5th and I haven’t had a close thunderstorm yet this year. And I know this because this weekend’s fireworks was the first time we had to comfort our dog this year due to loud noises. I’d love to see a ytd lightning strike map.
