91 over humid. Sufficiently disgusting again.

Good that the Dulles area is getting in on some rain. Don’t really care if it makes it here or not.

Maybe even 5. River wind isn’t hurting much anymore.

Have avoided the really big heat, but creeping up there on the 90 list

CoCoRaHS. If you go to View Data and then the total precip summary link, you can get the data. Have to be careful about who is submitting every day and who only occasionally does it.

The low spots are along I81, exactly where you’d expect them to be. Except the Dulles area which is a relative min. The high spots are in the SE part of VA, again, expected.

DCA at 34” on the year, IAD at 23”. I’m at 35”. Annandale pushing 40” in Fairfax Co.

Two weeks later and the music of my neighborhood is still the gentle hum of chainsaws.

I lived in the central valley in California for several years when I was a kid. We had one moderate (6-ish) earthquake when I was 5 or 6 years old. The water sloshing out of our pool is one of my earliest vivid memories. I probably conveyed it earlier in this thread, but my memory of the 2011 quake is that I was on the 6th floor of an office building and the ceiling tiles started rattling with the initial waves. Then the S wave hit and the floor moved up and down, which was the very clear indicator of an earthquake and I got out real quick.

Summer 2010 had the record number of 90 degree days, 2011 had the insane humidity/heat, and 2012 had a bunch of 100+ days. It really was an amazing period.

@EastCoast NPZknew where he was moving.

Can’t do 3 months on CoCoRaHS, but the last 10 days paint the picture.

Over 3” now. Everything is just soaked.

>9” in the past 10 days. It can pause now.

Nope, that’s me. 2” and pouring.

12z 3km with a stripe of heavy rain through the metros, too. edit - and after looking at the 12z HRRR I bet we get another Flash Flood Watch.

The Euro, and to a lesser extent the other models, is really wet tonight and tomorrow in central VA and the delmarva.

Probably doesn’t need to be said, but a tropical system that stays strong until New England has to be booking it (1938) or strongly interact with a trough (Sandy). Both the Euro and GFS slow the system upon approach.

Seems to be that the parameters look good from central PA down to northern VA, but the models are consistently putting the mini supercells (as indicated by UH) mostly in PA. So it’ll be interesting to see whether the explicit simulations win out or not.

Everything has pointed to PA being the best location, but it’ll be interesting to see if we can get anything going down here.

The good part about last night was that areas around IAD finally got into the action. One notable thing about today, after a stagnant summer, is that the clouds are really moving. Gives the sky a different look.

Same. Another 0.8” last night.

Big time week in SE MoCo and E. FFX/Arl/Alex.

Jungle patch being mostly weeds.
