Picked up 0.52 which is most in a day since early July. I'm a little jealous of 1.0 to 1.8 inch amounts just 2-3 miles to my north and south but I have to take what I can get

Finally a nice hit from a thundershower. The first bolt was very close with the thunderclap less than a second after the flash. I love night lightning! Moderate rain for about 10 minutes. Hoping the stuff out west holds together

I am so looking forward to much lower temps over the coming days. This has been a rough summer! It would be extra sweet to get 2" of rain but that is asking a lot

My area is in severe drought according to the map. The thing here is my specific spot (just NE of Germantown) misses close by over and over. Like Saturday I saw dark sky and thunder first to the N and later S with nothing here. Seems like south county gets the storms over and over or they swing up thru the high elevations to my west around to Damascus/Mt Airy. The big rain days a weeks ago yielded me 0.43 and I got just 1.1 for July. It would be incredible for my area to get 2 inches from this especially if it's spread out over a couple days. But man I have to see it first I am jaded

Sorry but have to see it to believe it. I'd be shocked and ecstatic to see more then a couple tenths

I turned my garden sprinklers on early this morning and forgot to set a timer. Best rain in my garden all summer LOL! Two more blazing hot days to power thru and we get a big break on temps. I don't expect much rain but I'll take couple dry overcast and cool days

Congrats Gaithersburg again

This pic tells the story of how things go here. It happens over and over and takes a fluke to get a summer t-storm here. My only chance is tropical remains in a few days but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a sharp cutoff to my east

First couple clusters fizzled and/or missed. NE MD pummeled again? Hoping for better luck later

Baltimore does that in a day Already seeing some towers to the north in PA. Hope we all cash in

Just over 0.4 for the best rainfall in a long time here. Hoping for more tomorrow

Getting the best shower in weeks here finally. Hoping for more tomorrow and a further west track for next week's tropical system

Full overcast with blazing 97 degree temp. I usually love summer but I'll be glad when this one's over

We couldn't even get it done with a cold front plowing into a 100-105 degree airmass a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping that tropical system coming into the eastern Gulf takes a further west track up the coast than predicted Starting out at 78/72. Today is gonna blaze!

Dadgummit I told you not to mess that up! I hope tomorrow and Saturday we all cash in on some nice storms. I'd really love to see a nighttime storm with lots of lightning. Been a minute

That second one is severe warned! Stephens City better not mess this up 93/72 and sunny

Hoping for a change in rain fortunes in August after 1.9 in June and 1.1 in July. Low bar Sunny and 80/70. Cicada warning in effect

Wow congrats on the 2.4 inches! That's more than twice the amount I got for the month

Congrats, we want amounts! Please let Ocean City MD on Labor Day weekend have a thunderstorm so I can witness just one this summer

Nice breeze though Meanwhile Darnestown/Potomac area AGAIN with the pop ups. Seems like a daily thing I see the sky to my south darken and hear thunder. Lawns and gardens must be happy down there

Great! Now if we can get some of the better models to agree

Question: does anyone have the RainDrop app and found it to be very inaccurate? I got 0.22 in my gauge yesterday and the app had me at 0.59. I also found a couple CoCoRahs obs that were way lower than the app had for those spots. It has me at 1.78 since July 1; I have measured 1.08 Anyway, sun breaking out as we get dragged into three straight days of 95-100 degrees

0.22 from a quick thundershower for the first time in a couple weeks which puts July total just over an inch

That is too funny!

This from earlier in case anyone thinks I exaggerate the incredible desolate dryness of this craphole. This happens all summer and it will not rain here again until deep into fall
