You're good. We do fine with stratiform rain events, but thunderstorms are orographically blocked here and they are very rare, maybe 2 or 3 per summer. I expect less than a half inch for the whole week

Just missed and the line consolidated to my east. Hope I have better luck the rest of the week. I'll need to water the garden this evening

Radar looks like very light shower but it's solidly moderate rain coming down. Efficient rain processes? It must be pouring in central VA to southern MD

Steady lt/mod rain for the last hour and about 1.5 in the gauge. Perfect!

0.85 from that first round and a fresh 75 degrees. Off to a great start!

Flush hit by a cell that blew up west of Gaithersburg and rolled through; will measure when it stops. The pressure is off now for later rounds. Hope everyone gets in on the action!

Whoa DCA at 86/75 already. GAI listed at 87/77 -- dunno if accurate but it sure feels that hot out there! C'mon drenchers!!

I need rain bad as I've missed out for several days now. That FF watch jinx makes me nervous A sweaty 78/78 to start

Can't believe I got some garden work done with temps in the upper 60s!

Got 0.9 in 20 minutes last evening from a quick, small pulser that formed right over my area then faded. 2 miles to my north got nothing. Cloudy and a cool, fresh 65

Well this sux. Missed everything yesterday and today and thinking it might not rain again for a very long time, Zone forecast looked so good 24 hours ago and nuthin

Just E/NE of Richmond has a nearly stationary storm that is severe warned for 60 mph gusts and has a flash flood warning. That's gotta be wild

NE MontCo cell missed but it's nice to be mostly cloudy and just 89 at 3 pm. Wasn't expecting that today! I hope we all get big boomers tomorrow

So jealous of the folks under that northern MD thunderstorm! I wonder what their temp dropped to Hoping more pop up later

I noticed Balt Harbor and PAX run several degrees warmer than everywhere else. Are they off?

You know it's bad when Garrett Airport got to 86 and Hot Springs, VA hit 84

That boundary was luscious! Nice gusts and temp dropped 15 degrees in minutes The thunderstorm was kinda blah -- just some mod rain and not much lightning

1.1 from the downpour earlier to go with the 0.5 from last night for 1.6 on the day. Sunny and steamy out now

Second round weakened as it came thru which is fine. It must be wild near Wheaton to west of Columbia because radar looks stronger than it was here and it was HEAVY

Wow this is bad -- nearly an inch in about 15 minutes and more incoming from the west. Unlike most t-storms it stayed real steamy out. Back neighbors' yards look like a creek

That escalated quickly. Had a long phone call and was going to do a little yard work and suddenly it's POURING and radar is lit up. I thought this would be later Now a FF watch and severe TS watch dang!

Wow Gaithersburg Airport reporting 84/82? That DP might be off but it's steamy for sure Oh and I gotta do some yardwork wheeeee!

Super sharp west-to-east cutoff on last night's rain. I was right on the edge and got 0.5 with 1-2 inch amounts just north, while places close to my south got nothing. Another chance today with this juicy bit from LWX: For now, holding off on a Flood Watch given the coverage of storms today. Still may need one in upcoming shifts especially in and around the Washington DC metro north along I-270 and back across the eastern WV Panhandle where max/mean values from the CAMS paint a solid 1-3 inches of rain with localized bullseye up to 5"

OK we got some make up rain this morning with that back-building band that sat over central MD. Winding down now after adding 0.8 for about 1.1 total since Saturday

That 1.71 at Damascus is only about 6 miles north of me (I'm close to that 0.24)
