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)

0.3 overnight and just 0.65 for the month, with today and tomorrow looking like the typical dreary drizzlefest with not much rain. After the wet May, maybe we're back to the <1 inch monthly totals that March and April had

Big cell formed yesterday like 3 miles to the east and moved away. Total for June so far just a quarter inch. Germantown is back!

I'm in Marco Island, FL -- this heavy stuff is aimed to train right over us for the next several hours. It already looks like a tropical storm out there. Precip discussion mentions 3 inch per hour rates with some spots of 5 inches possible

Good grief NAM -- that would be a proper mess for DC

So nice out right now, partly sunny and 75 Yikes at LWX talking about tomorrow night's rain: "Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are likely in the favored zone of forcing, but CAMs suggest localized totals over 4 inches are possible."

You might have to bring back that lush, green pic you had a few years ago

Light rain and a chilly 50 degrees, with 0.6 in the gauge since yesterday. We're headed to south FL in a couple days -- think it'll feel hot to us?

Dangit I thought I had most of the day to finish up yard work before the rain arrives. So much for that! Light rain and 63

We got so lucky with this weekend being sandwiched perfectly between last week's multi-day rain and the one coming tomorrow afternoon thru Wed night! Sun peeking thru and 56 to start

Hopes for a sunny day not looking good with clouds quickly filling the sky and the cold winds picking up

Hope the sun gets here soon! I was just out and it feels like November - cloudy, breezy and 58. My poor butterfly garden plants are getting nowhere

I hate when we get back to back dreary chilly days with only about a quarter inch to show for it

Flush hit with 50 mph gusts, heavy rain and lots of lightning. Crazy thing is a grass cutter in the yard behind us finished right as the storm hit. Then, as I'm watching rain blowing in sheets and close lightning strikes, I see the guy doing the weed-wacking right at the worst of it! I thought I was gonna watch someone get struck

Here's the thunderstorm shield doing its work

Happy to see that nasty cell headed toward me split perfectly in two. I don't want hail! Looks like the same places in Clarksburg that got hail a couple weeks ago are gonna get it again
