    Those orographic effects are crazy. I saw an annual rainfall map and his area averages something like 30 inches, while areas not too far away are over 60! He should have a rock garden LOL. I missed all the rain yesterday as well. It got close and we actually went under a warning at one point but it fell apart.

    Just sat outside for about two hours. So gorgeous! Perfect weather tomorrow for a college visit to Catholic U with our soon-to-be 12th grader.

    It's happy now, that was some much needed rain! 2.05 total. Luckily my yard drains well but the houses behind us, not so much. Their small back yards turn into rivers anytime it rains hard. One more round possible today then we bask in gorgeous weather tomorrow.

    Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I got home at 6:30, saw the blank radar, and went out to water my parched gardens. A few fat drops started splashing down so I looked at Radarscope and saw a small shower developing overhead. Meh, kept watering. It suddenly darkens and starts raining pretty hard, so I stop and come in. WOW! That cell exploded over us giving us about 1 inch in 20-30 minutes, with decent CTG lightning. Then more formed just SW and trained over us. Finally winding down with about 2 inches in the gauge. Below is the shot of the first cell over me just minutes after it formed, and a wide shot showing how isolated it was.

    I remember hearing about people on I-70 getting caught from behind by that derecho because it was moving so fast. That is crazy.

    Hope everyone is staying safe amid all the severe weather and flooding. Remain vigilant!

    Did someone say thunderstorms? Bwahahahahaha! I was confident in no rain so I watered everything heavily this morning. All this talk of multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms this week. Psssshhh. I am calling it now -- shutout.

    Alright sun coming back out and it's 77/66. Need to build up come instability.

    Wasn't expecting overcast and light rain at mid-day. Does this impeded severe chances for later today? I am coming out from under my weather blocking shield and going to Gaithersburg for dinner, and am hoping to see a thunderstorm.

    We have beggars at intersections around here and they have some creative signs. Saw one this morning that said "TV meteorologist out of work." LOL that's a new one.

    Got a total of 1.05 which is great after getting only 0.9 over the previous 30 days. Hoping to cash in on some showers next week. Can't believe it's 55 and breezy out! I saw Oakland at 43 with 26 mph winds. Wow!

    Finally! After weeks of little to no rain and cracks opening in my parched yard, got 0.6 so far and still raining at a nice light/mod pace. It would be nice to top it off with some showers this afternoon.
  13. BlizzardNole
    Yeah here too. My bar is 0.5 which would be more than the last few weeks combined.
  14. BlizzardNole
    Move that decimal point for me -- a whopping 0.15 for the "event." No significant rain since mid-May.
  15. BlizzardNole
    Yep. I've had 0.25 since May 23 and 0.75 since May 13. I was hopeful for good rain since we do stratiform fine here - we just don't do thunderstorms. Now this is looking more like a thunderstorm event Monday afternoon/evening and a shut-out is on the table.
  16. BlizzardNole
    Nice video ge0 - thanks for posting! Hard to believe that's so close -- I am just N of the intersection of 355 and Rt 27 and got 0.15 of rain and nothing else. Clarksburg just as close to my north got a strong storm too. This spot and Stephens City are uncanny.

    Are you there? What part? I am 2 mile NE Germantown in the Milestone area, and have whiffed on everything again. Saw purple on radar 2-3 miles north from one cell, then 2 miles south with this one. Got nothing more than a brief shower. I'm curious to know what those storms were like in Germantown and Gaithersburg - they looked wild on radar.
  18. BlizzardNole
    Bwahaha now that's Damascus for you!
  19. BlizzardNole
    My bar is 0.3 of rain. Anything else, lightning etc., is gravy.
  20. BlizzardNole
    Missed both rounds, got about 0.1 from a light shower. Just 0.6 since May 13.
  21. BlizzardNole
    Well that escalated quickly. Nice looking hook on that storm in FredCo.
  22. BlizzardNole
    Well it's gonna be a hot one for me. HVAC shut down at work yesterday so they sent us off at 3 PM and we are closed today. Then my house AC went out and they're coming tomorrow evening. I'd LOVE to get a thunderstorm this afternoon to cool the roof off, but ol' Germantown is starting to get back to form missing all recent storms; only 0.5 since May 13.

    Just drove from Calvert back to Germantown and saw quite the lightning show to the N and E. Not a drop for the drive though. While in Calvert this afternoon, I watched three storms train just 2-4 miles north of us over about an hour. It was nice because we were able to sit out and enjoy mid 70s and a breeze instead of 90 like we had dreaded. When we drove through Dunkirk (northern Calvert) on the way back, there was a thick fog hanging in the trees like a rainforest. They must have really gotten drenched.

    Looks like very light/calm winds on Sat so it'll get warm (but at least not super-hot like Sunday). You'd have loved a steady S or SE breeze -- I've seen it 85 in Crofton and 60-something in Annapolis with that breeze off the bay this time of year. Enjoy the wedding.

    I got 2.7" over last weekend and have 4.7 for May so far. I really want some warm, sunny weather to get my flower garden going that I planted last Saturday. My vincas and marigolds look unhappy and my tropical milkweeds are just sleeping.
