4.82" for the day many small branches down this morning.

I did not empty the Cocorahs gauge and measure when I got home 45 minutes ago, but we have well over 4 inches and still raining hard. Standing water everywhere here in Charles County and many road closures.

That trough in the Midwest does NOT look like it is making quick progress to the east, just streaming moisture and storms south to north. The southern end of the trough, out ahead of the actual cold front is moving along, but.....this is not a done deal yet.

DuBois PA has a really nasty rotating storm coming in from the west soon.

500mb winds are west/southwest, but 700mb are still out of the south/southeast.

The timing of the system coming in from the Mississippi Valley seems pretty slow, and the rains from the "tropical" system have made it further northwest than some mentioned yesterday. Any opinions?

1.06" this morning, 1.96" since Saturday and 8.3" for the month. Year to date precipitation 52.46"

1.53" since 8am yesterday

0.93 in the Cocorah's gauge at 8am this morning, 0.78 since 8am. The ground is totally soaked once again. 4.99" since September 1st and 49.15" since January 1st. We do not need Florence.

2.46" yesterday, and 46.65" since January 1.

Wakefield VA radar shows quite a bit of rain and storms heading up into MD, and should impact DC and east toward the bay.

Yeah, the couplet looked tight on TDCA and KLWX just barely west of the 395/Duke St area. It is broader now. I did not see any signature of debris on CC

Looks like Richmond area will have the greatest chance at a bullseye, however there is a new string of convection developing and following the original path across the Bay into Calvert/Charles/PG County. Good luck this evening, and C A P S, CAPS CAPS CAPS!

0.39 in the past 25 minutes, the ground is totally soaked. Water is just accumulating on the top.

Rain has begun here and more showers look to be building along this boundary. Could be quite wet later on.
