Always good for a laugh when areas 100 miles further away from Ida remnants are getting crushed while we have yet to get sprinkled on. Lol.

1.05" yesterday evening brings total since May 3 to 7.32". Nearly 3" of that in the last 2 weeks, or since right before Henri. It has turned decidedly "wetter" out here.

Didn't realize you're part of the county had been missing them too. Hopefully, we all get a good dousing tomorrow. Cloudy in Winchester.

I can't think of a more terrifying scenario than of children swimming in, or playing near, local water spots with an unexpected and unseen threat such as this around. Almost no one at this latitude would even suspect this. It's a tragedy waiting to happen.

So it's close to a residential area, and the concern is that rednecks come and shoot up the area?? That is a whole new level of stupidity. Of course, why should I be surprised. These are the same idiots who are being outsmarted by an alligator.

Why on earth has no one trapped that thing, before it ends up killing a child?

Some big rain totals over some mountainous terrain. Bad combination.

Amazingly, finally scored a hit. 1 - 2 punch of decent storm. Best stuff slid just north, but scraped between .6 and .7 I'd bet. Still lightning too close to go out and check. Have to check in the morning. This was the last of the storms for the evening based on radar, so that was a huge score. PWS just north have between 1 and 1.5 inches. I live 1/2 mile too far south. *eta Oh hell, I underestimated. At least 1" in the gage! Hard to see exactly in the dark with a flashlight, but def an inch. Man, that just felt good.

Good to see we start flood week off with a bang. Missed storms in every possible direction today. In peak form for Ida's pass.

I've had about 2 feet of Euro rains this summer. If only I'd have planted digital pumpkins and digital corn this year..... That model is broke. I'd like to kick it right in its CPU. *eta If that map actually verified it would cause severe river flooding of the Shenandoah and Potomac.

It's over. This ends up being 50% chance of storms, which will strike the usual places. If it's been raining on you all summer long, congrats you're going to get a little more.

I expect .3". I feel a lot less confident in even that much after the 6Z runs.

Bye bye , Ida. One more shift like that and we are 90F partly cloudy and left praying for a thunderstorm in the warm sector.

Of course.

Yeah, with only 10". Lol. I assume that someone accidentally hit the winter button on the Commodore 64 and the model has applied Kuchera ratios.

WTF is wrong with that model? 20" of rain. Lol.

Right smack in the middle. Will make my .3" of fail all the more impressive.

Add .16" from midweek "storms" and the .6" yesterday. Brings the total since May 3 to 6.27". Euro and NAM say I get that much Thursday. Lol. I'll take the way, way under, but that'd be funny.

And that's how you know it is BS.

With a track that inland we are likely to switch over to rain.

That crappy pole and that little strap is all that held that camera?? Amazing.

There was never a doubt in my mind. The only question is whether gas can hit $4 per gallon next week.

But only for 3 more months!

Now it's starting to get a clue.

Close. Got .6" out of nearly 4 hours of thunderstorms. Got about 15 minutes of light rain out of the storm that went overhead. As it exploded after getting to my east I was able to get about 10 minutes of a decent downpour from the rear flank. After that it was off and on drizzle as thunder rocked all around. Storms kept sliding just to my north, then east of me. PWS near the lake, just about a mile away, got 1.3". Places at the tip of the county must have got a couple inches. Basically, the kids got to go trick- or-treating and I got a caramel apple. How'd you do?
