Snuck in a bike ride and got home just in time. Looking really dark and rain just started. The drought is unofficially over. Frederick has completed a remarkable comeback.

So pouring here. Not sure about the warning as it is just heavy rain. No wind at all.

Oh, look.  More storms for the usual affected areas.  By the time this year ends, places Frederick and east are going to have 10x the rainfall as here.

Not going to count my chickens before they hatch here. Even with these systems that push down from the N it is not unusual to get a split in my area of Frederick Co. Even looking at the current movement of this line it is looking like my area in SW Frederick Co may just get missed or grazed to the East.

That is one hell of a line of storms sinking south from PA.

Yep the youngest Ms. J just called me. She goes to Dickinson in Carlisle and is stuck in the dinning hall. 

Went to bed last night wondering why the AC was running so much. Looked at outside temp at 11 and said it was 84. Question answered. Looks like the low this morning was 71.8 at 6:49 am. Going on 10 and back up to 80 already with 80 for humidity.

Welcome to Meteorological Fall! 

It will feel like it eventually. I promise. 

Good because I am in Soup mode!

Storm has pushed through. Double rainbow and a beautiful cooler 68 out. Still a lot of thunder and lightning to my East. Picked up .51”. 

Storm just hit. Rain and the lights keep flickering.

This storm has some violent lightning associated with it.

Do not like that. That storm back in July that had the violent lightning with it is what fried our garage door opener. We have a whole house surge protector on our panel but we think because my daughter was opening the door when the lightning was crazy is what did it. 

Looks like it is about to get spicy here. Mr. J is on his way home looks like he will make it in just in time.

1”+ might be at play here. FCC already over a half inch.

Will see I am at .56” right now and there is that massive red blob coming my way. The entirety of 15 from Point of Ricks to Leesburg is sitting under it. 

Rain has started. With a lot of thunder and lightning. 

Wow Dover DE!

Thankfully the parched ecosystem of Frederick county is getting tropical rains @dailylurker

I am taking all we can get. Our last two summers were crunchy down here in the SW of the county. Being in the largest county in MD the Northern portion had gotten all the rain the two previous summers. 70 is a definite dividing line up here.

Heard thunder here, but looks like I’m gonna only get fringed and I’m ok with that.

Pouring here right now and under that Thunderstorm Warning. 

Sun has broke through over here. 85/76/77

Seeing the lightning off of those storms to the South all the way up here.

75°+ dews will do that!

Seemed to be parked under a gully washer. Up to .77” now with a rate of 4.37. And there is more behind it. Have my submit a report up for the NWS when this has moved out. For sure will be over an inch. 

Just now, 87storms said:

I’m not that surprised. It was legitimately humid out again. That is the number 1 difference between this summer and the previous few. Mid 70 dews is gulf coast level.

Current rate is 1.37” up to .24” already. Water is streaming down the windows the gutter cannot keep up. 

Pouring! 

Well my area went back to look at that storm coming in, oh wait it is Ballenger Creek que up the split and then reform just to the East.

.20 so far today.  2.0 for the month so far.  Much better than last year in SW Frederick area.

Finally! It has been nice to see green and not brown.

Periodic showers all day so far with neighborhood gauges showing 0.5”+.

Yep I at .62” as of now. 

Nice sound to this rain this morning. Decent moderate rain just moved in. I cracked the window to listen. 

Mr. J won tickets to see the NSO at Wolf Trap tonight. Occasional slight breeze but sticky night.

That ranks up there (down there?) with @H2O's Vienna sausages in gelatin!

If combined they may elevate the gelatin Vienna sausages
