3.21" is my storm total so far.

We had a lull this morning but the heavy rain has resumed. Storm total is 1.73” so far.

I’d need to see a little more sampling, but this one does look close to hurricane strength per recon…

You need to reel this one in, but slowly; get me to a cat 1 inb4 landfall. 

Based on my prior experience with Isaias, I have a feeling this is going to overperform IMBY.

Final total for today was 2.74".

2.33” and still pouring 

BWI's first half of the year was second-hottest behind 2012, and that was with a below-average May and June. July and August were above-average, and we may have a serious shot at hottest September ever, so I'm issuing a Hottest Year on Record Watch for BWI. 

100 at BWI per daily climate report!

Was just outside watering the eff out of the new grass. Pretty damn humid, but temp is 85.

You know we’re in trouble when even I’ve had to start watering my lawn now. I just assumed IMBY was going to get approximately 40 feet of rain like I do every year lol

Don’t tell me we’re all suffering through this for a bunch of 98’s and 99’s. I want that triple-digit prize!

Serious question, not trolling, because I don’t understand this…

Can someone explain to me why we’re having a La Nina pattern (hot and dry, plus active hurricane season) while we’re in an El Nino? Does ENSO actually matter anymore? 
 

I’ve been ranting about this for years, but IMHO the best evidence in this region of climate change is what’s happened to September. It’s basically become the new August. This upcoming one looks to be no different.

I mean Bermuda and Nova Scotia have been tropical system magnets in recent years so... 

The 180 degree turn is what I found so crazy, not the hitting Nova Scotia part. 

No one commented on the hilarious 6z GFS track? Does a 180 out at sea, looks like its about to come crashing back into Delaware, then says "nah, I'll just hit Nova Scotia"

What the heck is going on to our south. Huge wall of water down there. Is that coming north. Kinda looks like its trying. 

I took the kids down to Richmond today and it was a nonstop 2-hour wall of water driving back on 301. (Fortunately we did indoor stuff )

Well that GFS run is different  

Letter I storm? Check.

My upcoming trip to the Outer Banks? Check.

We're good to go.

Southern Maryland cell is trying for a last hurrah. 

Yeah this one has performed better IMBY than round 1 earlier this evening.

Surprised that filled in for us- heavy rains now.

The Calvert split is back, I haven’t seen this in ages. Light rain here but looking like a miss mostly.

0.81” today. If only I was as good at snow and Powerball as I am at rain… 

I've had to water the yard for the first time in like five years.  Getting kind of droughty now, I didn't think that was possible IMBY. 

Still 82 here… The trend I keep noticing in this region in recent years is that we just don’t cool off at night anymore. That’s how BWI got hottest month ever in July 2020 despite no record highs. Same idea.

I've actually been getting shutout with rain lately.

Winter is coming... 

I could even smell it here, it's a very distinct smell that I recognize from the last time. I think someone on here said it smells like burning carpet- that's a good description.
