1.39” of rain today at mi casa. Got absolutely smoked between 6-640 from the line. Rain rate max was 2.56”/hr. 1.1” fell in 35 min. Great day of rain and thunder around here. Feel for those that sadly have to deal with tree damage. The consequence of these things blowing through. Sterling and Mount Holly were plenty busy today.

There were some pretty solid indications of warm rain processes being intertwined with standard mid-latitude dynamics that helped create a pretty hefty rainfall footprint across the region. Not as connected today, but PWATs remain pretty high with IAD coming in around the 90th percentile for the daily 12z sounding.

Obviously some of these stations are incorrect, but a majority did a great job capturing the event. The winner was down in the Central BR with over 7" for the primary event (Sawmill Ridge). Those RAWS stations are very reputable and maintained by the Forest Service. BWI at almost 3" is wild. It absolutely dumped buckets there last night.

2.56” for main event here in Londontowne. Man was this needed. Thank goodness

0.69" so far in my neighborhood. About to head home from work. Hopefully pick up a nice dousing overnight.

The weather today is sublime for May. My walk this morning was 3.28 miles of bliss. I will enjoy every second before the heat and humidity rears its ugly head in a month.

I drove through an insane thunderstorm on Thursday out by Cumberland on my travels to Kentucky. Ended up calling Sterling and reporting flooding (Issued a FFW afterwards) and verifying the warning out. That was the worst storm I’ve driven through since I moved from Texas. Hopefully the area gets some beneficial rain from this storm. We desperately need a gully washer.

Got up to 81F yesterday in my neighborhood. Highest so far this year. Definitely felt the sun strength on the walk today along with the warmer temperatures. Summer is around the corner and the sweat will be pouring off my forehead pretty regularly. Life in the Mid Atlantic!

I am in legit tears reading the random post from someone recently in the January Banter thread. The reactions are the icing on the cake Where on earth did that come from?

Outside a few roughish days this month, there have been some absolute banner days this April. Today is no exception. It’s absolutely immaculate out. I woke up from night shift sleep to enjoy this. 72° in Edgewater

Missed the Caps game due to work, but was following along. Need to tighten up 3rd periods, but they did play fast and got the job done. Ovi is on a mission it seems, I love it!! Let’s Go Caps!

Damnit, I miss all the “fun”

He might be a dead prospect, which is absolutely nothing the Orioles can do about it. They can’t foresee it when they draft. It’s just insane the terrible pitching luck this team has had. Felix last year along with Bradish and Wells. This year…..everyone that is good

What a difference an elevation makes. 38F down by the Bay and low-30s not far inland. It was a nice and crisp morning. I dig it

Sunday and Monday will end up being the cooler days when assessing the Fri-Mon time frame. The frontal effects will be most felt across the northern half of the region with a pretty sharp delineation somewhere bisecting Central MD. I can see it making it as far as the Potomac, so basically a lean to climo. 70s and 80s for Fri-Sat, 60s and 70s for Sun-Mon. Can't say I hate it. I'll take that over 40s and 50s any day.
