WxReese Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 We had a nice downpour here in Charlottesville. One of the reporting stations had a rain rate of 6.13" per hour at one point! Another one close by had 4.2" per hour. Definitely some impressive rains to be had out there with more bands expected to develop later tonight. Specially when the band that just went through here gets near Culpeper in the next few hours. Going to be quite the rain event for y'all up there.

My basement only gets water in mechanical failures, so as long as my plumbing, water heater, and whole-house humidifer are in working order, bring on the flood! I agree that the radar is cool to watch, so I can't complain there. It's only happened to me once, but I don't feel like pushing it again. Wife and I have recently been talking about getting the sump pump setup upgraded, so this is hitting home again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's going to be interesting to see how this thing really comes together. I wonder how the folks up North around NE Fairfax into Maryland are going to do with the stratiform portion of the system. Are those bonus rains "The Show ", or is it going to just dog pile on top? I know where my rain is coming from and I will have it within the hour. That's where I will get my one or 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stratiform rains will get them too. Record books will be rewritten for them after this is done. Anyone in MD had enough rain yet? Just drive on down to Woodbridge. You'll catch a break, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just passed by on the bus and the creek is already overflowing it's banks and moving water through the soccer fields (read: flood plains)...I can only imagine after tomorrow what the creek will look like.

ErinInTheSky Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Total additional precip on top of what's already fallen from HRRR: Devestating for MoCo and AA. Calls for 4-5" for me which would put me at 8-9" when all is said and done. Also the area currently getting pounded up for an additional 3" in and around DC.
