coolio Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Coagulating reds/yellows seem to be dispersing. If there is training along the dc/bwi corridor should be more moderate rain, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Rain definitely lessening in intensity. I bet BWI hardly picked up anything from this. Just a bit too far east to feel the worst of the impact before things started to die down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Afternoon was pretty nice out except for a little humid. Sun kept breaking through the clouds. Rain started about 10 minutes ago. Pounding against the house right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 What's the closest gauge to Ellicott City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 None of the nearby gauges are near flood stage (AHPS website) - I think it is HoCo concerned about what might be coming, not what has already fallen - the radar estimates put the heavy rain totals just east of Ellicot City, not west which causes city flooding.

(note - on a tablet - hard to type) Wouldn't it be heavy rain just west of EC that causes flooding, as it runs down the hill? My guess is EC is safe, but probably only because the rain started to fade as it approached. Had the rain come in a bit earlier, it could have been a bit of a problem.

coolio Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 .96 for this afternoon event. Initially, we got big goblets of rain, which I thought would be a real downpour, but that only lasted a few minutes. The .96" was more spread out, light to moderate rain.. Didn't get the big amounts that N. Arlington received. Another comparison: DCA got .67, Apparently, the setup is for the same beginning Monday. Sad to say I'm going overseas and will miss it. Maybe I'll check in (but not comment). The big overperformer for the past few days in my area was that Saturday event where DCA got 4" and I got 4.80".
