When I was a kid you wouldn't see this stuff unless it was actually going to rain. It's really dark and been raining hard in the Woodlawn area for almost an hour now.

Sparky Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I picked up .66" just after midnight in a moderate thunderstorm. Looking through radar loops looks like Baltimore was in more pervasive stronger activity about an hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool site. Looks like I got somewhere around 3 to as much as 4 inches last night, though I guess maybe a little less than that since I had a couple of short-lived downpours during the day.

The top stations are now going over 60" on the year. 50"+ is pretty common too. I'm at 52.58". Amazing how our totals are nearly identical. I'm at 53.07. And reviewing and remembering the spread on how we got the rain was completely different. I received 1.95 from Flo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Tremendous overpwrformer for a strip from Richmond to northeast MD. One of the biggest t&l downpours ever for midnight into early morning hours 4.7” total here from 11pm to 3 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 3 hours ago, MN Transplant said: With nocturnal elevated convection, there is a stable layer at the surface with an unstable layer above. What can happen in these situations is that the thunder can be "ducted" and can be heard at longer distances. That’s what was happening. Flash, then count to around 20, then house shaking thunder that usually only happens when elapsed time is 1-4 seconds, not 20. great explanation-Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I bookmarked that site. I'm not sure how accurate it is though. That site has me at close to 2" in the last 24 hours through noon today, but my rain gauge has me at nearly 4" through noon today, including over 1" from today's late-morning downpour. Today's rain put me over 9" for the month. Good job by the Euro on picking up on the stripe of heavy rainfall. It didn't get the details right, but none of the other globals saw something like this (though the Ukie was close). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Given the rainfall rates and totals overnight, I was surprised there wasn't a lot more flash flooding around the area. Seems like very few problems, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 No significant rain since last Tuesday I believe. I will get the sprinkler going this evening, since I just planted grass seed out back over the weekend. Soil already getting dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolio Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Got a really dumping of rain around the lunch hour here. I missed it as I was at work. Looked like your basic yellow cell on radar, but my rain gauge said it dumped .80 or so. Also, the city drain is loudly gurgling water so I know it was a lot. Or, it's probably saturated rain that has to go into the Cheasapeake. Total over this 2 day period is 2.36". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluges followed by 2+ week dry periods. My soil is too well drained + big hardwoods all around and it gets dry real quick. Been hit and miss for sure, but still around 44" for the year. September so far is 4.1", but most of that fell in a 48 hour period. It is what it is. At least no mosquitoes! Looking forward to the lower dews and 'coolish' air for a few days though.
