Crazy storm last night here in Harford County. I haven't seen winds like that in a while. Large branches down all over my neighborhood. Heard a crazy woosh noise...possible microburst? 3.25" of rain and a fully flooded basement :/

Excessive rainfall discussion from WPC-

South/Central Appalachians/OH Valley/Mid-Atlantic/Northeast...

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will move across the region ahead of an approaching cold front from the northwest. Ahead of this boundary, very moist and unstable air will be in place. Some weak impulses moving atop this environment should support scattered to widespread convection. Precipitable water values will climb to around 2 inches aided by light southwesterly flow. This is around 1.5-2 standard deviations above the mean. Instability will be modest with MUCAPE values around 1000 J/kg. While convection is expected to move at a decent pace eastward, multiple rounds moving over pockets of lower FFG could result in isolated flash flooding across this region. Not to mention, as the front starts to sag south across southern New England, the propagation vectors will align with the mean wind parallel to the front. This will result in training of convection in some locations. Given this and the convection observed from yesterdays activity, a Marginal Risk was expanded across a large portion of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic southward into southern Appalachians and north into the OH Valley. Worked with the local offices and coordinated an upgrade to a Slight Risk across much of the central/southern Appalachians where HREF probabilities were fairly decent and FFG values were fairly low.

In classic DC fashion the monthly 90-degree record of 25 no longer looks like a simple victory. 

Still tracking for 3rd hottest all-time, even with the cool down at the end of the month.

We do have some room although have not tested what would bring it below 2010. NBM is 83.6, which is down 0.2 from last night. 90 deg today would make me more comfortable on the count win. My gut says we will get it.

Those both had nothing for me Monday and tuesday and I got rain.  It also screwed up the DC split too.  

The CAMs have sucked the past few days. Must be something about this type of pattern/ air mass, with generally hard to pinpoint regions of forcing.

Hrrr has the party going through the overnight as well.  Looking at Nam  h5 vorticity it looks to support some extra forcing overnight . I'm rooting for 4 convective rounds imby totalling 2-3" :raining:

Certainly looks like activity could persist all night. Fun stuff.
