For non-tropical, you may well be right. Almost 5.2" in a single day. That blows away anything I've seen here in my time. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 1.8 inches near Reston, we’ll see if anything else can get added with a storm or two today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Columbia east side. Big night of rain. 1.38” since 8:30pm Tuesday bringing total to 2.65” as of 8am Wednesday for event with ongoing drizzly light rain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looking at the 2-day totals on CoCoRaHS, there are a bunch of 4”+ readings, especially between Charlottesville and Winchester, Cumberland, and even one near Woodbridge/Dale City where the training set up nicely yesterday. CAMs are indicating that someone gets dumped on again today, but far less widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Maybe round #2 developing in Southern VA? I wonder if that could be the thunderstorms for later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Sounds like an area-wide cutting the drought in half (with total obliteration in some spots). Nice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not tropical, there was a deep feed of tropical moisture, I believe from the Gulf traveling North nearly 1,500 miles. Very impressive indeed ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks like Garrett and Allegany counties got hit much harder than originally though. Pretty significant debris management operations ongoing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrlg1181 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 3.02 total here... Everything just looks and feels fresher outside - plants gardens grass... 6 to 7 inch totals apparently just to my east by 4 or 5 miles along the spine of the Blue Ridge inside the Park.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty significant debris management operations ongoing. Georges Creek which runs from Savage Mountain south to the Potomac at Westernport took out roads and bridges in towns like Barton and Lonaconing. Folks who live on the hillsides above those bridges are cut off with no way out except on foot. Tough for older folks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive indeed ! Growing up on the Gulf Coast, I noted a few times in my head yesterday that the low clouds and quick movement of the lower layers looked very tropical in nature. Have not been outside today to see if it's the same as yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty significant debris management operations ongoing. East of the ECD got nailed. Those of us on the west facing slopes (upslope favored areas in winter) fared much, much better. I am at 1.89" for a storm total. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not been outside today to see if it's the same as yesterday. 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. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at 1.89" for a storm total. My station was around 2" as well. Hopefully enough to top off DCL before Memorial Day, It's come up considerably in the past 6 weeks, but as of last weekend you could still see the waterline on the bridge pier to suggest it was still below normal for the time of year.

Mrs.J Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Frederick Scanner reporting a water rescue in Walkersville at Devilbiss Bridge Rd./ Monocacy River. Apparently someone put in a kayak and it was found without the Kayaker. Also mountain rescue on Appalachian Trail at Annapolis Rock.
