Short range models seem to think it's going to be a rainy night for most of the area. 

I'm getting epic bust vibes that could rival last week's over here. 12z 3km NAM depiction looks good for later, but current radar down south doesn't seem to jibe.

Impressive rainfall queueing up just SE of Crozet, VA. Looks like it's aimed right at the mountains again.

I'm not at home right now to check my gauge in Waynesboro,  it was just under 2 inches at 1 this afternoon..  This current SE to NW moisture flow upsloping along the central Blue Ridge looks like some of those events last September...

digital says 0.19" so far for the event W of BWI, which sounds too low compared to my eyeballing rainfall rates, gotta put out an old-school gauge to compare

I don’t think that’s right. BWI is over 0.8”

Agreed. The SE winds were evident on the rainfall disparity earlier today between the Thurmont site in Frederick County, and Keedysville in Washington County. Thurmont was racking up the rainfall, while Keedysville was in a bit of a rain shadow.

Closing in on the record (0.67 in 1999) for the date. Still raining and another heavier batch is south/southeast of us and moving this way. Several reports in western in of the county of flooding and road closures with 2-4 inches of rain reported. We missed the 'train' that came thru earlier in the late morning to early afternoon.

Just under 3" in my yard but I just got back from a trip to Roanoke. On the way back it was straight dumping from the east side of town to the Blue Ridge. Rivers, rocks, and debris on all roads lol.  It was wild. Not like big flood stuff. Just sheets of running water and gutters barfing anything they had in them into the streets lol. My son saw a small tree stump floating down a side street. I was concentrating on driving at the time. Man that S was wild. Weather is awesome :lol:
