Jersey wildfires and northeast flow will get you every time.

That’s a crazy gradient from one of those early developing stationary storms yesterday

Yep. Can verify from near downtown silver spring that we only got like a tenth, enough to wet the grass. But it felt like a monsoon was coming - lots of lightning and thunder. We missed it.

My f-i-l just texted me about that. And I saw a tweet about it being bad in Baltimore too. But nothing noticeable in Columbia.

Incredibly smoky in Parkton. Smells awful. 

[IronTy]

No sign of any smoke down here in the swampy lowlands.  We didn't get a ton of rain last night, less than 1/2".  But it's wet and soupy out.  Good moth weather.  

[Kay]

Super smoky.

Same here, low visibility all things considered and a strong smell of smoke. Weekends have had clouds and rain here 11 out of 15 , now add nasty smoke particulates.

Yep, huge differences here. Some of the area got 1/3-1/2 inch (0.34 here), then a stripe from far western Alleghany up into southern Bath county got like 2-3 inches. Pushed Dunlap creek up 2-2.5 feet and Jackson river up a foot or so (and muddy) with rest of creeks and rivers in area barely moving.

Yeah, visibility is shit here too. Smells terrible. It rained earlier and left splotches of ash on my car

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
1011 AM EDT Sat Jun 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A stalled frontal boundary will continue to oscillate over the
region through the weekend bringing increased chances for showers
and thunderstorms. Thunderstorm activity will be tied to the
afternoon and evening hours with flash flooding and locally damaging
winds as the primary threats. The front lifts north as a warm front
Tuesday into Wednesday with a strong cold front expected to cross
late next week. Temperatures will remain at or above average through
the period.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

A stationary front is currently positioned over the northern DC
metro. This boundary will become the focus for the development
of heavy showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and into
this evening. Based on morning HiRes guidance, we have expanded
the Flood Watch for flash flooding to the NE to include parts
of the Baltimore metro along with parts of northern MD and
eastern panhandle of WV. The environment this afternoon and into
afternoon will be favorable for efficient rainfall with PW`s
approaching 2 inches this afternoon and saturated through much
atmospheric column. This environment will be favorable for
hourly rain rates between 2 to 4 inches being possible with
instantaneous rain rates approaching 6 inches per hour
possible.

Yikes, you all aren't kidding.  Nothing noticeable down here.

I thought it was fog and/or mist when I woke up until I went to let the dogs out and was hit with the smell.

Environments like this are notorious for significant heavy rain potential. 99th percentile PWATs for the day

Ended up with 2.13” in a very short amount of time. 4” on the nose for the month in MLP. Now in Richmond for Fathers Day and hope we get some goods later on with a juicy airmass.

Gorgeous amount of humidity

[jewell2188]

Some pretty significant flash flooding last night here in culpeper county. Driving around between 10-11pm. Had to turn around several times. Seems it will not take much today to cause issues!!!!

Your area has been getting the action lately. Let's keep the big heat out in the lakes region. Let's get those lakes nice and warm.

In Parkville right now and it's hazy here too. Where's it coming from? (Not still Canada is it?)

[Terpeast]

Hoping I get another chance for significant rainfall today with the expanded flood watch

[stormy]

A severe storm with 45 mph winds 6:00 - 6:45 Friday evening.

White out  conditions with 2.75" rain in 45 minutes.

Many trees down, my power was out 18.5 hours.

That stuff in SW, VA is liking the environment we have in place. It's a tropical jungle out here in the lowland forest.

Sun popping out here and windows are fogging up. Tropical out there.

Got a little warmer here than I expected.  Sun has finally made its appearance, though certainly not a blue sky kinda day.  The lower visibilities are apparent when looking south towards Sugarloaf (which I can hardly see) and w/nw to the Catoctin's.  

[CAPE]

Smokey. Can smell it and see it. I guess the NE breeze is a bit stronger. Didn't really notice anything earlier in the day.

[Kay]

I drove from Harford Co. to Baltimore and out of the dense smoke zone around noon. Have been on the 9th floor at Hopkins watching the view gradually get smokier all afternoon.
