Steady rain continues. 76 degrees and 2.13 inches at this point.  Yard is a soggy, green mess. Much different from last couple of summers.  Wonder if we are setting ourselves up for an historic  tropical flood event at some point this season.

We have a Winnah!

A bunch of consecutive HRRR runs have another round of convection overspreading the area towards dawn.   The NAM Nest has a similar idea, although it's weaker with that batch and then a bit heavier with some mid-morning showers.  

I've also heard various media forecasts promoting drier air for Wednesday afternoon, but a clear majority of guidance (minus the always overmixed GFS) keeps our dew points around 70 through Wednesday evening and doesn't really bring in the drier air until early Thursday.  And several models show isolated convection just ahead of the front Wednesday evening.

Columbia 9:45pm  1.59” with rain falling.

I’ll take any rain overnight, but can you arrange for lower dews tomorrow afternoon and evening? Thanks in advance.

Finally back and  late  to party but I was scared for first time in many years as events unfolded on Route 32 around 3pm I don’t even want to recount it so let me read the discussions 

[CAPE]

Getting some decent downpours this morning. Up to 0.95"

[aldie 22]

Heading to the beach for the weekend looks like a shitty travel day but possibly a spectacular rest of the week??

[CAPE]

The last half hour or so is the most impressive rainfall I have seen here in a month.

Up to 1.3" for the event. That's a little more than half the total rainfall for June.

[Terpeast]

Total 1.13”, may get a few hundredths more per radar. But pretty happy that I didn’t have to water the garden

[IronTy]

Still raining in huntingtown. Haven't had a 12hr period like this in a number of years.  Tons of lightning last night, Benson wasn't liking it.  Not sure how much I got so far, I need to buy a new rain gauge.  

[weatherCCB]

On and off showers overnight

0.73” since yesterday evening 

[aldie 22]

Cracked 2" total for the event with this morning's rain 

[mappy]

.8 over the last two days 

[BlizzardNole]

Radar looks like very light shower but it's solidly moderate rain coming down.  Efficient rain processes?  It must be pouring in central VA to southern MD

[nw baltimore wx]

.58” 

[GramaxRefugee]

0.47" last evening plus overnight. Have had measurable rain 7 of past 8 days.

Low of 70 today

[Herb@MAWS]

Columbia 1.74” Tuesday pm thru 6 am Wed. 

[CAPE]

Dover radar effed up again. I was looking at it this morning when it was pouring here and it had nothing over me- it was depicting reflectivity from sometime earlier.

[Mrs.J]

0.01” overnight. For the event .50”. I will take it after not having any measurable rain fall since June 28th. 

[PrinceFrederickWx]

24 hour total as of 7am was 2.69" and it's still raining.

[SnowtoRain]

0.63", heaviest rains missed north and just south

Noticed that two days ago. I had to go to the next radar site to the West.  Always seems to be an issue. 

[Jrlg1181]

1.70 - More than a inch fell at some point late over night or very early this morning...

[frd]

.75 here last 24 hours but those two areas to my SW and South have scored with over 1.50 and 2 inches. Bethany Beach with over 4.9 inches of rain this week. Will add to that today and the final push of convection moves East and then offshore. 

 

 

[frd]

Clearing line reaching DC and moving East.  However, dew points are still rather high even at locations far to the West of DC. 

[stormy]

1.85" last 18 hrs.     

 This was a good start for what will be a wet July.   41% of the long-term monthly total during the first 2 days is nothing to sneeze at.

Insanity on 32 near  Ft Meade yesterday at 3.  Sky green and had Midwest tornado look to it, rotating clouds, swirling blinding rain, had to slow to 10 mph , strange noises, easily 50mph winds with higher gusts. After about 10 minutes it eased  up but that’s as bad as I’ve  driven in in 30 years 

[Herb@MAWS]

Just mowed. Not as hot but verrrry humid. 
“Only” 80°.

I was probably right behind you. It got wild when the whiteout of wind driven rain hit. It looked blue outside due to the extreme rainfall. It definitely gave me hurricane chase video vibes. The lightning was also wild.
