[CAPE]

Doing well here so far. 0.80" from this storm and 1.65" since Sunday afternoon.

The worm has turned after a pretty bad June. I think the total was 2.5".

[wawarriors4]

Big dud in my part of Stafford 0.0” for the day, hope tomorrow can make up for it. 

[Herb@MAWS]

0.45” with late afternoon storm. 

[weatherCCB]

Picked up 0.37” with afternoon line.

Looks like we may have a 2nd round at midnight.

Pretty cool storm here. Gusty winds and lots of T&L. Had a really close strike. Looks like any potential severe would be in the southern part of the line in Talbot county.

I thought it was going to be a quick straight line hit down this way but it stalled and was pulsing intensity, 1.00"

[Mrs.J]

.28” out of that warned storm this afternoon. 

[JenkinsJinkies]

Looks like Chantal was a bust in DC

My rain gauge had an electronic issue and was not working for this storm to measure rainfall.

This NWS site link shows I only received  .11  of rain from the two storms. I have a hard time with that because it poured here, granted the storm did not last long. 

Anyone know how reliable this link is

Hope tomorrow's FFW turns out better than today's 0.0

I've never seen so many ffw and severe thunderstorm watches. When I was a kid they were just summer thunderstorms lol

Wow. Nothing at all like that. 0.35-0.4” of rain. Fine but unremarkable summer storm.

     Yeah, the downburst was somewhat localized.   Finally got power restored after 6 hours.    Got 0.82" today.   Unsure tomorrow whether the heavy rains will come north of DC.

[Ji]

.10

The only place I needed it not to rain today was Claude Moore park and they got 1.30

[JakkelWx]

crazy light show right around sunset and after. one got way too close and sounded like bombs.

[dailylurker]

Richmond has been getting nailed all night.

There are 2 stations in the Middletown area, and 2 more north/northeast of there.

Are we ever going to get out of this pattern?

Probably the difference with so many ffw is the amount of impervious ground cover has increased since we were kids. There is less buffer for rain to soak into before it hits the rivers and creeks. 

I'm not sure what pattern is causing this but the thunderstorms this season seem more "tropical" and not frontal. Last night looked like a typical frontal passage t-storm. Prior to that we had those meandering pop up storms that dump a ton of rain in a small area then go poof.

I love watching storms roll through the beach in the evening. Took this pic last night as the first line was coming through. There were a surprising number of idiots still on the beach even with thunder and visible lightning.

Mid September.

[dailylurker]

I'm surprised we're not seeing headlines from Richmond this morning. It looks like storms sat over the same area all night. 

The models today really like the lowlands. They suggest stationary cells develop and sit over the lowlands due to a sea breeze boundary. Than storms roll in over the same area from the west. 

[frd]

DP a little lower this morning despite the steam effect from all the rain.

DP at 73 presently. Better dog walking weather this morning.

Looks like there were some 3"+ amounts just west and south of Richmond. Probably occurred over a long enough period of time that it didn't cause much of a problem.

11z hrrr gets my full endorsement. Mod risk of excessive rainfall between RIC and CHO today. Slight severe risk for entire area.

Clear skies for a bit today.

On my ride to the gym this morning there were large 2-3ft tulip trees down all over on the road about a mile from my house.  Must've been some serious localized winds.  They were blocking driveways and side streets everywhere.  Free firewood for somebody...

Oh look, still fogged in on that sat pic (and it was). But now partly cloudy and the steam bath has returned. Currently 81.0/73.1 at 10:45 am with hazy partly cloudy skies. HI 86.0. Still 10 trillion percent better than the 97/98 degree days with 75 to 77 DP's we had for a few days in north-central MO!
