Radar blowing up along 95 and other parts of Hoco. I see a lot of wet coming my way.

Hopefully EC doesn’t get overwhelmed. Up here, I’m surrounded but still not more than spittle imby. Based on how slow everything is moving, I’m okay with the miss so far.

[WeatherShak]

Heavy downpour produced a quick .6 inches. I’m over 9 inches of rain now total since June 1st in Alexandria/Mount Vernon.

LWX morning update implies chance for fairly large area to be in a flash flood watch later. May be another day like yesterday: feast or famine.

Thank you for sacrificing 

[EastCoast NPZ]

91 / 79 and full sun (again).

Near 80F dewpoints for days on end and not a drop of rain.

Most of the rain has been stolen by Nelson / Albemarle Counties the past week... Lol its astonishing how many storm clusters have repeatedly developed there night and day lately... Multiple ffw the past few days... Look at the radar another huge cluster over the same place already !

Same here so far.

[IronTy]

Watching those storms in charles county but they seem to be stuck there and not moving east much.   Clouds have rolled in to Calvert at least so it's not as bad outside.  Checking the cams up in DC and it's pouring at the house up there.

I'll send you my PayPal ID.  If it's not too much trouble, throw in a couple 6-packs.

0.98” here in 35 minutes.

tapering off now

 

[Terpeast]

Will be interesting to see how the outflows from the i-95 storms interact those coming out of the west.

Caught the edge of a good downpour (which I was grocery shopping in). About 0.2”

[aldie 22]

So far the same as my calorie deficit for the day 0

[GATECH]

0 for the last few days in the rain department.  Today is halfway pleasant, lots of outflow boundaries keeping the air moving with towers blowing up around, but periods of blue sky and sun.  Current temp 85. 

[Herb@MAWS]

3pm Columbia:  still raining steady and rather light, temp down to 79, eyeballing approx 2/10” since about noon, will measure later. 

[MN Transplant]

Got almost an inch earlier.  Not as electrical as yesterday’s storms.

[dailylurker]

I'm not sure we need a flood watch today. Seems like the boy who cried wolf. Looks like the activity is winding down for the day. Not bad at all today. Nice breeze, cloudy and not that hot. 

[WxUSAF]

Hrrr has been insistent with a line of storms coming off the mountains and into the metros near and after midnight 

[IronTy]

Where'd all the rain go?  Just disappeared.   

[Herb@MAWS]

Sun is out.
0.20” today.

Temp back up to 85. 

[pazzo83]

never ending mid-upper 70s dewpoints.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Truly bizarre the lack of sustaining any convection with this airmass.  Have had some storms blow up nearby today then simply disintegrate into nothing.  Another dropless day.

Light winds/low shear means pulsy convection for now. That should change going forward with some UL energy and a front approaching.

Just a couple days until the halfway point of Met summer. After that we have extended summer for a month or so before actual Fall begins lol.

Raven's training camp begins in 2 days when rookies report. I can feel it coming..

Damn skunk still living in my neighborhood
