Only a few drops of rain at the house but  went for a quick drive earlier and there was a downpour only a few minutes drive away especially towards downtown McLean. Also was in Richmond yesterday and they were getting rocked, very heavy rain and tons of lightning/loud thunder. Some flooding on roadways out that way, a flash flood warning was issued.

So are we just hoisting flood watches when it's humid now?  Pretty sure not a single drop as fallen here.

If you get under one of these cells, it's intense. I received 0.64" of rain in 15 min from a cell today. Also, some of the mesonet soil moisture probes are showing fully saturated soils. For example, our flood sensor on Cabin John Branch at Bradley Blvd showed a 5 foot rise in 40 minutes on Saturday. If that storm over Potomac persisted for another 20 to 30 minutes it would have been real trouble.

This absolutely justifies the flood watches, IMO.

I get all that, but radar was a lot of nothing today.

Surprisingly picked up 1.21 earlier today... From a cell in western Albemarle that started back building to the northern edge of Waynesboro... Usually that will happen in the southern part of town along or south of 64 with nothing up here...
