The area between Pikesville and Columbia (Catonsville area) has been hit all year. All that I got was a few drops out of this storm.

Emptied the bowl but play continues. What a joke. 

Gonna miss MBY and barely rain here. Bust

That outflow boundary that originated with the storms in SE PA and SNJ hours ago is initiating new storms on the upper eastern shore. A nice cell popped up around Chestertown and is heading in this general direction if it doesnt fall apart. With a 20-30% chance I didn't bother covering the mower. Maybe that was a good move lol.

Yup, having a moderate shower here currently. Could have been better, as the earlier storm missed to the East.

That was fun. Gusty with lots of T&L. Direct hit. Picked up 0.85" in a hurry. There is a second line moving this way but it's a bit broken so we shall see.

Mower is all wet lol but no need to get up early and water plants! It gets dry here quickly if it doesn't rain for a few days this time of year.

The Ridgely MD Mesonet station picked up 1.10" in 20 min. That's impressive.

Yup that's 3 miles SW of me. Rain rates were impressive. I thought I had more but I am in the woods and my station has some tree branches overtop. Unavoidable here.

[CAPE]

Just shy of 6.5" for the month here now.

Really wasn't expecting much of anything tonight given the forecast and the meso models. Sunday always looked like the better bet here. That would be bonus now. 

[EastCoast NPZ]

Got about 10 drops.  

Every July here is the same.

A very pleasant afternoon at 79 degrees.

Convective action in the I-81 corridor has spiced up the afternoon.

75 at Staunton after .69" rainfall,  76 at Churchville after 1.03 "

I received my normal .01" but the cool air with northerly breezes is absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!  

Just got home,  picked up about 0.25 at some point this late afternoon/evening....

Here was me again getting missed just to the north.  SEVERE drought in progress here almost no rain since July 2

The drought monitor says different lol. I know it's frustrating but your area is no difference than anywhere else. When the worm turns, look out. NAM brings storms into your area this evening.

On east side of Columbia …. had a trace around 9:30pm. Enough to wetten down grass etc. 

I could see the edge of the main cell and the intense lightning to my NE. And loud thunder, before everything headed away. Probably missed me by no more than 5 miles or so.

.15 last evening.

I checked the Acurite rain gauge on the deck this morning and it was over an inch. There was a brief power outage during the beginning part of the storm and I think the daily rain/rain event must have reset to zero. Not sure I have ever replaced the batteries. Last I looked before the power blip, 0.32" had fallen, so the total is more like 1.15".

I will probably relocate the station as the tree canopy has expanded overtop.

 

eta- The console batteries were definitely dead lol. shame on me. Now I have to go through the clunky menu and set the date, time, units etc.

Swwwwww... nasty out there. I worked in my garden this morning, cleaned my work truck, now off to wash a house in Ellicott City. Bob Chill, you're not alone grinding in this heat. I'll be ready for a tall lemonade, 200mg cookie, and a fat joint to go with a nice thunderstorm this evening.

The drought monitor shows normal but that's because it has rained plenty in areas all around me.  I can't tell you how many times I see a t-storm out my south-facing window as they roll thru Rockville/Gaithersburg, etc.  Some of those places have been hit 5-6 times since the last time I saw a drop.  I've let the lawn go and am just trying to keep my flower garden alive.  Leaves are even falling already.

And no, it will not rain here this evening or anytime soon

My entire childhood it seemed every storm went north of me and hit Glen Burnie. They still do. That place is a magnet for storms. I'd be interested to see a map of thunderstorm frequency over the past 100 years. It would be interesting to see if some areas do better then others. Besides the obvious areas like Stephen City lol

What I have is a bit of a rain shadow from higher elevations from W around to NE of me.  T-storms will break up dropping down, then reorganize just east.  Stephens City is a much worse example of this.

OT but I just checked the weather in Morehead City/Atlantic Beach area where our two kids went and they have an extreme heat warning for heat index of up to 115!  Oooooof
