Picked up .60”. What a nice event. 

[Poodleusier]

0.47" in Western fringe of Ballenger Creek.  Nice to over perform the model for once since I can't remember when.

A lot of T&L. Pouring rain.

[H2O]

Heavy rains and T&L. Most precip in months. I’ll take it 

[SnowenOutThere]

Had a nice shelf cloud come through as I drove home. Made a pit stop by a lake to get some shots, but wish I managed to get to the Herndon metro parking lot roof to see the oranges/purples of the rain behind them. Surrounding area got 0.4-0.5 inches of rain which is the most we've gotten in a long time. Felt good to finally hear heavy rain again.

[Amped]

Some pretty lage drops still

[pazzo83]

FINALLY some really good rain here over the city.  Love rain at night - one of my favorite things.

[Interstate]

.45 way more then I expected

This is a good example of the polarimetric radar being important.  If you look at the reflectivity over my house you’d think that it was pouring.  The high differential reflectivity and low differential phase indicates that there are large, but relatively few big drops.  So, despite a radar that looks like below, I’ve had 0.07” so far in this batch.

I’ll have to do some research on this. I’m definitely not using RadarScope to its potential.

Those are awesome shots!

Just got home from work and based on radar estimates, I’m disappointed to have .47” in the gauge.
