0.09" for the beginning of our drought buster. 1.25" so far for the month. Turned into a nice afternoon/evening albeit a bit humid (DPs ~65).

0.72" in my part of Frederick this afternoon.  "only" a 21 MPH gust on my station, but it's 5 feet off the ground and between two rows of townhouses.  But judging from the rain blowing along the roofs I'd say more like 30+ sustained for some periods.  Looks like power lines down west of me along route 85 from FB reports.

Winners in the severe weather sweepstakes would, for me, always be those who don’t get any. On the losing side——-
Shutout on rain thus far near Chestertown and hopefully the next several days’ potential activity will provide some.

Was out west of Leesburg this afternoon when the first round hit.  When the rn started the first 30 seconds of precip were massive globules of water.  If they had been snowflakes they would have been hang gliders - not just mere parachutes.

Basically nothing for DC.

I guess I should go water the flowers and turn on the lawn irrigation.

IAD hit 95+ three days in a row. Impressive for May.

Meanwhile, it's 84F at my house. Down from 85F earlier with the A/C on the fritz.

Haven't seen any rain in Cville today at work... Just dark clouds to the north earlier..

But radar suddenly looks promising back home in Waynesboro...
