.72 yesterday hoping for several good soakings as im going out if town next week and would love to not have to water the garden 

[Weather Will]

WB 6Z RRFS for today. (did a nice job forecasting yesterday's precip. totals)

[kgottwald]

Still warm and muggy. Where's the front??

[BlizzardNole]

No rain at all and now the forecast is looking bleak.  I'm starting to think we get one of those multi-day dreary, gray periods with little to no rainfall.  I'm looking at the second straight month with well less than an inch total rainfall.  Might even be less than 0.5 for the month.  Devastating summer on tap

I am still seeing all models giving us all 2+ inches between now and Monday

Congrats everyone NW. Nothing here but sprinkles. Looks like the same areas that got hit yesterday get hit again today while the rest of us drought. I'm so tired of no weather. There's be nothing since Jan 24th.

.47 in my section of NW DC.

Good rain yesterday evening 

1.01”

[aldie 22]

Just drizzle at the moment but that's a nice slug off to my west 

[Mrs.J]

.03” overnight. With a 90% chance of a trace of precipitation throughout the day. AKA English spittle all day. 
 

Heading down to Wolf Trap for a concert tonight. No horrible heat but the drive down with rain will for sure be interesting. Opting to take 15.

Jackpot zone so far from southern MoCo through HoCo. Around 1” for me. Couple thunder claps last night around 10-11pm were LOUD house shakers. Let’s keep it rolling today!

.03 yesterday, 0.33 overnight. 

[WVclimo]

Getting a soaking rain here the past couple of hours.  Down to 57 degrees.

       I think that is on the right track.   The focus for the heavy rain today will definitely be well to the northwest, and while it will eventually sink southeast into the metro areas later this afternoon, it will be weakening as it does.

[aldie 22]

.34 so far with this batch coming through

[mappy]

.55” yesterday. Pouring this morning. Temp down to 53

[AnEndlessMaze]

Been pouring here for hours, the rain magnet is now fully siphoning all moisture away from SOMD.

Yea those booms were loud, long and rumbling. Glad the kids didn't wake up.

This first round definitely wasn't ours. HRRR gives eastern areas a few showers this evening and that's it for today. Hopefully it's correct about tomorrow.

From the looks of it, I don't think it will make it to the beltway area at all. Frickin rain shield is strong around DC. May clip Silver Spring. We'll see.

.46 for this batch 1.18 so far for the event

[H2O]

drought continues here

[Herb@MAWS]

1.17” imby/Columbia since Wednesday afternoon.

[Weather Will]

Really nice rain this am.  Short term best rain in months in NW burbs.

[North Balti Zen]

Pretty amazing mostly whiff around Fallston last night - storms approached and then somehow reformed around the farm to the east around 5:00 - then lighter rain for a few hours. Wasn’t a shutout but was absolutely frustrating. So far today training achingly close just to the north of Fallston. I hope like hell it sinks south a bit this PM. We really need a sustained amount of rain on the fields at the farm.
