Down at Wolf Trap. Pouring waiting to be let into our seats. The law is full.

It’s been raining for the last 3 hours or so despite the radar showing it just to the south. Bye bye drought.

Sting 

Have always wanted to see him. The man is 75 and still belts it out.

Enjoy your 35 and driving rain this winter.

No bro. That will be your place. Not mine.....

Sitting at 1.45 for the event i guess if the models are right my area should have an outside shot at 3" that would put a decent dent in the deficit at least

Pretty much a dud east of DC. Just the same ole same ole. Forecast for 1-2". Received my usual .10 overnight. Looks like a cloudy drizzly day with another  .10 otw lol

Drizzle. Still nothing in the gauge. Hopefully the scraps over the next couple days can bring a half inch or so over here. 

[BlizzardNole]

0.17 overnight.  Not much but better than the zero we usually get.  The forecast looks good, but I think we end up with less than half inch all the way thru Monday here

Yeah. This looks like a west of DC event. The drought will rage on here. Sprinkles for days is just annoying. I rather it just be sunny and dry AF.

.22” in the gauge this morning and .76” so far.

[SnowtoRain]

0.02" 2 day total, 1.18" for the month

[WxUSAF]

A lot of variation in the guidance on how today goes rain-wise. 3k NAM most rainy and most widespread. Hrrr mostly meh for everyone. Hopefully a euro/NAM blend works out through today and tomorrow. 
 

p.s. about 1.25” total so far for me 

[wxdude64]

0.54 for today. 0.06 yesterday. MUCH more (2"+) fell just to my north up in Bath and Highland counties. I'll call that a win, headwaters for both the James and Potomac watersheds. Let's hope for another 1-2 area wide over next couple of days. Currently 52.9/52.0 with light rain here.

[North Balti Zen]

For fuckssake, I am maybe 15 southeast of parkton and we have .35 at the farm for the last 36 hours. What an infuriating set of mostly misses - an inexplicable storm approach fall apart and reform situation Thursday evening and then watching the rain shield refuse to budge for half the day yesterday before delivering light rain for hours. We really need better luck than that the next 48 hours - the fields need way more than that given how dry it was coming into this event. Unfortunately, this AM looks south of Fallston - hoping like hell this PM sends a slug of rain to my part of the area.

[stormy]

1.95" last 36 hrs..  Harrisonburg received 3.05" last 24 hrs.

This is NOT a Drought buster but it is absolutely wonderful.

200% of normal for 2 to 3 months would break the drought.

[AnEndlessMaze]

Total for last three days is 2.11" so far.

I’d much rather bust the drought through afternoon thunderstorms than this.

Those would all runoff though.
