They got games in!?! 

The main tournament got canceled as you know.  But the 12U coach got us some turf fields and 4 teams committed to play yesterday.  It was a long day... each team played each other and the top two played a "championship game"  Four games in one day is a lot... left the house at 6:30AM and got home at 8:30PM

This is some seriously heavy rain. .65" in less than 10 minutes!

Nice surprise this morning over here. Have picked up .30” so far.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0258

NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD

920 AM EDT

Wed May 27 2026

Areas affected...Maryland, District of Columbia

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 271319Z - 271519Z

Summary...Isolated flash flood potential will exist as a cluster of storms over western Maryland moves through the region this morning. Discussion...A persistent cluster of thunderstorms was noted via radar mosaic imagery near Frederick. These cells have shown modest signs of intensification in the last few minutes. They are being supported by weak mid-level waves moving through zonal flow over northern VA and near 70F dewpoints that were fostering 1.75-2 inch PW values and ~1000 J/kg MUCAPE. Despite current rain rates of 0.5-0.75 inch/hr, moisture values increase with downstream extent toward the Chesapeake Bay. Though appreciable steering flow was supporting fairly quick movement of individual cells (around 35-40 knots), increasing downstream moisture profiles and urban ground surfaces/lower FFGs nearer to I-95 (0.75 in/hr) may support isolated instances of flash flooding this morning. This potential should be brief (perhaps extending through 15Z/11a). More upstream convection is possible later today and will be monitored for any flash flood potential beyond 15Z.
