Hopefully that stuff out west makes it here 

Looks like it will, but we'll see when it enters the metro area where all those outflow boundaries have gone every which way

[MDphotog]

Holy smokes those outflow boundaries triggered a big flare up at least around Hagerstown and Martinsburg.

[Weather Will]

Heavy downpours finally!!!!

[NorthArlington101]

Can see all that lightning across the bay from my window in D.C. Pretty decent show at this distance.

[LongRanger]

2.05" today and a brief power outage

[Interstate]

0.09 so far. Some really good strikes earlier. 

[Mrs.J]

Guess watering my deck plants about 20 min ago was the trick.

You might actually cash in tonight 

The line split just as it got to me.  Got .12" on strong winds.  As usual, the real storm slid to my north.  You probably did well again.

1.57 in 24 hrs!!!!!

0.00 today 

Can smell all the rain just to my west with all the flooding in the Staunton/ Churchville area and see all the lightning.....

[Mrs.J]

.86” here with light rain still. Getting occasional lightning and soft rolling thunder. I don’t need severe but just some nice rolling thunder. 

[Maestrobjwa]

Goooooood soaking rain now with some wind. Some rumbles of thunder as well!

[WEATHER53]

See the flash and then 30-35 seconds later hear the thunder clearly. Someone ne of me had to get hit hard 

And sweet 250th, 74 feels joyous compared to 110+ heat index 

[pazzo83]

rain seems to be fizzling out as it approaches the beltway - of course.

[CAPE]

Booming thunder and legit heavy rain just woke me up. Finally something decent.

[Weather Will]

1.3 inches overnight.  Hopefully more to come today.

[Random Chaos]

0.32 on 7/4

0.69 on 7/5

0.00 overnight 

At least it’s something against my rain deficit.

[JakkelWx]

495 has been the screw zone so far the last 2 days. Hopefully you all cash in today and tomorrow. That line almost missed me last evening but it extended down just briefly, and damn was that rain intense.

I saw that... im starting to learn the dynamics out here as things approach from the west. The last several systems seem to jump north as they approach so for me I need things to be down your way as they get closer if I want to cash in at least so far that is how it's been. I did get 0.48 out of it I'll take it!

[mitchnick]

Just a WAG, but I think this week marks the beginning of a transition to legit Niño conditions i.e. wetter and cooler than normal. We'll see.

[Terpeast]

Picked up 0.45” late in the game. 

[SnowtoRain]

0.93" last night

[MN Transplant]

0.01”

DCA is now -7.28” year to date
