Big Heat (and storms?) Week into July 4th Weekend

[NorthArlington101]

What’s it take to get one of these storms overhead in DC? Just want some fun T&L

[SnowenOutThere]

Under the stratiform rain coming off the cells in southern Fairfax and still get .2+ inch per hour rates. 

[WEATHER53]

Low clouds started  moving east to west about an hour ago 

[Lucketts]

Moderate to heavy rainfall here in Lucketts started up around 10:35.

FINALLY getting some rain out here near Gainesville.  First time it has been more than a few token drops all weekend.  Got 1 in and it is still falling hard.

[high risk]

At a time when most storms are ramping down, the cell near Manassas exploded, seemingly aided by a cell merger.  Major downburst signal.

[HokieEnginerd]

I am right under the western side of that cell.  We have gotten about 2 in in under and hour and it is still coming down.

[pazzo83]

yeah anyone near Manassas looks like they are getting hammered.

Just west of there, but yeah.  Hit 3 inches a few minutes ago and have had house shaking thunder for the better part of an hour.  I haven't seen anything like this in a LONG time.

Apparently there are water rescue calls starting to appear in Manassas.

Picked up 0.62 overnight on some heavy downpours event total so far is 1.10" 

[BlizzardNole]

Missed close by a thunderstorm last night.  I got about a half inch, but the Mesonet two miles away got 1.33

[nj2va]

0.25” overnight, better than nothing!

[Lucketts]

2.5 inches total from the last 2 nights.

[weatherCCB]

0.64” overnight

1.31” last 3 days

Swing and miss lol. It took some luck to miss every single storm for the past 4 days. That was impressive. Hopefully this week continues to stay dry. I've got jobs to do.

[SolidIcewx]

Maybe today is the day Alexandria gets a storm overtop of the city

Yep. Got 0.11 last night overnight, which brings me up to about 0.17 I think.  Oh well, at least we don't have trees laying on power lines and all the other joys of heavy storms.

Not really sure where discussion of today's weather should go, but there is a clear consensus that today's rain/storm threat will primarily be an after dark show

[wxmeddler]

I think given the heatwave and the 4th holiday weekend is over it's transitioned back to the July Obs thread.
