Today feels like a kind of day where someone’s going to see a lot of rain.

Hopefully it's us, i love when things are moist. 

Almost a total frickin’ whiff. 0.07” here which is just enough to wash off the deer repellent from the tomato plants.

Total to end the day 3.86”

Honestly cannot remember the last time I have gotten that kind of amount. That first storm thundered for close to an hour. It caused a lot of flooding all over Frederick. Got word that the local farm where I get my CSA and plants they had about 5” of standing water on the grounds and in the green houses.

Not sure on totals from yesterday's storm.  Prince fred Mesonet says 0.28" but at my place about 2mi north you wouldn't surprise me if you said I got 2.8".  It dumped here for a while and was very heavy.  Way more than a quarter inch.  There must've been some cutoff shenanigans or something.  

There was a sharp cut-off there. The Red X is where the Prince Frederick mesonet site is. It got the short end of the stick.

Rainfall over the last week.  A lot of us in the 1-2.5" range, with some big winners near Frederick, Manassas, Dulles, and Martinsburg.  As has been tradition this year, DC itself, southern DE, and Stephens City did poorly. 

Airport totals continue to diverge (year-to-date total, departure):

DCA:  14.71", -6.94" 

IAD:  21.95", -0.81" 

BWI:  18.45", -3.94"

Augusta County is mostly green and growing.

 My lawn looks quite lush and green for nearly mid July.

The U.S. Drought Monitor has not changed since June 1 and keeps Augusta in Severe to Extreme Drought.   Truly amazing. 

 

 

 

 

Here is how those determinations are made: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/About/AbouttheData/DroughtClassification.aspx.  Summer rainfall does not generally help relieve longer term drought conditions that are dictated by year-on-year water budgets but can help sustain vegetation over the short term.
