A 7.6” CoCoRAHS report from central WV! 
 

HoCo was a relative jackpot it looks like. 3.54” in downtown Columbia where I was getting soaked running to the movies and @canderson was at merriweather. 

Ankle deep water. If SUCKDD

Same in Frederick.  Luckily the rain moved out before we left the theater.  Hope you at least enjoyed the flick.

1.10 of rain here. So far July has been wet.  

[LongRanger]

3.12" yesterday, largest one-day amount in many years

[Mrs.J]

So ended up with 1.14” at the house in Frederick. Monthly total of 8.90” so far. compared to the 2 and a half inches last July. 

Not sure what we got here in Lewes last night. The thunder was so loud and we are in a ground floor condo and it shook the entire room. I have heard that there was a situation down in Chincoteague overnight at the camp grounds. Tent campers were having a rough night with flooding and campers that did not put their awnings down had them ripped off. And they got hit again this morning. There is standing water all over here in Lewes. Have seen video of the water spout off of Lewes last night. Am glad I looked at weather on Monday and decided to not take the ferry over to Cape May yesterday. Could have been an interesting ride if we were on the last ferry.

3.26” across the river from 8am yesterday to 8am today. 82° now which would be great if the dewpoint weren’t 76.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Yesterday's .93" helped, but was hardly anything notable.  Unless we get at least one more significant rain I will still end up with another month below 2" total precip.  It got me wondering how often this has happened recently, so I went back through the records for the last 2 years and checked:

2026

JUL:   1.80 (to date)

JUN:   1.59

MAY:   3.70

APR:   1.49

MAR:   1.62

FEB:   1.70

JAN:   .71

2025

DEC:   .99

NOV:   .83

OCT:   1.86

SEP:   1.60

AUG:   .68

JUL:   4.05

JUN:   4.40

MAY:   12.04

APR:   1.77

MAR:   1.74

FEB:   1.20

JAN:   .49

2024

DEC:   2.74

NOV:   1.00

OCT:   .50

SEP:   3.38

AUG:   10.08

JUL:   1.46

JUN:   .82

Unreal.  I knew it was bad, but this puts this drought in perspective.

8 months out of the last 25 have been 1" or below 

18 of the last 25 months have been below 2".

We had 9 straight months below 2" (Apr '26  - Aug '25) and in that stretch had 3 straight months below 1".

10 of the past 11 months have been below 2".  And we had another stretch of 6 out of 7 (Apr '25 - Oct '24) in this stretch.

And if the rest of July fails, we add another below 2" month to these stats.

WTF happened in May '25 and Aug '24??  What a ridiculous anomoly.  37% of our total rain the past 25 months fell in those two months.  Without that, this place would be uninhabitable.

I was just shy of 3.

Not enough people are talking about the legendary stretch of weather coming up from tomorrow till Saturday. Highs barely past 80 degrees and dewpoints in the low to mid 50s in MID JULY. It’ll be the first look ahead to fall weather wise!

We’re going to OCMD tomorrow evening. Could be a little chilly for a beach weekend lol

[pazzo83]

low 90s at DCA again.

[Mrs.J]

Getting dark here in Lewes. Radar showing a couple of cells that will be coming through.

Picked up 0.89” here, which isn’t as much as I thought. I was in the city last night and they definitely got more.

I would have guessed at least 1.5". I'm surprised.

Oh hell yeah I'm looking forward to that!  We are going to a local winery for some live music on Friday evening.  Should have temps falling thru the 70s

Hoping those training showers SW of me make it here

I feel your pain.

A beautiful evening to see a free Fleetwood Mac knockoff band at Wisp. 70 with a breeze - heading to the upper 40s tonight. Yes please and thank you.

[Jebman]

Buda is currently 100 degrees with a 76 degree dewpoint. This means it feels like it's 116 degrees in the shade! It topped out at 102 degrees, which means then the heat index felt like 119 or 120 degrees earlier!

I am jealous! Because of the weather, and because I grew up with Fleetwood Mac tracks! Many of them remind me of big snowstorms!

[nj2va]

DP down 2 degrees in last 30 minutes. Down to 64, can feel the more comfortable air settling in. 

[Jebman]

Hey meteorologists on here, I would like to politely request that EWX consider going ahead and hoisting an Extreme Heat Warning for North Hays County in Texas just for July 23, tomorrow. Highs will top out 100 degrees and dewpoints may well be in the lower to middle 70s. Today, July 22, we topped out at 102 degrees and it turned out that our dewpoint was 76. This means that locally here in Buda at the height of the heat this afternoon it felt like at least 119 degrees, perhaps the very low end of the 120s. This is serious heat even down here and we have hundreds of construction workers at it all day in Buda and Kyle, especially seeing that our region is now developing faster than places like Dubai in the UAE. The tech boom will be centered in Austin Texas and soon this region will have millions more people, especially as we really ramp up the Optimus iterations 3 - 5 General AI and Super AI robots in 2 years. Just a request. If there is an Extreme Heat package in place sometimes they will let those workers off earlier. (Maybe).

[SnowtoRain]

More rain, fortunately training just south if me. Flash flood warning for southern parts of Easton.

[BlizzardNole]

Got lucky with some training showers last night and picked up 0.75 for a total of 2.10 for the event.  Best rainfall since I moved here in March.  Now I'm looking forward to gorgeous weather the next four days.

[SnowenOutThere]

Beautiful morning out. On ffx county parkway where it overpasses 50 could finally see past the blue ridge way to the distant mountains. Otherwise, mid 60s and low humidity means I get to wear a jacket today to coach!

You have been here for one of the more interesting periods weather wise. Do not recall such intense thunderstorms on consecutive days like this in quite some time. 

[stormy]

65 with a northeast breeze 5 - 15.

Feels like fall!    Spruce Knob,  46.

[BlizzardNole]

Sunny, 73/59 with a breeze in late July!  Meanwhile in NC with more to come yikes
