.20 so far today.  2.0 for the month so far.  Much better than last year in SW Frederick area.

Finally! It has been nice to see green and not brown.

Man did my area get cut down.  Forecast went from 0.5 to 0.75 for today and tonight to just 0.25 to 0.5 for tonight after nothing today.  Oh well I guess the all day thick overcast killed it

Looking at that line die a little in the middle gives me Stephens City vibes

[nw baltimore wx]

A little over half an inch earlier and now some sun through breaks in the clouds.

Damn. Not looking that impressive. Just a wall of severe thunderstorm warnings for average looking scattered storms.

Odd - hearing a regular bout of thunder rumble from the inbound system approaching NOVA.  But the Lightening app shows only a few hits out by Winchester and more to the SW.  Wonder if there isn't a bug in the app and/or some sensors that are down?

Doing caterpillar work, could it be any more gross outside?  Perfectly still, disgusting air.

Dud out here

Resonant thunder heard from miles out. I hope this first line just dumps.

[Weather Will]

Heavy rain moving back in!

[SnowenOutThere]

2-3 inches of rain per hour rates right now with over .7 in the gauge.
