.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.

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?   

Activity has picked up on that cell by Dulles.

Impressive how often there has been heavy rain wording in the AFDs with inch+ amounts in the forecast that literally yield nothing. All summer long. They must be just using AI or guessing because the globals are awful with resolving convection(not their forte) and all the mesos suck and are always all over the place. Today is a classic example. Need better hi-res models I guess. When they all depict different outcomes run to run something isn't working right. Too many forecast busts tell the story.

Ended with 1.37 inches of rain throughout today. Watching an epic light show to the southeast of me from my deck. One of the best I’ve seen in years. 

I was just coming to post that…definitely one of the best storms here in quite some time. Lightning and thunder were incredible. 0.65” on my gauge and it’s wrapping up.

Looks like KLWX is offline?   I keep hearing thunder but I don't know where it's coming from, maybe if that cell over Charles co holds together we can eek out something.  

Yeah, KLWX last frame on Radarscope was 8:25 pm so using KDOX now.  Waldorf/La Plata cell looks good if radar is accurate.

Edit:  severe thread says LWX is down and troubleshooting, so use Dover
