IronTy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 4 hours ago, BlizzardNole said: Partly sunny and 83/75 here. Got a surprise 0.2 yesterday afternoon and hoping for more today. Just got home after driving through heavy rain all the way through Calvert county. My rain gauge has 1.1" in it from the storms today so far. Solid drought remediation. Seems like more to come too.

MN Transplant Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I had to leave town for it to finally rain. My station says 1.24”. Radar seems to think that there is upwards of 3” in spots between my house and DCA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolio Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Hammered here in S. Arlington. This was from 4:30 to 5. Sorry for the unofficial reading. Still trying to get a "proper" rain gauge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Damn. My NAM comment from earlier didn't age well lol. Radar looks amazing right now. Looks at that fetch of moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Rough cutoff over western fairfax county today. I’m sitting just under .3 while under a mile away is 1 inch plus. Suns now fighting to come out, hoping we still got a batch or two of rain left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see moderate rain all evening with a few rumbles of thunder. We deserve this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Models definitely missed this one. I was expecting any decent rain to stay west of DC today and tonight. It looks like a fire hose aimed at PG and AA county. I was expecting this to be over Frederick this evening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust the Synoptics IMO the synoptic setup was screaming that this would be a flooding potential event. I'm really surprised that WPC dropped the ball and didn't at least put a slight out to I-64 starting a few days ago. LWX slowly started to realize the potential starting on Friday but the writing was on the wall starting on Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gaps in the precipitation and drought have largely spared the metros from any wider issues. If this rain came as one longer fused batch of precip, there would've been a few water rescues at least. On a similar note, I wish WPC would develop an event archive like SPC does. It would be great for research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrlg1181 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 1 minute ago, EastCoast NPZ said: .27". Another dud, as usual. At least I didn't finish in last place this time - still way behind you for the past month plus though Massive screw up today on the models and corresponding forecast for sure ... Flood watches for the Valley and extreme drought areas but all the real rain was the 95 east areas... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
