Lol

Pretty chilly rain falling here with some breeze picking up. 53°.

Any accumulations would likely be above 2500’ and amount to less than an inch on unpaved surfaces.

Getting some nice lightning from that line 25 miles northwest of here. Hoping it holds together.

0.25” storm total. Hoping to pick up more this afternoon.

Another 0.53” at MRB. The wettest month on record there now sits at 11.04”

October 1942 was 10.38”. Previous wettest August was 1955 at 9.71”

Martinsburg just set a new record for the wettest month ever. 10.41” so far. Period of record goes back to 1926.

Getting rocked pretty good here with almost continuous thunder and winds gusting to 35 mph. Rain blowing in sheets.

Martinsburg still cashing in. It’s been an historic week for precip totals there. All-time wettest months at MRB: 1- Oct 1932 10.38” 2- May 1978 9.73” 3- Aug 1955 9.71” 4- Oct 1990 9.50” 5- Sep 1935 9.49” 6- Aug 2024 9.36” 7- Sep 1975 9.25” 8- Sep 2018 9.22” Total precip for Apr-May-Jun-Jul was 9.41”

Looks like 3.46” for the day at MRB, after 2.06” on the 6th and 2.34” on the 7th. Now at 8.94” for the month through midnight, already the second-wettest August on record at the airport, after 9.71” in 1955. If tomorrow’s forecast verifies, we should crack the top 10 wettest of any month at that location.

Raining again at MRB. Now at 5.35” in the past 48 hours there. 6.42” for August. With the main show arriving tonight, it will be interesting to see how high up the list of wettest Augusts the total can reach less than 1/3 of the way through the month. 1955- 9.71” 1942- 8.86” 1954- 7.75” 2018- 7.32” 1978- 7.15” 1928- 7.05”

3.15” at Martinsburg in the past 12 hours. About an inch here during that time.
