Posts like that from CWG are disappointing. They feed a false narrative that [insert thing or secret organization here] are controlling the weather. They should know better than that.
The deeper soil moisture probes on the mesonet sites aren't inspiring much hope. Sykesville's 20" and 40" values are almost as bad as the eastern shore. Full sun, dry air, and maximum leaf out means thirsty vegetation and streams.
While protracted over several days, this event was great to assuage the short term drought concerns. It would be great if we could get another pattern like this, but knocked it down into two or three days, and repeat each month through the summer.
Those VWC number are money. Rock Creek is currently experiencing some flooding near the beltway. We've close down Beach Driver between Connecticut Ave & Stoneybrook Dr. Looks like 1.5" - 2.2" from Potomac to Layhill overnight.
This point will need to be hammered home with the public. We're already fielding questions at work, on a weekend, about why there's water restrictions with "all this rain we've had recently".
With the outflow boundary out racing a lot of the convection, this has probably ended any scattered or widespread risk for wind damage. Looks more like generic thunderstorms for the rest of the evening.
