Rocky Gap and Cumberland have won a special place in my heart. Would move out there in a skinny minute.

Was out in Frostburg yesterday scoping some potential mesonet sites. Western Maryland is beautiful.

Any pics out of Wilmington, VT?

Prior to today, Vermont was never in a Day 2 High Risk for rainfall.

Only saving grace for many is having this system be a few hours early (can't maximize surface instability) and a bit more progressive than forecast. Otherwise, double digit rainfall totals might be more widespread.

Pretty safe to say some of the CAMs are busting hard and seem to be underestimating the morning activity. HRRR appears to have missed all of the pre-game convection from I-83 northeast into PA.

I-76 @ MM 329 (WEADLEY RD) looks to be 1 to 2 feet of water across the road. Mt. Holly CWA jackpots again.

You can see the orographic enhancement along Catoctin Mt. and into S. Central PA already. Classic summertime setup for heavy rain.
