From my view south from Columbia, it looks like a really good electrical storm toward Laurel and Burtonsvillle. Lightning is even intense here. Looks like I could miss by a little, unless it builds northward a bit.

Isolated pop-up heavy shower imby just before 8pm.

0.80” in my corner of Columbia last night. 5.92” in July so far.

1.78” today so far. 5.12” July so far.

Still raining some but appears to be at least a solid 1.5” so far. Great electrical storm. Temp only has fallen to 76°.

Storm finally in Columbia. Good l&t plus downpours.

Sun is out. 0.20” today. Temp back up to 85.

3pm Columbia: still raining steady and rather light, temp down to 79, eyeballing approx 2/10” since about noon, will measure later.

11:20am — That skinny N-S line of rain from Harrisburg to Hanover has managed to blossom imby. Maybe a few hundredths, sidewalks and roads wet.

LWX morning update implies chance for fairly large area to be in a flash flood watch later. May be another day like yesterday: feast or famine.

Mowed today between 10-12. Brutal!

Columbia a chilly 73.8. 0.90” today, 1.35” over last 2 days. 3.09” for the month-to-date

0.45” with late afternoon storm.

Columbia: Some lingering steady light rain behind main line continues. 0.35” at 5:30pm imby.

Maybe the wording will come back but I noticed all mention of rain tonite was removed from my local (Columbia) NWS forecast, at least during the 1pm hour text forecast.

Been sitting on the deck enjoying quite a bit of this myself.

Just mowed. Not as hot but verrrry humid. “Only” 80°.

Columbia 1.74” Tuesday pm thru 6 am Wed.

Columbia 9:45pm 1.59” with rain falling.

Columbia imby 1.21” so far today (4:45pm)

Really nice dark vs light contrasting sky as storm moved into Columbia.

Off and on tropical downpours around Columbia.

0.33” Thursday and 3.09” for June so far.

Looks like some broken low storm-like clouds and distant thunder moving in FROM the NE. Some light rain fell for 15 mins but nothing unusual. Sun in western sky still slightly popping through broken overcast. Brighter to my west. Temps down to low 80s now after 90.9° today. 0.23” so far. And now, big healthy boom coming from my NW - N. Just checked radar. Big cell centered from Granite to Ellicott City located just to my north. These types of things often seem to fizzle/“miss/disappoint me. But I’m feeling it — for something in next 30-45 mins.

East Columbia: 0.23” imby in about 45 mins. Rain has stopped for now. Hi 90.9 current 87.3.
