So this is what heavy rain is like. Cool! 

Only picked up an additional .13" of rain this afternoon for a grand total of 0.27". Well, there's always tomorrow. 

Storms doing a dance around my house. Just getting spits. 

I think the hole over the DC and beltway is closing. Looks like there will be a collision from the storms to the north and south. lol 

I got a spit from that storm. 0.14" Heard a few good LONG rumbles of thunder. That's about it.

That derecho is beginning to make me wonder...

Eerily looks like the one that hit the DC area in 2012.

H3. Bone dry. Missed rain on both Saturday and Sunday. 

.79" overnight. 4.82" for the week. Nice little show this morning. I was up anyway. First storm woke the 1 year-old. I hope the rest of the day is like this. Would be more exciting than the TS. 

Soooo. Didn't expect this heavy shower. skies just opened up. Going to add to my totals today. 

Hugest slug of rain ever to our west after a hot crackly day is awesome!

Rain is a comin'!

The sky reminds me of orange sherbert.

Wow! Mother nature really knows how to shut the door in your face. Rain is struggling to get north of DC.  Shower trajectory looks promising and then they just evaporate. 

What in the rain gods is this random shower popping up threatening my first ever backyard movie night? 

Lots of lightening in Adelphi. More than I've seen in a few years. Great light show for the kids.

91/65

3.24" for the week. 6.57" for the month. 

Got a solid 1.27in of rain out of those storms. Perfect for summer. Rain, thunder, with no wind damage. My kind of storm. 

91/76

1.97 inches of rain yesterday. Awesome!  My lawn is wet with tears of joy! 

I have 3.30in of rain so far this week. I am in good shape for now. But my grass is so weak it wouldn't take much to fry it. 

I randomly look at my radar this morning seeing if it was going to rain and saw Arthur swirling around in the Atlantic. This is a nice surprise and a nice break from pandemic news. Can't imagine if people have to be evacuated during this pandemic. 

So, is that it? 

Will this affect my afternoon run?  

Just kidding. 

But I do have a question. Those winds in DE look scary. Cat 1 type winds. Will we see those here? Hell, even 50mph winds would be scary in the DC area after such heavy rains last night. 

Nice rumbles of thunder here. First thunders of spring for me. Nice. First sever thunderstorm alert on my weather radio too! Woo hoo!
