RDM

.48" in a few mins - the most rain in months. Temp dropped from mid 60's to 48 now - in less than an hour. Not bad.

T&L here in Vienna/Oakton

Thunder here in Vienna/Oakton.

.24" so far from round 1. Round 2 looks inbound in a couple hours.

Yes - worked outside all afternoon yesterday on a retaining wall project (160k lbs of 82lb prefab concrete blocks). It was almost cool in the shade but the physical labor make it feel great. Much better than a couple of months ago trying to do the same in the 90's and humidity. Going out again shortly for another round of "exercise".

Yup - was working outside all day yesterday on a retaining wall project. When the breeze picked up periodically a big oak in our front yard was shedding a lot. A couple maples too. Was almost Fall-like.

Wind picked up here for about 15 mins - just a slight breeze now.

Some T&L here...

Watch extended eastward to cover I-81. A lot of purples in the returns down my Elkins. Front Royal looks to get into the action in a bit. Will it hold together to support the HRRR?

Interesting chart - thanks for sharing High Risk. Assume because there is a valid date for the map, it takes into account recent precip, soil type, terrain etc - yes? Just curious. Don't recall seeing that map before.

Based on radar returns the last band is passing through now. About .72" yesterday and .87" today so far. Not bad. Could have been better. Congrats to those who cashed in.

.94" In the last 25mins. Some gusty winds in the outflow to ~30mph

Rain-X really helps a lot with visibility in down-pours. Seriously. Been using it since the early 80's.

Bright blue sky here with hardly any clouds overhead. Can see the line popping up to the NW. Getting active along the BR and 81
