WinterWxLuvr Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Just put out my official rain gauge (tin can with rain gauge written on it with a Sharpie). Been raining about an hour here, steadily increasing. From the looks of the movement on radar, might be several hours of moderate rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 we missed out on the first round today, but I think we'll get a good soaking tomorrow. I swear I had a freak heavy shower Tuesday night/Wednesday morning as the street was wet and all the bird crap was washed clean off my car, but none of the wxunderground stations or airport recorded it (or maybe it was super heavy fog?). I'm also happy it'll be cooler tomorrow as we're doing the inspection on our <fingers crossed> new house in the late afternoon so it'll be bearable to be outside, even if it's raining. Good luck on that RE deal. You would be in a nice spot up there. I met a guy who lives in one of those homes; sold him our pool table for his basement. Liked his place a lot. Up to 1.75" on the day, and currently getting raked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlYourWxPal Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Guess I know where the expression where it rains it pours comes from. I have yet to receive a thunderstorm this YEAR in Charles.

mappy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It stormed for a good hour in Cockeysville last night, loud crack of thunder woke me up around 1215, storm lasted until at least 1am (when I fell back asleep). Trees were down in the area this morning. Winds must have been wicked as our entire balcony was soaked this morning and the flowers look like they got their asses handed to them. Oh and our kitchen window leaks... hoping for more today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamerakitten Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I feel your pain. I am sitting here watching all the lightning and seeing near HGR get 5" plus. Flash flood warning just to my south. Me 0" I'm in Sharpsburg and my JUNE total rainfall was only 1.01 inches. I watch it rain all around me and we only get thunder, lightening and if we are LUCKY---3 rain drops. We got some heavy rain about 2am this morning--forgot to check the rain gauge before I went to work. I think the rainshield is right over me!

Interesting...from seeing radar, it always seems the rain is right over your area and then it falls apart as it crosses into the Frederick area. It's not just you or me though...check out http://water.weather.gov/precip and look at the last 60 days for our area. I'm just right of the blue dot which is 1.0" in the last 60 days. Yesterday's action was in Southern PA and given the pattern this summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see today's action in Northern VA. Just a reality...like my high water bill. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 A little bit of sun broke through in downtown Baltimore in the last hour. Clouding back up now. Not sure how much sun this morning will be needed to help prime the atmospohere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last nite the 6pm storm dumped rain all around--1/2 mile away (SE) had like .7 inches in less then 20 minutes-- we got the thunder and lightening and maybe 10 rain drops.
