8.13-8.15 rain and storm event

Thing is crawling along too. If it doesn't start to die out might get a warning for flooding here soon.

Also @Bethesda - I know that but still - it's super loud here.

If I was LWX I'd issue something. This thing is starting to show multiple updraft column's (evidenced by multiple higher precip echo's and corresponding velocity convergence from BWI TDWR) The winds at 200-300 mb are evacuating the air quickly out of the top allowing more moist air to be drawn up from the bottom.

Well defined outflow boundary moving SW from that cell, perhaps it effects the Larger cell to the NW somehow?

Also, I bet Leesburg didn't miss out this time. Somebody report in. :P

It's a steady soaking rain for the last several minutes but the wind seems to be making the precip appear more intense than it is. Whatever, beggars can't be choosers I just hope it holds together long enough to soak the grass. It's not as intense as the radar would lead you to believe.
