mappy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 BWI says "what rain?" 0.04" at the ASOS this morning. I'm pretty sure at least two of my coworkers wished it hadnt rained downtown. I know 295 is completely closed after the beltway heading towards the city. 95 and 395 are at a standstill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 BTW, about 1 3/4 inches here this evening. Much needed, and much appreciated. Wow, good for you. I have a coworker who lives in cross junction just below the state line and got 2.5 inches yesterday evening from two separate rounds. I got .01" yesterday eveining, and another .02" overnight, ground is/was bone-dry under every bush and tree. Just incredible. I don't know what it will take for us to get even a hint of decent rain here. How this place isn't covered in sand and cactii is beyond me.

Avdave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 You got robbed Dave, Simpson middle school recorded .81 for the event. I wouldnt be surprised if both our numbers are accurate with the way this has been heavier in spots. I mean just the other day it rained at JYO airport and then got to Heritage and it was bone dry.

mattie g Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Here's to hoping today delivers in my neck of the woods. Despite all the storms that were around, and the reports of heavy rains throughout the region, yesterday was a pretty big letdown for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I got .04 recorded for this entire event. I was expecting much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 my dad got stuck there for 5 hrs yesterday outbound. The Southwest folks in Detroit said BWI had 6" of rain before the evening round of tstms came in. Apparently those 6" didn't fall into the ASOS bucket. We actually boarded and were less than 5 mins to takeoff when BWI put a ground stop on all departures leaving for BWI. We sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours, then got off the plane, reboarded and finally landed in the middle of a tstm at 11:15pm. We were supposed to land at 5:10pm. Absolutely miserable...especially since this was the first time my wife and I had left our kids overnight (Saturday) and we promised to be back by bedtime on Sunday.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Wtf how did BWI only record 0.04 inches this morning? I live less than 15 minutes from BWI and that was one of the longest heavy rainfalls I think I've ever seen, we had to have gotten at least 1.5-2 inches IMBY.

Stormpc Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I got .04 recorded for this entire event. I was expecting much more. Yeah, I got a whopping .05 since Friday. Still bone dry. It never rained hard enough to get through my tree foliage in the back yard to even dampen the ground. Here's to looking forward to this afternoon.

catoctin wx Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 put me down as one of the (nearly) total misses from this event. 24 hour rain totals ending this morning. My house is where that star is in Frederick County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Does this look a little bit familiar? SNE is getting pummeled. Surely, there must be some Thunder snow with 2-3" per hour rates in there....add in the 20-30 mph gusts and it looks like a great storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Anyone know of a radar site that allows you to zoom down to see local streets? I.e, NWS radar shows the major roads, but I want a site that shows progressively more (local) roads when you zoom in. Thought wunderground did this, but I don't see it.
