it's pouring out in Bethesda, but no thunder and not as much wind as I thought there'd be in this band.

As everyone else has reported, torrential rain here but no wind.

[wxmeddler]

Keeping an eye on that cell near occoquan. No reason to issue any warning beyond what's already issued yet.

Poured for a while earlier, then a small break. I see the line heading NE so yeah, should rain her again soon

[AmericanWxFreak]

Got VERY windy here in SW Howard Co. Drilling sideways rain for about 10 minutes. I'd estimate gusts close to 50

Weaker but still kind of there... looks like it won't hold.

[wxmeddler]

It's very shallow, the inflow gets totally plowed above 7kft.
