wxmeddler Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Good news is that the Flash Flood Guidance says that it should only flood in the region if it rains 4-5" in 12hrs. But some areas are already approaching that (Warrenton) in 6 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Going to bed now - still not doing much here other than light to mod rain. Maybe I'll wake up in an hour or two and check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avdave Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Meh here in Leesburg. Some thunder and nice light show to the south and east since 1130. Rain just started here about an hour ago. Amazing that 9 miles ESE there is a ton of rain. Leesburg shield is in effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I just looked into the past 6 runs of the HRRR and it has every time nailed someone with over 6" of rain on the MD western shore between 4am and noon. So...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Wild night out there. Got woken up by this next cell and just had a strike that must have been within a few blocks here in downtown Bethesda. It got my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Someone wake Ian up, he's missing DC bucket o' rain fest. Better yet, Eskimo Joe is going to be bummed that he missed a FFW and water rescue(s?) operation and 2 jack knifed tractor trailers closing down 495.

smokeybandit Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Strange (from a layman's perspective) watching a system move to the north but watching a heavy thunderstorm move to the east in that system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 2.05" overnight. Had numerous downpours and thunder. If it can wake me up then it has to be dumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Even here is the desert zone we got 0.5" and maybe a little more coming. I am happy because I thought I was going to have to water everything this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 15 of the last 17 (COOP) days I've had measurable rain. 0.27" overnight. 2.05" now for July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Pretty good rainfall event here since last night. Didn't measure, but would assume a bit more here than the IAD totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Local PWSs showing around 2.5" overnight, with most of that coming between 2:00 and 4:00. Plenty of lightning and thunder to go with it, too. Dog was unhappy, baby didn't care. "Congrats" to those who got bulls-eyed last night. Better you than me. I saw upwards of 10" in 12 hours with Lee (and around 7" in a few hours in the evening), and I'd prefer not to have something like that happen again.

BlizzardNole Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 One last slug looking like it's trying to get together -- would be nice to end up with 0.75" but that might be pushing my luck. Before today, just had 0.55 for July, and 1.05" since June 13 made up by several light events. It makes for a dreary day but we needed this bad here.

MN Transplant Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Usually when I leave town the interesting weather waits for a couple of days (commutageddon, Irene, derecho). This time it was about 4 hours. Pretty soon the NWS will be able to issue warnings based on my flight departure time. At least it was only 1.5" on my station.
