the models were right with the storm producing random-like "blobs" of rain, but they differed/struggled every run with exactly where those "blobs" would be, and will likely continue to do so

 

Looks like it will be a little less widespread at least on the edges than many model forecasts but living on the edge is always tough.  Pretty much every model had at least 2" of rain for DC thru Fri as of yesterday which appears it will verify pretty well... unless it keeps raining a lot. ;)

Oh good, I was feeling a little left out

All the hi res models seem to indicate more batches swinging through. Maybe not as big, but def seems to be a focus north from the first one a bit. Maybe DC north but more focus on n md.

BWI has done OK so far, I would think you're at least 3/4", if not more, but I haven't been paying to much attention to the returns up your way

here are storm totals per radar which are close enough to being right usually

yeah, that blob backs into us from the NNE

if the NAM is off with the placement of it (as in too far north), there will be flooding issues I would think

otoh, it could be gone on the next run knowing the NAM

yeah possibly. it's definitely quite soggy in the city at this pt. lots of ponding and runoff.  most areas still have pretty high guidance values but another few good bands could trigger some.

I had 0.08 at 7 am, looks like another 0.02 or 0.03 in there now....can't believe I've had more than you by looking at last 24 hours radar loops.

 

Well, I am up to .12" now.  The radar is misleading; most of the time, the precip has barely been a light drizzle.  We had a period of light rain for a time.  Maybe the blob looking to hit us soon will be heavier.

It's raining hard here in the middle of Winchester and the radar says its about to get better.

 

This is when that se flow usually seems to help quite a bit.

Well, it is actually raining here now, though I wouldn't describe it as hard.  Radar shows yellow and even a little orange overhead, but the actual precip is very garden-variety rain. 

 

Up to .19" now.  KOKV up to .23".
