North Balti Zen Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Steady needed rain in Balt City, finally. Glad to break the dry cap. Looking at radar, SE of DC looks to be getting a pretty good deluge and has for awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We've had only .23" here so far but more to come. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of the heavier bands hit up this way today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Someone's gonna get drenched today. Love it. Days like today where it's humid as hell then it breaks for a big afternoon downpour are one of my favorite weather patterns. No way to tell who jackpots though.

Ellinwood Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 1 hour ago, NorthArlington101 said: We've got to have had at least 2+ inches over the past two days in Arlington. I'd also love some corroboration, because I have no scientific method of vertifying that in my own backyard. It's been pouring here this morning since 3:30. There's several WeatherBug stations in and very close to Arlington... they're generally in the 0.75-0.90" range for the past two days (since midnight on the 5th, so ~32 hours). If you include the rain on the 4th, totals are in the 1.0-1.5" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southmdwatcher Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 1.37" measured at 8am, we are on the northern edge of the heavier rain in southern MD, probably some spots with 4 to 6 inches already southwest of LaPlata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all the puddling from the dry ground may have led me to overestimate the amount of rain we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 3.5 to 5.5 from Montclair south through Dumfries and North Stafford since midnight, according to NWS. I am just Northwest of that and got nearly 1.8 today with a total of nearly 3 since last evening. I wonder where things will set up later this morning and into the afternoon. My gut tells me North of 66 toward I70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wow at that torrential rain over lower southern MD! Up here I have been stuck between rain training NW and SE of me, but I'm not bothered since we got the 1.8" whopper Tuesday evening. We have gotten 0.3" new since then, and it's good light rain that soaks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanWxFreak Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So the general expectation is more heavy rain up through central MD later this morning into the afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's days like this that make me realize I need to buy another simple gauge. Looks like we've gotten hit pretty good since about 4:00 am, and I'd imagine we've picked up 2" or so in the last 24 hours - most of that in the last 6-8 hours.

dailylurker Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 About .10 at my house. It just doesn't want to rain here this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's unclear. Earlier hi-res runs suggested this, but they've really backed off. That said, with the front drifting back to the north, central MD would seem like a candidate for heavier rain later, and it's *possible* that the hi-res runs don't have a good handle on the forcing.

Pretty much the same story here though. Missed the heavy rain just to my east on Tuesday, and most of the good stuff passed to my south today. Looks like the the heaviest activity later today into this evening will be north of me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 3.89 in my gauge since midnight, with .62 yesterday. Not bad! I was driving on Olley earlier this morning, at least 2 inches ago, and water on the road was already a problem at the bottom of the hill heading south towards Braddock. Burke Lake near Shiplett had major ponding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Some funky radar. Some cells moving to the SW. Some to the NE. Some to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm finally under one of those stationary, growing trains of steady to moderate rain. I can see the gauge creeping up from inside the house and guessing about .50" so far. Could be under these returns for awhile but still a long way off before I cry, "Uncle!"
