NorthArlington101 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Closest PWS that is reporting rainfall amounts says I got 3.9" in total. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 i passed out on my couch listening to the rain during that last band around 12-1am. woke up to my electricity being out. it's back on, thankfully. nice event and one of the coolest looking radar depictions i've seen during any storm. looks like we'll be dealing with remnants throughout the day all the way to the coast.

Even if you don't want to report on the network, their gauge is really good. https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=store That is a very nice guage. I ordered one. Thanks!

Join CoCoRaHS and get their gauge, holds 11 inches and is pretty durable. Edit Well, helps if you read through all the posts before commenting I guess........

midatlanticweather Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My weather station reported a total of 4.75" of rain yesterday and just .06" since midnight! I had 2.46" of rain between 10:50 PM and midnight! Crazy! 4.91" storm total so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Welp, looks like I'm stuck in the rain for the day. Classic N/NNW flow when a low pulls away from here on radar, rain forms against the mountains and trains straight down the spines. About .2 so far today since the 7 am dump, around 1.2 for the event and adding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I passed out too before it ended. I went to sleep thinking that staying up for a rain event wasn't as exciting as whiteout conditions, 50mph wind gusts, and empty store shelves as the result of unnecessary pandemonium. You only get the real effect of a rain storm by listening to the rain hit the roof....at night at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The storm had perfect timing in Ocean City. After predictions of a wash out Friday, it was nice all day until 4PM. Then it rained all night and it stopped just in time to load up the car and head home. Hit some showers as we crossed over the bay bridge. Feels chilly here.

Looks like we were spared 9/29/15 flooding because the storm was broken up into parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 water vapor shows energy still hanging back to the nw. given that, you'd think we'd have showers through the rest of the day, but we'll see. it doesn't look like this thing is in a hurry to leave. hopefully there's clearing by tomorrow morning.

Eskimo Joe Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Looking back, the HRRR and 3K NAM were a bit to slow and deep with the main show, which caused their rainfall amounts to be a bit too high. Still, this was a decent event and the surprise pre-game action was amazing. 22 roads were closed due to high water in Montgomery County at the height and some isolated reports of rainfall near 7"...if the gap between the pre-game and main event wasn't so long this would've been a top 10 event in my book.
