coolio Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 2.52" so far here. From looking at radar, I don't think the metro area has much more to go. 1 or 2 hours tops.

87storms Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 i'm impressed with this system. did not expect it to be a gully washer like this. euro was really jumpy the last 2 days. seems like the short range guidance did pretty well overall. it shifted the legend band a little each run, but kept it close enough to stay in the game.

CAPE Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 This event is cool because it is pretty darn uncommon to get a (non tropical) low tracking up the east coast in mid summer producing widespread heavy rain and relatively cool temps. This has been a fall-like storm. The rest of the week should also be fun, with several perturbations moving through with a deep southerly flow between the blocking atlantic ridge and the trough/upper low just to the west. Much more summer like with high dews and chances for convection. Quite a few places in the area should see totals the next few days exceed what fell today.
