dailylurker Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 9.63" since Saturday. The storm that came through yesterday evening was electrified like crazy. I witnessed 2 trees within 200' of each other get struck by lightning. I was standing on my patio about 200' from the action. The second one (closest one) had me running for the door. Trees were sliding off the hillside that is along the road that I use to access my neighborhood. We were trapped in here by trees to the left and floods to the right.

poolz1 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 .39” from the recent batch brings my total to 3.79” since Saturday...kinda paltry compared to most to my east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in my yard yesterday or overnight, although a few miles to my west had 4 rounds of heavy rain amounting to 3+ inches. The prospects here look meh for today, as most of the action should be over central MD and N VA. And I bet you get an inch+ today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 OK our luck in VA Beach has run out as we have a loooooong river of mod/hvy rain training right over us that looks to last all day. My parents in Calvert have water coming into the finished basement due to a clogged gutter. They fixed the gutter but the damage is done. Hopefully not too bad.

Got bullseyed on the western front too in Germantown, can even see it on the total rainfall maps, a small sliver of MoCo with 7+" from that one portion of the event. I'm at about 9" including that storm and everything since. Reminded me of the flooding event I had in Baton Rouge, except it was basically 2 straight days of the worst parts of it.

Party is only for those who have received less than 1" since this epic period began saturday. BTW, round 2 is passing safely to my west.

JWilliam9830 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What a narrow diurnal temperature range. Got up to 84 yesterday, low temp got down to 76. currently 80/79 Got no rain overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water rescues and flooding just 25 miles southwest of me from post midnight storms, and I got 0.13" in my backyard during the same time period.

osfan24 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Didn't even realize it rained overnight but picked up another .9. I'm right around 7 inches through the past two days, though it remains to be seen if we will get much today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things get worse on Tue as moisture plume moves a bit more inland and aims at Washington DC. Model signal is stronger for heavy rainfall with showers/t-storms falling over saturated soils. Coordination with neighboring WFOs was not to issue the flood watch for multiple days, but obviously the riks of flash flooding will be extremely high. WPC Day ERO has moderate risk for almost the entire area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
