JWilliam9830 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Second bust in a row. I don't care much anymore and i'm not expecting much more than a half an inch of rain the next few days zzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Radar looks like it's starting to light up a little bit. I wonder if the hrrr is onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWilliam9830 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Should be a nice sun and clouds mixed day tomorrow. I'll get a nice view of the shellacking of rain out west. 82/77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well if tonight is anything like last night it could be interesting. I was impressed by the late night rounds (2) of thunderstorms that developed around midnight and persisted to near 2am. Not only was the rainfall prolific (2.5" in my gauge in the morning) but there was some deep loud thunder and sharp lightning as the storms were rolling through.

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Cold front convection can't do it, historic coastal storms can't do it, massive upper level lows can't do it, massive tropical moisture plumes of 75f dews and 2.5" PWS values can't do it, so I don't know what's left that could produce anything more than drizzle here. Saddest excuse of a FFW I have seen. The radar looks like complete garbage for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo there is a bit drier than most other places in the general area. I feel for ya, but its kinda like me complaining about getting dry slotted or my snow changing to sleet or rain in winter nor'easters. Happens pretty often, but thats climo here on the coastal plain at 55 ft above sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'd imagine I had well under half an inch in the rain gauge today (hadn't even bothered to check) but I'm making up for it in a hurry. It's been dumping for almost a half hour now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 today was a bit of a bust here. i'm not surprised. no scientific reasoning behind this, but i just had a feeling it wouldn't do much here. we're not great at storms after storms. never have been, and if you think about it, it's kind of remarkable that 09/10 was one of the greatest winters ever. it was great, but i've said this before, we don't do extreme very well here (though i understand there are differing opinions on this topic). we do "almost" extreme pretty well, but the atmosphere is generally good at holding back at the next level stuff for whatever reason (mountains, etc.). at this point, i'm craving a good thunderstorm. really don't care for an all day rainer, but a nice fireworks display would be fun.

WEATHER53 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Got hit in Wheaton and Beltsville with some torrential 0.5 in 15 minutes. Question earlier about what torrential is. When the wipers are on high speed and still really not working, that’s torrential. When your rear window looks like the car wash or a river of water rolling down it, that’s torrential. Sheets of rain that look almost like little waves going rapidly across the highway, that’s torrential. Perfectly cleared modern gutters being overwhelmed, that’s torrential There are more. Please offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Someone can check me on this, but I'm pretty sure that BWI (previously the State House) surpassed their rainiest July ever (10.65" in 1905) this evening, and is now less than 3" from its rainiest month ever (13.83" in August 1933). That persistent plume along the western bay this afternoon and evening needs to shift east or west to give the basements in these parts a break. I'm closing in on 11" for the past 3 days.
