dailylurker Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Another busted flood watch. This storm was a bust in many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a sound sleeper maybe, or there was a tremendous cutoff - torrential rains and lightning and booming thunder in the falls rd and Roland ave corridor for sure.

Had a lot of loud, rolling thunder even when lightning was pretty far away, and several very close strikes. And obviously lots of heavy rain. Not sure how much we got, but had to be at least a couple inches, plus additional rain around 5 this morning. I think the two biggest lightning and thunder storms for this summer for me have come within the past couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 With last night's thunderstorms, 2018 became the 24th year on record during which Baltimore received 50" or more precipitation during a year. Through 6 am, Baltimore has received 50.77" of precipitation. 2018 now ranks as the 22nd wettest year on record. The most annual precipitation is 62.66", which was set in 2003. That figure may be reachable this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Wow wild night. Storms woke me up after 1 and kept me up for awhile. Nearby PWS says 1” total. Nearly constant t&l for over an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 1.5" from yesterday and overnight, heavier stuff stayed to my south. 1 person was killed in the Richmond area tornado yesterday, making it the first tornado death related to a tropical system since TS Debby in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looks like we picked up about 1.5” in Burke yesterday/overnight. My soaked sponge of a yard claims there was more, though. Really heavy shower just passed though. Poured for a good 10 minutes, which resulted in rapids rushing down the curbs of our cul de sac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I was woken up by some house-rattling thunder last night around 1. Seemed to go on for at least 30-40 minutes. 1.68" here yesterday and overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 34 minutes ago, EastCoast NPZ said: Yes, please. Crazy + PNA forecasts being forecasted in the longterm, and coinciding with a pretty drastic decline in the SOI. Expect cooler to win out finally . One thing that caught my eye when looking at the PNA is the always persistent + NAO , I think give or take a day, the last time the NAO was negative more than two days was in early June. Loooking back at some recent summers , there had at least been some intervals of a negative NAO , not this summer, what if anything that means for the winter I have no idea .

(although a mini train moving up from the SW) Also, on of the TV mets had the Euro calling for a lot of action for our area today vs. the GFS that had all the action staying in the mountains to the W. Looks like the Euro won. Last night's T&L and rain show gave me roughly .5 inch. Rain gauge said 1.52 this am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With nocturnal elevated convection, there is a stable layer at the surface with an unstable layer above.

MN Transplant Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Looked at the CoCoRahs data for VA and MD this morning. The top stations are now going over 60" on the year. 50"+ is pretty common too. I'm at 52.58". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harv_poor Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I have a question on the daily readings. The CWG reported rainfall of 1.26 inches at Reagan yesterday. If I look at the hour by hour, I get 0.58 by the 11:52 PM reading. The 12:52 AM reading has an additional 0.68 bringing the total to 1.26 as reported. Is this because the additional 0.68 fell in the eight minutes between 11:52 and midnight or possibly because you count the 12:52 readings as the prior day? Or is the 12:52 counted only during DST? It would seem this would also apply to max and min temperatures for each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
