I might get close to 1.00” but there was a mini split over me until the line consolidated; however, when it opened up it *really* opened up.

GATECH Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Entering the strange pink sky phase of the storm. Went from grey to green to pink. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That line probably won’t make it here until 2am, if it does at all. There was enough rain to make the pavement wet earlier this afternoon. I’m afraid it won’t rain much later if we miss this here, but I guess time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just got back and it’s a mess. street littered with small branches, moderate to large branches down, seen one tree split in half.

wawarriors4 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Picked up 2.61” of rain with numerous branches down around my yard. All since 8:50 PM this evening. The creek that was a trickle is now raging in the backyard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Nada here (again) although thunder was heard before I took off to Roanoke around 2 pm. THEY (northern Roanoke) got a whopper of a storm between 6-7 pm, I'd estimate 3-4 inches fell in about 45 minutes, water running high and everywhere!

It's like the atmosphere just wants to dump rain in small areas and leave everyone else dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good thing I got lots of hot, dry, sunny conditions the last 2 days (give or take 3 months) to prepare for the coming hot, dry, sunny period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two closest CoCoRaHS reports come in at 0.26" and 0.56". That honestly seems low given the amount of water that fell from the sky for 20-30 minutes. Our pond is also nearly overflowing, whereas before the rain there was well over an inch between the water level and the top of the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if you stayed under an inch based on radar estimates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Today might be the last best chance for DCA and BWI to make a run at 100F. Looks seasonable to slightly below normal (gasp) for the next 7+ days after today. That sort of extreme heat is not impossible after August 10 certainly, but becomes increasingly anomalous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend into mid next week looks gorgeous. Unless you want rain. Beyond that the GEFS wants to build some WA ridging, but not sure it will result in anything more than typical late summer heat and humidity. For the BIG HEAT mongers, time is running out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
