PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Storm total: 4.15” Monthly total: 6.70” I had hoped things were going back to normal IMBY the last few months- nope, we’re back to the extreme pattern of 2018-2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 1 hour ago, CAPE said: The general pattern this week into next weekend looks conducive for multiple chances of heavy rain and possible flash flooding, with the mid week period being influenced by the remnants of Fred. Just looked at the hi-res rainfall totals and several locales along and south of a line from DC to Dover have seen 4-6" over the past 72 hours. There have been two corridors of heavy rainfall the past two weeks one from Dover East and Southeast and another from Philadelphia East Northeast across central Southern New Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been much more localized. Nothing like the widespread above normal rains for the coastal plain like say last year. Just under 3" for the month here, but there are places just to my south and east that have twice that in the last 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your area is in a precip min hole compared to the general area. Looks like a max of an inch for the month from NE MD into N DE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well, after 4 weeks of basically nothing, 1.26 inches fell here, with about 95% of that falling between 10 and 11 pm. Majority ran off, but least things are damp this morning, win. Oh, and that (1.26) is a new daily record, lol. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlwx Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 USGS indicates the gauge at Four Mile Run in Alexandria picked up just about 4 inches of rain. It almost hit flood stage, but is back down. DCA picked up 2.62 for the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to contain most of it to a small area. Still more to do but no major damage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 My station at one point read a 3.90”/hr rainfall rate. Ended up with 1.78” over night. WOW! Wish I could have been up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The lightning was so intense and of such a long duration that it recharged the battery on my deck's solar lights so they ran until dawn. Normally, this time of year they conk out by 2 a.m. I also noticed that for quite a while the lightning was a combination of your standard white along with flashes with a red tinge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 2.24” radar estimate for last night IMBY. I was tired and just didn’t feel like waiting around, and even when one huge strike woke us up just past midnight, I put my head down and went back to sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 As we were packing up to come home from OC early yesterday morning, we had a surprise thunderstorm develop literally a few thousand feet to the east and move away, which I was glad for since we were loading the car. I got to see some great lightning strikes over the water and could see the heavy curtain of rain maybe 2000 feet away. I tried taking a pic but it didn't work. It was a good view of what it looks like when I get Germantowned with a storm missing me by a mile or two. Here is what it looked like on radar as it blew up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Very concerned about the areas that got crushed last night for the week ahead. Multiple chances for more large rain totals this week, perhaps as soon as very late tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter for example. Spot on. Very strange. We were missed the deluge of multiple rounds of t-storms over a 2+ week period. Finally got a good gully washer Friday night, with the 70mph winds that came with that round and "1.80. Last night we got .32" while less than 2 miles away got nailed. Sorry to hear about your bsmt. Hope the recovery goes well. From the looks of things for this week, more on the way this week. Parts of Alexandria are interesting and prone to flooding anyway. Throw in the rates last night and that made it even worse. Saw a report of someone getting 3" in 30 mins. That's like Bangkok during a tropical event - amazing experience.

NorthArlington101 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Bummed to be missing a fun weather week - pretty nice down here in Nags Head, but got kicked off the beach by distant thunder, as has been the theme all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
