The low spots are along I81, exactly where you’d expect them to be. Except the Dulles area which is a relative min. The high spots are in the SE part of VA, again, expected.

If you go to View Data and then the total precip summary link, you can get the data. Have to be careful about who is submitting every day and who only occasionally does it.

The closest PWS to me is at 35.85" for the year, though there are no reports from January 1 through February 4. Seems they report pretty regularly.

For the past month I've watched storms and microbursts move around me the "highlight" being a microburst that hit Sterling a few miles to my north followed by the one that hit Franklin Farm, Reston, Vienna, etc. A couple miles to my south and southeast on August 13th. Believe it or not I haven't mowed the grass since Saturday, July 17th (over 5 weeks). The recent rains have finally allowed the grass to grow enough that I will mow it tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know late August is still pretty early...just hoping it's not one of those years where we wait until early October to truly knock down the temps. I'm sure a big front will come through in September - but we can rebound behind those if the return flow and H5 pattern is "right" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC_WX Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, H2O said: This weather sucks IAD is only showing +1.6F for the month. Kind of a testament to how warm the new normals are I guess. It's also easy to forget we were solidly negative for the first 7 days of the month (and +4.7 since 8.8). If the next 4-5 days were not predicted to be so hot the overall month would finish solidly...normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lightning tho. Little bit of wind. Yeah that was an amazing downpour. Was at the garden center of Lowes on the north side of town when it started. I had just noticed the deep orange moon rising when it suddenly just started pouring overhead. For about five minutes it was a deluge, yet the sky to the east was clear enough for the moon to be totally visible. It was a little surreal and just gorgeous.
