You would think that with such an extended dry period we wouldn't have to worry about flooding, wouldn't you?

Every single rain event in the past few years seems to produce flooding in some part of the DC area.

Every single one!!

The summerlike mid-60s dewpoints during the heaviest rain didn't help.

Too much rain in too little time will get you no matter how dry things are.

We're also reaching the time of year where the plants, trees, grass, etc. are no longer drinking the rain water like they were during the summer. So it wouldn't take as much rain in a given amount of time to lead to flooding. I guess the lower sun angle leading to less evaporation also adds to this to an extent.

You sure? That seems a bit high given the reports from the rest of the region and in your general area.

MG-
My ending guess was definitely high. 3.54” total per my Tempest weather station (no rain bucket).

I’m about 2 miles WSW of Oregon Ridge Park. Once the rain started, it poured here the entire time with a severe t-storm cell directly overhead for about 15-20 minutes. Buckets.

I have a Tempest wx station as well. The haptic rain sensor can have a slight overbias during prolonged heavy rain, and a slight underbias during prolonged drizzle or light rain.
