Great for plant recovery. Not much for ground replenishment, however with the trees shutting down early this year, we should start seeing recovery around trees too.

Pretty good illustration of the rain shadow effect on the eastern side of the Catoctins with precip forming as it nears the next round of hills to the east.  I'm over-simplifying, but it is interesting how the change of winds can impact precip chances (for better or worse) for those right along the Blue Ridge.  The Shenandoah Valley and maybe some areas further north catch a rain shadow from both the Appalachians to the west and Blue Ridge to the east.  Models not taking downsloping into account is probably one of the reasons why so many busted forecasts occurred back in the day, especially with clippers.

Drove through heavy rain on 95 near Catonsville. Traffic down to 5-15mph.

That was about the max speed I could drive the six-mile long commute to Fort Belvoir from my house this morning around 0615....driving rain in which you couldn't see across the street. My typical 12 minute commute took 25-30 min. Most streets on post were flowing with several inches of water, and I'm sure I ruined a pair of loafers attempting to cross one. Don't know how much rain NoVA got between about 0600 and 0730...but it HAD to be inches.
