TowsonTownT Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Next question, is the line behind it going to fizzle after sundown? I suppose that at least the cooler temps will allow for some watering in the early morning without fear of it instantly evaporating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickinBaltimore Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Another round of relatively heavy rain rolling through here now. We've been fortunate to be in the line of these storms this afternoon/evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm getting nailed pretty good with heavy beneficial rain. The lightning and thunder has been pretty fun too. Best storm of the season here. It's just a steady pouring rain woohooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The classic gap has opened in the line and is approaching. I don’t have confidence it will fill in before reaching me knowing my luck. edit: looks like it’s filling back in. I forgot the same thing happened on the 4th too. edit2: Nope I was right, not a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 "Heavy rain" wording in forecast and I got a big 0.15. Total for July just 0.80 and there is no chance for any more rain for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 yeah pretty weak sauce - but we did have the most intense 4-day heat wave in DC history, so there's that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Storms were basically just thunder but we got a whole bunch of rain so I'm happy with it. Drought is def back under control for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of easily too. We had some favorable index patterns, but imagine if we had a trough dig into the West or Midwest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 4 in a row for DCA. Gotta go back to 1930 to find that. I think 1930 had a higher 4 day average but otherwise it’s this. So other illuminated folks ; how does this fit in with 2010,11,12 ? I was a 1980 hugger until the torrid terrible trio 2010-2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Just now, WEATHER53 said: It’s a big time wowser. Tell me what you think of this -what we just saw would be comparative to 4 straight days of DCA being 19 or less for a high? Perhaps? especially given the moderating conditions of the river (on both sides), unless the river was frozen I guess. It just seems it is very hard for DCA to hit 100F given the prevalent south wind in the summer, vs the more W to NW flow in the winter (which would probably lessen the effects of the river). Either way, streaks of sub 20 highs or 100+ highs are not terribly common at that location. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I wasn’t tracking yesterday’s storms because I was busy preparing for a job interview. So I just checked and saw that I got 0.52” imby. Not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Nice and damp out there. Nature seems less stressed. I received .50 yesterday and .20 on Tuesday. Thankfully the extreme heat is over for now. Probably won't be back until October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
