Having some serious wind with the thunderstorm here...wind started gusting even before the rain started! Ain't seen the rain go sideways in awhile, lol

Some upper 70s pixels on the Sterling velocity scan as it crosses 50 between Middleburg and Aldie.

Columbia — Just had 0.41” in hardly 10 mins followed by immediate heavy sunshine.

Wonder if it’ll fuel up enough to support this bad boy to the west

Definitely impressive. You can see it on radar blasting wind out of it. It looks like the storm is collapsing. 

[RickinBaltimore]

Wind just started going nuts about 5-10 minute ago, no rain yet but can see the shelf cloud rolling in.

My neighbors PWS around 0.2”, but it did come quick. Round 2 looks good for now. Rain on back to back days!? That’s allowed?

I drove through this storm. Turned off 50 onto 606 north on the west side of the airport. That’s when it started. 

White knuckled it home to ashburn - couldn’t see a damn thing on the road. Car was shaking in that wind. My wife was terrified 

Thank goodness we got home ok

Rain-X really helps a lot with visibility in down-pours.  Seriously.  Been using it since the early 80's. 

[87storms]

Pretty healthy cg lightning nearby.

[87storms]

Clumpy, tropical raindrops in progress.

[RDM]

.94" In the last 25mins.  Some gusty winds in the outflow to ~30mph

If this doesn't work out for most... then you are doomed. JMO.

Just had the first real light-tower action in up nw. 

Some gusty winds as an overture, but the T&L didn't start kicking in until 15 minutes or so after the heavy rain commenced. 

[dailylurker]

I'm just sitting on my patio smoking a joint of some Blueberry Cupcake that I grew. The sky is getting dark, wind is picking up. It's a beautiful evening. 

Edit: The rain has moved in. Big ole raindrops. 

[Round Hill WX]

Wow...2.46" this afternoon. Finally! 

[MN Transplant]

Going to end up around 0.70”, which will be the highest daily report since early April

[RickinBaltimore]

3rd time since 530 that it's just pouring rain here.

[wawarriors4]

Truly comical how the rain broke up on approach to the FXBG area. Grande total of 0.02” very crispy in the yard less than 4.00” of rain since June 1.

Brushed again by a cell to the north.  3 minutes of rain.  These cells are small and moving fast today.  Hard rain, but no duration.  Strange.  It feels like a spring pattern where the small cells pop up and move quickly.  Nickel and diming.  But, it is refreshing to at least see big drops and hard rain.  Picked up another .13".

.23" on the day.

Looks like you are getting a bonus cell this evening.  Much better coverage overall than most days this summer.

This one actually hit me flush.  The rain intensity was not like it was earlier, but this has been better than anything since at least July 4.  I'm waiting for it to stop before I go check the gage.  Certainly the daily has topped anything since May.

[WxUSAF]

Almost 0.5”. 2” since Monday. 

[Paleocene]

Nice (dry) evening at Dolly Sods. 70 ish

[nw baltimore wx]

Had some damage with a tree limb falling across the neighbor’s driveway. We were both lucky he had left the house not ten minutes earlier. 

 

 I told him where my chainsaw is and that I don’t gaf because I’m hiking in New Hampshire and Vermont.

[Jrlg1181]

0.02 for the day 

0.03 for the month

2.68 total since May 18th and that includes a storm last week that dropped 0.83

[EastCoast NPZ]

Rained 5 times today.  First 4 were scrapes, last was flush, but the intensity wasn't great by then, it looked better on radar.  The last was the most since July 4 and the daily .58" was the most since late May.  .81" since Thursday, but it's taken 9 rounds to get there.

Today:

.10"

.13"

.02"

.03"

.30"

[Harv_poor]

A lot of damage in the Roland Park area of Baltimore. Daughter reported both Cold Spring and Kitterey blocked by trees down and part of Roland Ave flooded. Loss of power in many places.

[Interstate]

Two day total. 2.80

Hey another rain cluster that falls apart before reaching here , when you are now trailing our friend East Coast Npz you know you're area is a newly formed desert with no reason to plant anything in the spring/summer right now ....

Seriously very little convective precip in the growing season here the last two years...
