high risk Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 56 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: It’s a lot patchier east of DC certainly. I think areas north of I70 and west of I83 have done pretty well. The rest of us are more hit and miss. Think I’m in the 2-2.5” range since Wednesday. Over 2" at my place a few miles south of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One closest to me seems lower than I’d guess, but I think there are some very big gradients over short distances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleocene Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 HEAVY rain in the band ripping through DC right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 2.00" for the event. Definitely a very beneficial rain over several days. The wind is probably gusting over 40 at times in the past hour. Looks like it's about over here unless some training line comes through. Not much to my south so we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves barely moved. 21 minutes ago, vastateofmind said: Just out observing cloud movement on this SECOND tornado warning in about an hour, and this was the first time I've heard, from MY house, Fort Belvoir's "Giant Voice" system blaring its siren and booming "TORNADO WARNING, TAKE COVER NOW!" I do think the worst of that storm is directly over the river, and it is indeed ominous looking just to our east. That storm on radar seems to be taking a direct bead on the District...but haven't seen any additional warnings issued for the city proper in a few minutes. I just "chased" that after dropping one kid off at work. Beacon Hill area had some wind gusts but nothing bad. Elevated areas were breezy but once you got low like near Huntington it was just pouring rain. So all the rotation has to be elevated. The cloud deck is really low tho. Lots of scud. And the difference between being under the yellows and reds vs greens or nothing is huge. It POURS in these bands. Lots of street flooding and ponding of water where its dumping. My truck makes big waves in those puddles and ponding. lol Blue sky to my west now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenkinsJinkies Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Sun peeked for a minute in parkville. Here’s hoping the ran slug by DC doesn’t fizzle out on the way north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Last hurrah line about to come through my area. The wind has been pretty steady with some nice gusts for the last several hours. It's a tad humid out as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Got plenty of wind here, but looks like the rain line is to the west of us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Just gusty winds and clouds here. Very little rain since the Wed morning into early afternoon period. Hopefully a line or 2 will roll through here this afternoon. Sitting at just under an inch now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 If that band had been any slower moving through DC things would've gotten interesting quick. Soils just couldn't absorb everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soils just couldn't absorb everything. Parts of my backyard became little ponds pretty quick. Clean gutters were overflowing... it was dumping. But we've had much worse in the last years I've been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 AS much as I was following stuff last night, have there been damage reports in the area from the Confirmed tornado last night? I see some down in Central VA near Lake Caroline. I may have missed it in all the posts, but I am not seeing much from the outlets I follow.

coolio Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Got pounded so hard that I had to delay my departure time this am. I left when the rain lightened up. I'll have a full accounting of how much i got in that short timeframe tonight. DCA got 1.68" in 1 hr. Also, snapped the rushing clouds with some peeks of blue skies right after that deluge. I think it's been all clouds for the past 2 days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
