Sterling sticks by forecast
The National Weather Service continues to warn of possible flooding with heavy thunderstorms today and well into next week as a stalled cold front leaves us in the path of humid tropical air moving into the region from the southwest. Here's the forecast.
On the other hand, the WeatherDeck is dry this morning. And the weather instruments here show no significant rainfall since a very loud thunderstorm very early Friday morning. And it's as still as death out there, with the humidity at 91 percent.
The radar record shows that most of the rain has actually been falling well to our south, over SE Virginia and the Lower Eastern Shore. Salisbury Airport recorded nearly 2.5 inches of rain in just an hour - between 1 and 2 p.m. yesterday.
And the chatter this morning suggests that most of the rain today could along the Blue Ridge. Here's the one-hour radar loop. It will show where the rain is falling now. We can watch to see if Sterling lays an egg today.

Heavy rain here at my official Skywarn station. Since Thursday, 2.20" has fallen here in Owings Mills, MD. Looks like more moderate to heavy rainfall given the "juiced" atmosphere over this area.
