A sip of rain ... Sept. will end very dry
What a beautiful sound that was - the patter and splash of rain, the peals of thunder. Too bad last night's storms didn't have more of an impact on the region's rain totals for the month, which will now end for Baltimore as the fourth-driest September on record.
The rain gauge here on the WeatherDeck in Cockeysville stopped at 0.18 inch after last night's rain. For the month, the total is a mere 0.53 inch.
Out at BWI, where the numbers really count, there was just a trace of rain. That means the month's total will likely halt at 0.35 inch. The totals for last night's storm were a bit better north and west of BWI, but not very impressive:
Inner Harbor: 0.47 inch
Frederick: 0.29 inch
Reagan National: Trace
Dulles International: 0.59 inch
York (PA) Airport: 0.08 inch
Here's the NWS daily rainfall map, which can be a bit tricky to decipher. Be patient. Hit the "enlarge" arrow button to blow it up, and you'll figure it out.
There's still a chance for a shower this morning, but not much of one. And the forecast for the next week looks beautiful, but dry.
