« Showers will clear decks for fine holiday weekend | Main | A chilly day in May »
The National Weather Service forecast office out at Sterling, Va., has issued a revised rainfall map covering all five days of showers and downpours from May 8 through 12. It's pretty darned impressive, especially if you live in Calvert County or parts of Anne Arundel, Prince George's County and Northern Virginia, where there seem to be patches with more than 8 inches. Feast your eyes:

I'd rather feast my eyes on some sunshine, for like 200 days in a row. Is this a May record?
FR: Me, too, Alex. But hang in there. Sunshine is on the way for Thursday and through the weekend. We did set three daily rainfall records at BWI last week. But May rainfall is still well short of the record for the month. We're topping 7 inches with today's rain, I suspect, but the record is 8.71 inches, set in May 1989. Don't think we'll get there this year.
