Hang on; rain nearly done
Weather radar shows the bulk of the rainiest weather has now blown past us, with only the tail end of the storm still to our south and west.
Forecasters at Sterling say we still have a couple of hours to go. But the trailing edge of the rain shield should be past us by sunset.
We've clocked another half-inch here at The Sun since midnight, and 2.2 inches since the rain began on Wednesday. We'll get a breather for the weekend. But there's more water on the way next week. Sorry.
In the meantime, many streams in central Maryland are flowing at record volumes for the date (black dots on the linked map). Flash floods and severe storms are being reported from some locations, chiefly in Virginia and Southern Maryland.

Frank, I blame you for having wished for rain so long and hard last year... ;-)
FR: You know I love ya, baby. It wasn't my fault. Honest! I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn't my fault, I swear to God!

Someone must be suffering from a little cabin fever when they start quoting Jake from "The Blues Brothers".
FR: DING DING DING ... We have a winner!
