Sunday storms were hit-or-miss, again
Woke up and heard all this talk about trees down and outages in the region due to Sunday's storms. But all we had out on the WeatherDeck in Cockeysville were a couple of brief morning showers. The rest of the day was humid, but mostly rain-free.
Oh, we heard some thunder, in the distance. But no rain to speak of beyond the morning showers.
It was another day of hit-or-miss storms across Central Maryland. The Sun's weather station, at Calvert and Centre streets, shows 1.72 inches. BWI-Marshall Airport reported 0.99 inch.
Here are some of the totals, from the CoCoRaHS Network:
Columbia, Howard County: 2.00 inches
Catonsville, Baltimore County: 1.91 inches
Laurel, PG: 1.66 inches
Columbia, Howard: 1.64 inches
Severn, Anne Arundel: 1.34 inches
Jarrettsville, Baltimore County: 1.17 inches
Hamilton, Baltimore City: 1.06 inches
Pasadena, Arunde: 0.88 inch
Crofton, Arundel: 0.85 inch
Towson, Baltimore County: 0.49 inch
Bel Air, Harford: 0.40 inch
Salisbury, Wicomico: 0.25 inch
Taneytown, Carroll: 0.06 inch
Comments
A lovely rain in Mount Vernon, no flooding or outages. Perfect day for a nap, which I took advantage of.

We had some significant hale in Hampden during Sunday's storm, also significant rainfall.
Where do we stand in terms of soil moisture? Have the recent storms helped, or have they been too hit-or-miss?
FR REPLIES: It's helped some more than others. But all of our dry weather worries may be washed away next week if Irene makes it this far.
