What's your weather?

Heavy rains since Monday evening.  I don't know how many inches we've gotten.  I do know that I've heard two straight nights of thunder, with more this morning.  Roads are flooding.  Schools, which did not close for the eclipse, are opening late.  I'm afraid this is going to hurt a collaboration we had scheduled with the public schools for today.

We had a hot day here in the metro Baltimore/DC area:

I stayed inside the library most of the day.

Five inches of rain at our house, after storms off and on all weekend. More heavy weather (storms and heavy rain) predicted for Thursday night. Creeks and rivers are approaching/above flood stage all over the region; the Mississippi was full of logs, trees, and debris when I crossed this morning.

No serious flooding here, but in some places out in the county roads have been temporarily impassable.  One staff member called off yesterday because the roads were so bad where she lived.

It was very bright earlier this morning.  Now it's clouding over.  We're supposed to have another long siege of rainy weather start in a couple of days.  That could cause some problems.

The bottom dropped out on me this morning as I was walking to work.  If it had started only 20 minutes later I'd have made it to work safely.  Twenty minutes earlier and I'd have known to drive instead.  As it is, my legs and feet are pretty well soaked.  I'm just glad I made it okay through the thunder and lightning, which I would not have chanced if I'd known it was that imminent. 

Looks like pretty much nothing but rain, rain, and more rain in the extended forecast.  Coming on top of everything we've already had, I'm afraid we're going to be looking at a real problem for the local economy, and possibly some flooding in places.
