...Major Flooding In The East...
GOOD MORNING: Amazing amounts of rainfall have been falling across the eastern United States over the past several days. As much as thirteen inches of rain has fallen since Sunday over parts of the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Delaware. Flood gates had to be opened on a dam near Laurel, Maryland, sending residents along the Patuxent River fleeing for shelters. Some of the Smithsonian Museums were closed, and the IRS Building and National Archives were flooded. The Potomac was expected to crest near flood stage, threatening beautiful Alexandria, Virginia, one of my favorite places.
TO BERYL, OR NOT TO BERYL: And the answer is no. The much ballyhooed low pressure system that has moved up the East Coast from Florida briefly threatened to become a tropical depression on Tuesday. It wouldnt have been a stretch to see it become Tropical Storm Beryl. But Hurricane Hunters indicated that the low loved inland over North Carolina before it could get its act together. Coastal Flood Warnings were in effect overnight on the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac where strong onshore winds from the low threatened to produce tidal flooding.
NOTHING EXCITING HERE: Unless you count dew points in the 50s in Summer in Alabama. Temperatures today will be running right around normal for the highs, but lower dewpoints are allowing for fairly comfortable morning readings. How about 62 tomorrow morning? Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will prevail through at least Friday. As high pressure moves off the East Coast by Saturday, a southerly flow will return and moisture levels will increase. This will allow the return of widely scattered to scattered afternoon and evening storms by then.
ON THIS DATE IN 1975: If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron, is the famous quote attributed to.Lee Trevino. Lee must not have been following his own advice as he and two other golfers were struck by lightning at the Western Open golf tournament at Oak Brook IL.
