Training pockets of heavy rainfall resulted in widespread flooding yesterday but the “jackpot” area was northeastern Anne Arundel county where over a foot of rain fell! Here in Millersville, “only” 5.15″ fell. This heavy rainfall resulted in many road closures and snarled the evening commute.

The Vane has two good articles that I recommend reading that outlined what happened as well as the results with pictures from around the area.

The cold front responsible for the heavy rainfall and flooding has pushed east of the state, ushering in drier air. Expect mostly sunny skies today and highs in the low 80s.

Showers and thunderstorms likely this afternoon into tonight

A cold front is approaching from the west and will move into the area today. Expect showers and thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and last well into the night. Any shower or storm will be capable of heavy rainfall resulting in localized flooding. It will be warm and humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

The front will push through later tonight, bringing an end to the rainfall.

Behind the front, expect decreasing clouds and slightly drier air tomorrow. Expect highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 80s Friday and through the weekend. Isolated thunderstorms are possible Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Fairly typical weather for June in the mid-atlantic.
