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.
