Ground zero of course was Ellicott City with 8.40" of rain and 10.38" of rain in Catonsville. The front providing the lift + no wind to steer anything aloft leads to slow moving storms which ride like one train car after another on a set of tracks over the same locations.Ī stalled front with high moisture and limited wind equals training storms which put out 5-10"+ of rain over portions of Howard, Baltimore, and Anne Arundel Counties. This had nothing to do with Alberto which was still churning out over the Gulf of Mexico. The front was the main player here since it stalled out providing lift and convergence for storms to gather. You combine that with humidity and a powerful backdoor cold front that dropped down from Pennsylvania and you get the trigger for big time storms. Baltimore was in a summertime airmass Saturday with highs around 91 and than 86 on Sunday. Well it's all do in part to the classic weather scenario of when air-masses collide. Many in this area know all too well of the flooding concerns with the flood last year and 13 other catastrophic floods that are on the records which date back as far as 1768. It happened again another flood with even greater magnitude than the 1,000 year event of 2016. Scary, horrifying, shocking, upsetting, and heart broken can't even define the devastation across Ellicott City and the surrounding areas.
