We’ve got some Tropical Storm Warnings and Hurricane Local Statements issued in the region here, but this one’s just gonna be a good gully-washer.
Minor Rainstorm Alberto hitting land around Panama City FL where it could cause as much as $5 damage.
Meanwhile parts of Maryland are being swept away by a line of thunderstorms. No name, but a real disaster.

$5 damage???
That’s a fish stand!
I know you likely meant $5M?
TVA closed Boone lake, drained it for dam repairs. Told two years ago it would get refilled in 2018. Now it is 2020 ... who knows when it will be a hydroelectric dam again. A privets company bought the public utility (Brightridge?), so this seems like a set up of some sort, to get rates high (using coal) and profit when the dam opens again.
Well now... that minimal-hurricane-at-landfall scenario just popped up.
Was thinking the same thing. Alberto was quite the non-event here. The dogs and cat were out playing in the yard all day.

Joe Bastardi called it on Friday!
Baltimore is underwater right now. Foot and a half on the beltway, three downtown.
If one of several troughs due thru here next week grabs El Barto, that whole city will need snorkels.
Best evacuation zone map I’ve seen so far...
Goodness. We’re in for a wet and windy one according to the models. Thanks for posting.
I meant $5 ... and yeah, a fish stand. Gone.
We have weather like this every day from October to March on the west coast and never a name. Not wishing to downplay the storm but it’s fairly tame compared to last year’s big monster canes.
;-)
for sure.
I am pleased to see I am sill on the Hurricane list. #1 son is on board Cherry Point MAS and I need to keep up with this.
I’ve been after him to get himself a generator.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Beryl is supposed to fizzle out in a few days.
