Poolesville mesonet site has recorded nearly 1" of rain in the past 24 hours, yet the 4" soil moisture values have barely moved. Plants must really be soaking things up.

So far the HRRR is too dry south of I-70. Very happy for the rain. Things are so dry that our soil moisture numbers haven't budged even in southern Maryland where nearly an inch of rain has fallen.

We did some things! CC: @wxmeddler

CC says it's sleet

Through 10z Wednesday the latest HRRR has less than 0.25" QPF north of US 50 in Maryland.

Out of Service Until Further Notice.

Just give me until 12:00 pm in Poolesville.

Good. Need this to hold off until about 12:00 pm tomorrow.

Please just hold the heavy/steady stuff off until AFTER 12:00 pm tomorrow in western Montgomery County.

Just let the rain hold off until after 4pm on Tuesday.

The only wild card this winter appears to be if we get help from the EPO or PNA. Otherwise it's probably best to temper expectations.

Impressive temp and dewpoint spread across Maryland this morning. Bittinger is 40/39, while Berlin is 69/67.

It's intensely demoralizing to realize we're likely staring yet another dead ratter winter in the face. I haven't hit climo snowfall in almost a decade.
