I may have been wrong about the slug then
-
When did the Euro go down the tubes? A decade ago it was near infallible.
-
I'm guessing the dry air acted as an anti-rain force field?
-
So what caused this one to fail this hard?
-
Every time it's been dry like this and a large amount of rain is promised it always massively underperforms. I heard that some places only got 5 percent of what was forecasted.
-
If it failed this hard I think it needs a "what went wrong" writeup.
-
So I was right? That big slug was false hope?
-
Yeah, massive dud. Is that slug coming from NC going to be a false hope?
-
Seriously, why is it when it’s been dry and there’s a forecast of widespread totals of 1 inch plus the real totals get walked back by 75-90 percent?
-
So how long until there’s a rainfall futility or an “is it ever going to rain again” thread?
-
Downsloping killed the rain from the west, what’s killing us now?
-
So is there going to be a “what went wrong” write up or is it too soon?
-
Good thing temp issues won't be the problem when it comes to rain. Also downsloping shouldn't kill us in the corridor because it's coming from the east.
-
So what’s the mechanism that causes storms fizzle just as they reach the 95 corridor?
-
Steady rain is better for relieving dry soil anyway. Torrential rains just run off.
-
Us getting hit by a named storm is a once, maybe twice a decade occurrence. Since 2010 we got Irene in 2011, Sandy in 2012 as it transitioned into an extratropical, and Isaias in 2020 turned into a nor’easter when it was directly over us.
-
Ever since 2017 we’ve always had a relatively rainless month followed by the floodgates opening.
-
Well it can’t properly absorb into the ground if it’s torrential. These storms are terrible drought busters for that reason, it’s the same reason we got news stories of big rain storms in California barely making a dent in their drought a decade ago.
-
One map said DC would get 2 inches. It got 0.51.
-
Because of Ninas post 2016 I'm preemptively writing off this upcoming winter and the one after it since Ninas tend to go back to back. Our next realistic shot for a blockbuster season is winter 2026-2027.
-
So is there going to be a "what went wrong" writeup about this? Looks like it fizzled out completely.

So how much will the forecasted rain totals be walked back?
-
Every time I fly out of BWI there's a thunderstorm. In 2021 one delayed me, in 2022 one caused my flight to re route to go around the storm, and last year one hit while I was waiting at the gate. I'll be flying again at 6 am on the 1st, lets see if the streak continues.
-
After it being 63 three days earlier instead of 73.
-
A repeat of 22-23 so that way this past winter’s underperformance hurts even more.
