  1. DCA 100, 103, 105, 100 BWI 100, 104, 106, 99 IAD 99, 103, 105, 98 SBY 97, 102, 105, 103 RIC 100, 104, 105, 101 Total sum rain 1.26
  2. Well can't send in a Cocorah's report tomorrow. Regulation flag pole in the backyard came down and took out the rain gauge. After last night's full tornado outbreak in Indiana and Illinois that went underforecasted, I kinda expected some events here to overperform.
  3. I was in the supercell 24 years ago as well. Very heavy rain HP supercell and then the back half of the storm passage was all hail. I did see what became the 2nd tornado/waterspout as this storm crossed into the Bay....but overhead in southern St Charles...rapidly rotating funnel maybe no more than 100 to 200 feet above us. The trees were swaying but none fell. That was immediately preceded by some clearing and the steam coming up from all the hail. Just an incredible storm. I drove down to La Plata and I remember so many windows busted along the way by hail. Then seeing the guard rails wrapped around the tops of the trees a considerable distance away from the 301/Rt 6 intersection. Wild stuff.
  4. Vance AFB OK tornado is a Tornado Emergency now
  5. Final total of 5.0" here and a 6 to 1 ratio. Nice event.
  6. Pouring snow for the past 90 minutes!!! Glorious, all surfaces are caving.
  7. All snow now and large chunky flakes in Charles County, agree with diatae^^^^
  8. Snow is mixing in now here in central Charles County
  9. Norlun from Frederick through Springfield to Waldorf would be awesome!!!! Event with such details and bands of snow that will boom and bust over such short distances
  10. President's Day 1 Blizzard in February 1979 here in southern MD is the gold standard for winter storms......bar none. Extreme rates, surprise factor, massive drifting, low temperatures. That storm had it all. This one isn't a cold storm. But it could be a wet paste bomb.
  11. 27 degrees and steady freezing rain here between Waldorf and LaPlata
  12. Avoid the potential devastating freezing rain event and then let's enjoy the big snow-sleet/mix/severe cold.
  13. Steady light snow and cars being topped and mulch/grassy areas starting to whiten.
  14. Flurries/light snow with small flakes at the moment.
  15. I can confirm some sleet and freezing rain in Charles County under very light returns.
  16. Actually a couple miles south of Waldorf.
  17. A short burst of sleet here for the past minute.
  18. It's 76/57 and quite breezy/windy(15-G30ish) here in Charles County as well. I'm sure the higher elevations are gusting quite well ahead of this system.
  19. Looks like some are going to see training storms in the DC Metro from NW to SE.
  20. Showers and heavy thunderstorms are certainly scattered across the risk area. Some training bands have formed. Looks exactly like the forecast discussion from LWX this morning where they said the heaviest rains were possible but not everyone will get rain or heavy rain totals. The WPC expanded the Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall down along the I64 corridor through Richmond and Williamsburg area. Certainly some focus to south central and central Virginia that may not have been as evident this morning, but it is high octane air and along a stalled front.
  21. Weather Prediction Center has much of our area east of the Blue Ridge and north of Fredericksburg in a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall today.
