When we get torrential rainfall rates... yes. During the fun of TS Lee and his remnants... I imagined all the rain we were getting was snow

Looks like another batch of light to moderate rain is going to be moving through shortly into the DC metro per radar

I'm over by the high school (West Springfield HS). Glad you made it home safely

I was going to say I am not far from him and I got at 2-3" of rain here in West Springfield

You should be nearing 3 inches total now, no?

00z GFS has same idea... but a lil further to the NE and a lil less QPF

Check out the 00z NAM... pretty much does the same

Only a few minutes? Interesting... been pouring here for about 15 mins

Same for you, no?

You should be getting a nice hit right now

Pouring here... nice few rumbles and lightning strikes

Heavy rain incoming this evening? https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/metwatch/metwatch_mpd_multi.php?md=553&yr=2019 Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0553 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 600 PM EDT Sat Jul 06 2019 Areas affected...Central and Northern Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 062200Z - 070300Z SUMMARY...Bands of showers and thunderstorms will focus across the Mid-Atlantic region over the next few hours, with impacts expected for the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas and adjacent suburbs involving the I-95 corridor. Flash flooding is likely, and especially around the urban centers. DISCUSSION...The latest radar and satellite imagery shows multiple bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms advancing southeast across southwest and central PA out ahead of a cold front. Meanwhile, separate smaller clusters of convection are seen over portions of southeast PA. The activity ahead of the cold front is encountering a very moist and moderately unstable airmass that is characterized by PWATs of 1.75 to 2 inches, and MLCAPE values of 1500+ j/kg. This very favorable thermodynamic environment coupled with diffluent flow aloft around the south side of a flat upper trough advancing across the Northeast. However, the convection impacting areas of southeast PA is largely attributed to locally enhanced surface convergence around the west side of a convectively induced cold pool and associated outflow boundary. This boundary extends from central NJ southwest across the western suburbs of the Philadelphia metropolitan area and down to near the Baltimore metropolitan area. The airmass from central and northeast MD up across southeast PA is very unstable and extremely moist with MLCAPE values of 2000 to 3000 j/kg, surface dewpoints in the mid 70s, and overall PWATs of 2.0 to 2.25 inches. The latest visible satellite imagery has been showing an axis of agitated CU persisting near this boundary and certainly taking advantage of very strong thermodynamics. Over the next few hours, the more organized convective line dropping southeast across southwest and central PA will encounter this strong instability and extremely moist environment closer in to the I-95 corridor and the adjacent western suburbs of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. This coupled with the aforementioned outflow boundary/cold pool situation will likely allow for numerous clusters of very heavy showers and thunderstorms to impact a large area of eastern and southeast PA, down to areas of northeast and central MD going in closer to 00Z, with development also possible across northern VA and around the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. In fact, the low-level wind field has been slowly backing over the last few hours along the I-95 corridor and east of the Blue Ridge, which is not only pooling stronger thermodynamics across the region, but also facilitating greater surface convergence downstream of the cold front as the leeside trough refocuses farther back to the west and closer to the Blue Ridge. The latest hires model suite of guidance including the HRRR favor as much as 2 to 4 inches of rain locally through mid evening, of which a large amount of that will be capable of falling in just an hour or two. Flash flooding will be likely as a result, with the threat enhanced especially across the urbanized I-95 corridor and adjacent suburbia. Orrison ATTN...WFO...BGM...CTP...LWX...OKX...PHI...

Surprised @EastCoast NPZ hasn't been in here complaining

There's another rotation marker on radarscope right now again by Middleburg... is this the mountains playing tricks again or is there real rotation there? (734pm radarscope)

Is radarscope overdoing the meso that it shows in our CWA? Like there is one right now just west of Middleburg in VA. But when you look at the base velocity (time sensitive) I don't see really any rotation at all. Am I reading it wrong? It's usually over by the BR as well

Interesting note at the end of the discussion... I have bolded it Hurricane Barbara Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022019 500 PM HST Tue Jul 02 2019 GOES-17 visible and infrared satellite images, along with passive microwave satellite data, indicate that Barbara has continued to rapidly intensify. A 15-nmi diameter clear eye with temperatures warmer than 21 deg C has developed in the center of a circular CDO feature consisting of cloud tops colder than -70 deg C. Satellite intensity estimates have been vacillating between T6.8/135 kt from UW-CIMSS ADT to T7.0/140 kt from TAFB, NHC objective-AODT, and CIMSS SATCON. Since the T7.0/140-kt estimates have only been intermittent, the intensity has been raised to a solid 135 kt, or just below the category-5 threshold. The initial motion estimate is 285/12 kt. There is no change to previous forecast discussions. Barbara is forecast to remain south of a pronounced deep-layer ridge throughout the forecast period, resulting in west-northwestward to northwestward motion through 48 hours, followed by a turn toward the west by 72 hours when Barbara is expected to be a rapidly weakening and vertically shallow cyclone. The latest NHC track guidance is tightly packed around the previous forecast track, so the new official forecast track is essentially just an update and an extension of the previous advisory track, and closely follows a blend of the consensus models HCCA, TVCE, and TVDG. Barbara has probably peaked in intensity, although another 5-kt increase in strength tonight during the convective maximum period is a distinct possibility, which would bring the powerful hurricane to category 5 status. However, all of the available intensity guidance is unanimous in indicating a weakening trend will begin in 12 hours or so due to the development of cold upwelling beneath the hurricane, coupled with a likely eyewall replacement cycle. The 26-deg-C SST isotherm lies east-west along 17N latitude, and Barbara is forecast to move over much cooler waters by 48 hours, at which time more prodigious cold upwelling beneath the cyclone is expected to develop, causing a rapid weakening trend to ensue. Increasing southwesterly to westerly vertical wind shear in excess of 20 kt is forecast to develop by 96 hours, resulting in Barbara degenerating into a post-tropical low by the time the cyclone moves west of 140W longitude and into the central Pacific basin. The new NHC official intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory, and is a little lower than the intensity consensus models HCCA and IVCN. NOTE: Beginning this hurricane season, all National Hurricane Center eastern Pacific advisory products that utilize local time, and the corresponding graphical products, will use Hawaiian Standard Time (HST) instead of Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) or Standard Time (PST) if the final forecast point is west of 140W. Since Barbara's day 5 official forecast point is now west of 140W, advisory products are now being issued in Hawaiian Standard Time.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of the eye of powerful Hurricane Barbara was located near latitude 13.1 North, longitude 124.6 West. Barbara is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this general motion is forecast to continue for the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the northwest on Thursday. By Friday, Barbara is expected to turn back toward the west with an increase in forward speed. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts. Barbara is a strong category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strengthen is expected tonight. A steady to rapid weakening trend is forecast to begin by Wednesday afternoon. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 933 mb (27.55 inches).

Looks like @adelphi_sky is going to get a nice hit

I don't think so either, but the article I linked made it seem that there is a logjam at the goalie position for the Caps and something will have to give there... be it Copley or Samsonov moved if Holtby stays and resigns after the season

Welcome to the forum! I am guessing you already have, but PM @dendrite re the red tag ETA: I am sure you have been here too already, but just in case --
