Ian Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i dunno who thought it would rain all day long.. it always looked like waves though we have arguably seen fewer waves than modeled. the upper low is crawling either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWX had 100% of rain today and it sounded like it would be an all day event when it stopped raining early this morning and havent had a drop since then.

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 So far, some good rain here today. A local weather station (http://winchesterweather.home.comcast.net/~winchesterweather/) has a daily tally of 0.85. We just had a 10 minute deluge where I live that I don't think he got (based on his location) so I feel safe in thinking that we are nearing one inch.

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Holy cow at that cell to the NNE of Charlottesville. I'd like to see some rain totals from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'll bet there's some potential of real flooding to the north of Charlottesville. I guess that's Orange Co? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Another soaker here today. 0.77" total. Looks like the rest of the night will be like the last few hours...some brief showers not adding more than another few hundredths. Another one Friday night and Saturday. Great pattern for filling up the ground water levels in advance of the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm crying for rain - PA and NY are stealing my rain once again. The only rain I ever get to see is the river of tears I'll unhappily cry from being smack dab in the screw zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I measured 2.4" in my rain gage this morning. By far the best total I've seen in the 10 months I've lived in Stephens City. The total seems high compared to other locales; M'burg reproted 1.47" for example. I guess the showery-type nature of the storm resulted in some variability in totals. I've found that the Stephens City area is usually on the lighter side of every event; maybe we were due. Just planted some trees and grass seed, so I'm loving it. Anyone in the Fred Co (VA) area get similar totals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 and then we got that much again overnight and this morning! the airport is at about 1.5" now for this storm. it's been a good wet start to spring out here. Yes, when I turned in last night the radar didn't look very impressive. That ULL made a left turn at a most opportune time. I measured 1.21" for the event at 7 a.m. this morning, so another 0.44" overnight here. I've totaled 9.88" since 2/21. Great benefit to the groundwater.

BethesdaWX Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 0.45" last night, I'll take all I can get at this point. Any updates on Saturday? Looks like some interesting wx being progged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like some interesting wx being progged. looks wet. track is OK but models keep bringing in activity pretty early and focus more on the rain than anything else. euro is 70s/80s all week next week. see how that plays out..
