BethesdaWX Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 FFW in effect for most E of the Blue Ridge WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER...LOCALIZED AREAS MAY RECEIVE 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN. I'd love 6" of rain..I'd still be below avg for the yr, but it's a start! Slightly over 3" of rain since Mid may ftl.

WinterWxLuvr Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hope everybody is enjoying their rain. Meanwhile, you could live here. This is storm total so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Beginning Sunday morning with light rain ongoing and 0.31" IMBY since Saturday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Clouds and weak LL winds will hurt severe chances today, but okay lapse rates, decent UL support and dewpoints in the lower 70s should help make things a little interesting this afternoon. Secondary low development in NC/S VA certainly won't help our poor LL wind situation as the SFC winds weaken and become more variable. RUC shows a much better setup for severe weather in the DC/MD region (which would warrant the slight risk), but it has been overzealous with the wind field and dewpoints in recent events.

Mrs.J Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Off and on stuff popping up here. We seem to get the start of a good rain and 3-5 min. later done. One thing is that if it stays this way the clay will hopefully be able to absorb it better than hours of downpour. Actually bought a rain gauge yesterday so will really get to see the amount we get.

MN Transplant Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Not sure I understand the 3-6" mention.. at least west of the bay, but ok. Over 6" in spots east of the bay, but the radar unfortunately looks just like the models. And scarily reminiscent of last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are a few dots of that range west too but that fell yesterday mostly. Yeah, I sorta had last winter flashbacks seeing the NAM last night.

If you lived in this Frederick County, you could have saved your money on a rain guage. Not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the way it has been over here this summer. We have been a rain hole, maybe me buying the gauge is helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Any chances that big area of clear skies over WV helps build up a line of storms later on? it could.. the cold front is still back in ohio. im definitely not too hopeful for a lot of rain here looking at radar but the airmass can support stuff around here still.
