TUweathermanDD Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Couplet has tightened a bit on that cell. Looks better than the other did via free radar. Yea ian was taking a look at the rotation, and the last few frames indicate its a stronger, tighter couplet. We'll see what the night has in store for us.

Kmlwx Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Seems like radar is really trying to fill in in spots. Decent train setting up again. We'll see if it can light up even more. Interesting feature moving WNW as a line (currently located just west of DC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Gotta love the due north movement on radar.

Mrs.J Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You east of town. Doesn't look like 3 here.. Frederick doesn't look too far east for this latest band though, just heard thunder and it's pouring. I am in the Ballenger Creek Area so W. of 270 S. of 70.

TradeWinds Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 looks like our only chance at one of those bands is fading as they want to drift East. Light rain/drizzle continues in Frederick with an occasional moderate burst. Haven't been motivated to measure but it's still under 3" since Saturday night.
