Ian Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Does anyone know why it seem to be dying off as it gets north? Is the whole system just running out of steam or is it just moving so slowly that, when it does arrive, it will be potentially bad catastrophic. I haven't looked as I'm doing 12 million things but it's gotta be stabilization up this way to some degree. It can only rain so much before a break. Further SE was a pretty high cape environment earlier so they probably have more to work with. It's anyone's guess as to what happens next tho I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'd really hate for anyone that's been dumped on to get more rain if they don't want it. Maybe we can get some storms to train right over DC and Arlington only? You are so one-dimensional. Go back and read all of your posts in this thread.....

Ji Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Northern VA Klingon Anti Rain Shield is operational - Look at how south central PA is getting LEVELED by thunderstorms while we sit high, dry, AND clear of clouds Dale City will see a few showers this week - but South Central PA is da Bomb for this event Good call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 a whopping .08" today from a training, severe sprinkle-storm. there are reports of numerous ant and flea drownings. on the plus side, it has now been 4 consecutive days w/o the stupid sun, and we've had 4 days of below avg temps for the first time since April 2.

mattie g Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'll never again complain about getting shafted on storms. After just missing out on a couple inches here and there this summer, I've had my fill. Given the 5"+ just from the evening storms, this little section of Burke probably ended up with nearly 9" today alone. That's really not cool.

snowdude Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Charles county and Fairfax closed tomorrow due to flooding. Still raining in Dale City, but not as heavy. Showers seem to be staying south and slowly fizzling out, but we've seen this day after day with this system. It dies and you don't see much of anything and then more develops. But we should start to see a slow down overnight and not as widespread tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If at least 2 people didn't die tonight, I would sort of be complaining that DC sort of got the shaft. All day long the band set up at the MOCO/DC border. Last night, it set up at the DC/PG border. But it's hard to complain. What would have10 inches of rain done today if it had fallen on all that concrete? Flood the Metro tunnels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Portions of Fairfax County continue to receive heavy rain and roads are flooded throughout the county. The National Weather Service predicts more significant rainfall amounts beginning in the next hour. http://fairfaxcountyemergency.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've "dodged a bullet" in the city... at least it's been raining frequently for like.. forever. I'm not that convinced there is not more decent rain tomorrow at this point. The whole pattern is breaking down but it's still relatively similar. Maybe 3rd time's a charm in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for the comments. I will do nothing with them. That's fine... You will you have to just put me on ignore because I will continue to point out your whiny posts that contribute absolutely nothing to this subforum. You got over 5" of rain so far, and since you aren't an Admin, you're expendable as you continue to whine through the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Water vapor not really giving the impression this is just going to die down any time soon. The 500 low doesnt really do much to the west. It slowly weakens on its ultimate journey to washing out but it's still pretty solid tomorrow. Katia is headed out.. not sure how that plays. It was sort of a road block and perhaps a source for nudging the frontal zone around. But the 500 low to the west is the big key. It should continue to wind down but some spots can still pile up totals perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
