Kmlwx Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Looking at possible analog days for this weekend... Just a cursory (untrained eye) glance I found April 20, 2008 to be a match at least in terms of the cutoff over the eastern part of the country. That event had two tornadoes in Maryland according to LWX. May 17, 2011 also featured a cutoff low at H5 in the eastern part of the country - again two tornadoes in LWX on that day. Maybe Ian can come tell me I'm very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There appears to be something on the radar. I've forgotten what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The northern edge of the rain is tantalizingly close...I can smell it. Keeping fingers crossed it creeps a little farther to the northwest today. Even if does it won't be much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There appears to be something on the radar. I've forgotten what that means. Reminds me of the scene from Space Balls when the radar got "jammed" and the jelly came oozing out of the guy's radar terminal. Maybe that's what this is, leftover mint jelly on the radar.

nw baltimore wx Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't know where this rain came from but I hope it picks up and stays around all day. My thoughts exactly. Radar looks good and LWX bumped up pops to likely through tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Rain! Was just out you can see all the "road grime" from the lack of rain foaming up and pooling on the road surface making it slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 .33 at the airport at home. it didn't seem like it was that much but I guess it added up. 0.10" at HGR. Wasn't able to check radar yesterday, but I guess being further south helped with totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
