wxmeddler Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Might go wind chasing locally around 9 pm. We have some 900ft hills that lie in a N-S direction. With a good NE wind could get some 55-60 gusts. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Dulles is struggling. If DCA doesn't see a 0.25" at some point hourly I'm gonna lose it. I don't think we'll see 0.25". If we can average 0.15/hr through 10pm, that gets DCA close to 1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeRedheads Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Dulles is struggling. If DCA doesn't see a 0.25" at some point hourly I'm gonna lose it. I am underwhelmed by our totals out here. We had a burst of heavy rain yesterday and light rain and mist for remaining period. Only .17 in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I don't think we'll see 0.25". If we can average 0.15/hr through 10pm, that gets DCA close to 1.5". better for soil absorption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only .17 in the bucket. Yeah, that's too bad. I'm over 0.8" total now. You should do better over the next few hours with the enhancement of the stuff coming up from Richmond. better for soil absorption You couldn't ask for a better rainfall for the vegetation.
