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...

Ian Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm horribly unimpressed with the rainfall rates right now. looks like some good banding for a few hours coming up. either way a nice soaking for the "drought" i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hope so. West of town per climo? could be.. right now we have one pointed at us moving north it appears tho it might rotate a bit west perhaps. if only it was feb (it would be dry and warm).

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...
MN Transplant Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 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. 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.

BTRWx Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 My weatherbug is approaching 1" (.97"), so I don't see this as a bust at all. The 12Z GFS must have been an off run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Closing in on .50 for the day....best rates so far...this push may double my totals for the day...leave for Pitt at 5 and I am still trying to figure out which route will show me the most snow along the way...right now I am leaning towards 70 to 68 to 79 although the 70 to 76 route may have snow for a longer stretch since 68 will take me pretty far West before turning North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
