MN Transplant Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Over-performer? Models don't handle anomalous precipitable water values well I suppose... everything was pretty dry yesterday (a few tenths of an inch). DCA precip seems low compared to what I saw around here. DCA was out on the fringe the whole morning. Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Takoma Park all around 0.80", so I imagine much of NW DC was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Been getting raked all morning in Gaithersburg... got into work just before the rain really set in after 3:30. Hoping to catch a break in the rain when I leave. IMBY we've got easily what IAD has gotten today. Radar says you are in the zone today. Do you have a gauge? I'm curious of upper moco's totals.

Yea, forgot you live in an apartment. You could put it out in the common area. It might last a day or 2. LOL 2.39? That is impressive. Models missed this one.

IAD had 6.7" from TS Lee remnants, but that was stretched out over 5 days, with the highest being 2.27" on 9/8/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
