Bob Chill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any thoughts as to whether that eastern wall to the precip just now getting to northern Delaware will get to central Maryland before the storm rotates up through, i.e., will this rain stop for a bit later this evening? It would seem so from radar watching, but it also appears that the southeast side to the storm is filling back in with clouds and so there may be plenty of precip to come. How should the dynamics there play out? Center passes to our north. If there is a break in precip it will be brief. Edge of heavy precip S of acy is already starting to rotate N.

North Balti Zen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We are soon the point where someone funny on here posted that image a few days ago and said "the megalopolis goes dark now"....

Yeoman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 BWI/DCA are closing in on record low pressure.. both into the low 970s now. (edit: DCA was mid 970s last report but dont see 6pm) Going to be easily beat I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 10pm-4am is going to be insane. surprising, I've been checking out Dover and their obs haven't been a whole lot worse than what we've been experiencing and that's where our heavy stuff is coming from http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KDOV.html I notice a fair amount of dry air getting entrenched on the NE/N flanks of the center of Sandy so maybe that will help to kill some of those winds...maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symblized Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Center passes to our north. If there is a break in precip it will be brief. Edge of heavy precip S of acy is already starting to rotate N. Thanks. That was my reasoning as well, but I wasn't sure whether there would be a break for a while considering the breakup of the classic cyclonic structure. When I saw Zwyts' post of the modeled precip, though, I deleted my original post because if there's a possible 4 additional inches of rain then any break must be pretty brief. TL;DR: thank you for the confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wonder if anyone will record anything over 100 from this? 94 is insane though! Well, if you count Mt Washington, it's already happened.

Bob Chill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 New band rotating in seems to have ratcheted it up a notch. Pretty heavy roars. I wish it was still daylight! Edit: wrong thread. On Topic: center of circulation is just starting to hit the brakes. Simply an amazing event. And the models have done an unbelievable job with something so extraordinary.
