Is everyone ok?

 

We will rebuild!

 

 

The "storms" certainly didn't bring the more widespread strong to severe winds I thought they were going to have, but there were some spotty gusts of 40-50 mph in the region. NoVA's got a handful of wind damage reports at the moment. Certainly a bust IMBY. Oh well... it happens.

I will say this...i don't recall many times in summer or whenever that we get 1.50"+ out here...impressive rainstorm for sure

Yeah that first line coming in then stalling and backing up really racked up the totals. Big moisture. Now for "how much if it was snow" questions. :P

Less wrong than NWS. Less right than me. ;)

Everyone was all excited about the big winds off the sfc but the models had it ahead of the convection for the most part. If we had instability the story could have been much different,

Heaviest precip event since Sandy.  I suppose this is enough to bring us close to normal or slightly above for the month in precip.

 

Really had all kinds of wx in the past week here...cold, mild and now wet.  Maybe it will snow in March.

Another day, another bust. DC busts on everything but heat and drought. On those two things we always overperform.

not sure this was really a bust... strong winds above the ground dont necessarily mean big event

Good lapse rates and westerly winds behind the front... sounding suggests gusts up to 40 kts are possible in DC tomorrow afternoon.

yeah i went with gusts to 40mph+ in pm update earlier.

iad sounding tonight has an inversion.. was it too contaminated or can we assume that across the area? rap has it to some degree as well.

LOL....who wrote cwg's latest FB update?  "Please be extremely careful driving tonight and remember not to drive across a flooded roadway. Turn around, don't drown."

Turn around, don't drown is actually from the NWS so idiots don't drive through flooded roadways
