March 12th Heavy Rain Event Observations

Recommended Posts

The 6z High res NAM shows a widespread 2-4" rain for today while the rest of the guidance is pointing to widespread 1-1.5"+ rainfall. While the high res is likely overdone, the current radar looks very impressive out towards PA and western NJ. The NWS has been forced to issue a flood watch for a large portion of central and northern New England due to the combination of heavy rainfall and snow melt.

 

Post current observations here...

 

51 degrees and light rain.

Rain, 50. No snow to speak of here. Radar looks beautiful, too bad it's not 20 degrees colder :)

Looks like the heaviest of the rain is going to stay a bit NW of us out towards extreme NE PA and western NJ. Some stronger echos are starting to build a bit southwest of Philly though. That should make it into the city in the next 2-3 hours.

 

A pretty solid low topped squall line passed through the DC area and still looks good on radar.

 

I'm unsure about any strong wind gusts that may be associated with it. I know they are currently reporting a gust to 25MPH at DCA.

Lots of ponding on the roadways, looks like that heavy line of showers will be moving through shortly and ending the rain shortly after. Very mild out too with temps in the mid 50s

Some nice winds in the last hour (est 40mph in gusts)  Building seas and some minor coastal flooding as well as an eastrly ground-swell that has been running since last week will hit the beaches hard. The Large swell associated with last weeks noreaster took away most of the gains we have made since Sandy. The recent storm also acted to widen the breach on Fire Island to a size that makes it a new inlet that may not be viable to fill.
