mappy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 yay thunder! pouring rain on the drive in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Couple nice strikes within a mile. Most exciting weather in weeks. Same here. It's nice to see the action but I think I liked the backdoor front last night better. 84F to 53F in 3 hours. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Had one T&L at around 615 at home. Now just periodic heavy rain in Greenbelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Also saw my first two lightning flashes of the spring season on the drive in. This rain should go a long way toward starting the various lawns/grass to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks like all of the models want to pop up a shower or storm with the actual front later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nice thunderstorm last night. Ended up sleeping through the passage of the squall line though. Picked up 0.89" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 So apparently I missed a squall line? Anybody have a radar image or loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The grass should explode after this rain. Good soaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wow over performer. 1.72 overnight out at my WV place. Going out tomorrow with U haul to move stuff out. Happy and sad day for me letting go of that property. Not sure when I will shut down the weather station out there? In any case soon there will be one less station in WV and one more station here in VA. Should be spectacular weather for moving stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 1.00 in my station up here. So looking at radar the 100% chance of rain for my area tonight is not looking like it will happen. I guess that was a premature call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The grass IMBY is already much greener than it was even a week ago. 68 in my bedroom without any AC, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I guess that was a premature call? Well what I meant was that as of 10:39 last night I did not think it would start before midnight. Looking back at radar it looks like it may have started just before midnight, but also my station is not set up to record so the rain gauge resets at midnight. So as of midnight this morning is when I accumulated that inch. I knew it would rain, but I did not get any rain before the end of the day. So I don't think it was too premature based off of start time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Looks like all of the models want to pop up a shower or storm with the actual front later this afternoon. THE BACKDOOR BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TOWARD THE MASON-DIXON LINE THIS AFTERNOON WHILE THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY PASSES THROUGH THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL CAUSE MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO POP UP LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. MODERATE INSTABILITY...MID-LEVEL DRY AIR WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON THE WATER VAPOR LOOP AND A SUFFICIENT WIND FIELD ALOFT SUGGESTS THAT STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR T-STORMS WILL BE NEAR AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. Temp at home has popped to 69 and clouds are thinning. Was muggy when I stepped outside at lunch. First DPs in the 60s at DCA I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
