Herb@MAWS Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Other than the fact that the farmers gotta be happy about rain at the end of June and in early July, IMBY totals are less-than-spectacular for past 3 days, given the flash flood advisories and potential: 6/30 = 0.67" 7/01 = 0.17" 7/02 = 0.02" 7/03 = it was raining at 5am, will take readings after work.

We may have had .2" since Friday. Not that I'm really complaining, since we got almost 3" of rain that day. It raining this morning, however. Sure...areas east fo the cities have gotten good rains during this time, but the areawide flash flood watches that have been going on for days *may* have been a bit much.

Mrs.J Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Normal 0.01" in the station. Has been this way since Monday. Anytime this pattern wants to move on is fine with me. The sun in the late afternoon has been a tease, and waking in the mornings reminds me of June gloom in Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 FF warning might be warranted if this rain keeps going like it has here Looks like it is lifting ever so slowly, so it won't be training over the exact same areas. 0.56", most of which is in the last 30 minutes.

MN Transplant Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I thought it might be special that the temp may not rise above 84° in the first three days of July. I was partially right, since the DCA move it has only happened three times. However, two of those have been in the last 6 years (2007, 2009), and they at least had lows in the mid-60s instead of these tropical lows.

MN Transplant Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Up to 0.91" on the day. If the Culpeper and Orange areas slide a bit more east it could start to get real wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm in need of the boards opinion and I know this is OT, but it's weather related...... I'm in a town home and neither of my immediate neighbors have down spout extensions taking the water away from their houses. I do for both front and back. When the water runs down the spout for the neighbors, it just pools on the ground. The locations of their spouts are very close to mine. Would you a) approach them about installing their own or do it for them (keeping in mind that extensions are not terribly expensive. I just want the water away from my house). And if A is the approach, do you it do anyway if they do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Absolutely blitzed this morning. SW stuff looks HEAVY and the trajectory looks to bullseye my backyard. FF warnings may need to be issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if A is the approach, do you it do anyway if they do not? You should tell them your concerns and then explain to them the very real trouble that that water can cause. Many people just simply aren't aware of the risks. I ran mine underground and they all empty at least 20 feet away from the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 No, no water coming into the basement. I just don't want it to become an issue down the road. I guess you've got water coming in your basement?

And if A is the approach, do you it do anyway if they do not? I live in a townhome as well. I have them on my front and back also. I approached my neighbor about tying his into a central extension form my house and he was fine with it. I have yet to do it but plan to soon. A lot of other owners in my community have done this as well. Maybe they are not aware of the problems that can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Spotty lighter showers now popping up to the east of the main batch. Also, trajectory with the Manassas/Fairfax slug and the Orange slug look good for me (perhaps the Orange one will go west). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
