snowfan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ugh.....GFS and NAM are worlds apart for this weekend. GFS keeps most of the moisture near the coast. NAM dumps along the 95 counties. All about the placement of the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about the placement of the front. 3.4" on the NAM at IAD. GFS has about 0.10" in the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 LWX seems to think that the front will position itself closer to the coast, so I'm hedging that way. Would prefer not to have too much rain in Shenandoah this weekend. #Camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Same here. Yup. We've had a good amount of rain this summer, but it's come in the occasional dumping. There's been a pretty good dry stretch here. Luckily it hasn't been really hot - that would have baked things out a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it hasn't been really hot - that would have baked things out a while ago. Last summer I was lucky. This year, not so. I monitor precip pretty closely, and when I tell you I've had maybe 3" at my house since May 16, I'm being generous. And about 2" of that has been in the past three weeks. Not had to mow much though.

nw baltimore wx Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Latest NAM paints good precip along the mountains. So far. The total weekend precip of the gfs is still painfully comical. Something's got to give. At least Ian said the euro is wet for tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Still big differences between the NAM and GFS, but the NAM does appear to have cut back on precip in the metro areas. GFS still really dry in the metro areas. Looks like the best bet is wetter today along the blue ridge, wetter tomorrow along and east of the bay.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Final July numbers at KOKV: Highs: -1.30F Lows: -1.55F # 90s days = 8 # 70s days = 9 # 70s nights = 6 # 50s nights = 10 most consecutive 90s stretch = 3 days (July 1 -3 & July 7 - 9) most consecutive 70s stretch = 4 days (July 16 -19) High of the month = 95F (July 2) Low for the month = 50F (July 30) Seemingly is very anamalous to have more 70s days than 90s, more 50s nights than 70s, and more consecutive 70s days than 90s. All in all, about as nice a July as one can hope for around these parts, even had a couple of t-storms out here in the Shenandoah Valley Desert.. Included was a golf ball-size hailstorm on July 3 in Middletown, VA. My adjuster just estimated $2,500 in damage to my car. How on earth did Aug 2009 finish -3F?

Mrs.J Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Very important question here... as it comes from my kids there will be mutiny involved in this decision. Was going to make a trip to the Leesburg Water Park today but non Leesburg residents cannot get in until noon. Should I not bother, I saw that the rain is making a move up from the South and am thinking it is not worth wasting gas on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a water park; they'll be wet anyway, and any rain will keep the crowds away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The longer loop of the radar shot looks like a winter storm that runs into a dome of cold, dry air and all the precip gets zapped as it reaches us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 NAM jumping on board. 12Z run keeps the heaviest of the precip along and east of 95. Even the blue ridge is relatively dry. Some heavier amounts in far sw va and NW nc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
