Ian Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Not the most typical pattern for a huge rainer.. though I think the globals actually sort of hinted at it, esp the Euro, for a few days. Not quite right on specific location but it kept spitting out some big 6-12 hr totals in the area today. The GFS was also pretty consistent in having precip around most of the day though considerably lighter. I do wonder what role that little mesolow JT pointed out might have played.

Ian Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I remember adding in heavy rain mention for Sat forecast because of Euro http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/08/09/d-c-area-forecast-rain-threats-minor-through-the-weekend-but-staying-sticky/ And yday I did mention flash flood risk when there wasn't really much talk of it, though the WPC forecast was perhaps a hint http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/08/11/pm-update-periods-of-rain-tonight-and-tomorrow-severe-weather-late-tuesday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 One other idea that came into my head today is a way to rate events like NESIS. Yes, a #2 all time is very impressive but it does seem we pull a day like this off pretty much every year around here somewhere. I suppose a simple combination/avg of totals across an area would approximate the idea but not sure it's a valid way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it really only goes in the historical record if it hits one of the airports. Otherwise it is a total IMBY thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 So, there's no need to purchase through WU? Nope, WU partners with some companies to make it easy but they'll take any data as long as you can get it to their servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 This summer has been nice weather wise but not nice health wise. After several days on allergy medication thinking it was allergies causing my headaches, I can say they are not brought on by allergies. These pressure changes have been hard this year. Killer headache yet again and nothing to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You did not get 12" in a day. Old man and his fish stories. GetMap.aspx.gif I bought the gauge after that! Seriously though...I used the best method I could - a uniform water glass on a flat table on my deck - and I measured 8" in the big downpour in the afternoon/evening. That was added to what I thought I saw as 4" in the morning based on radar estimates. Either way, it was a sh*t ton of rain in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Went over my WxStation data from home in Severna Park. 5.72" has fallen so far. Peak rates were: 1" in 13min , 2" in 26min and 3" in 49min. Peak instantaneous rate was 6"/hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 1.45" on the day certainly not in the sweet spot today but not bad. I have had generous rainfall all summer, grass has been green all summer (third summer in a row) so not like I am really missing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer headache yet again and nothing to help. glad to know, myself, wife, and some co workers are going through the same thing. seems like major allergies because my eye sight will get wacky. waking up and going through the day with headaches has almost become normal. I have also put it on pressure changes the only thing I can think of, I know I didn't have the headache issue until last September my head would hurt so bad it my teeth would hurt. maybe the headaches are predicting cold and snow for this winter? a glass of wine will help now. and Advil and water in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
