snowfan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Not sure how valid it will be for us overnight and tomorrow, but just take a look at national radar. Lots of holes. I'm expecting something similar to what you described, which means I'll end up in the jackpot zone It makes me feel good that 18z NAM isn't much different than 12z (especially DC North and East), I just have that feeling that like 30% of our area will get over an inch, 10% over 3 inches (mapgirl and Southern PA), and 60% under half an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Haven't seen a 5 day mean look like this in quite a while. GEFS agrees competely. A warm stretch mid next week and beyond is looking more certain every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 LWX handled the rain well in their afternoon disco, imo. What's coming in now is the most solid shield of precip that we'll get and tomorrow will be more scattered in nature, but what does fall could be heavy. They're expecting the convection to the west to die overnight, so this shield of rain moving in now is what we're in for tonight and its not terribly heavy.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Over .40" this afternoon / evening. By far, the most rain I've received since May 16. Enjoying the last few days of relatively tolerable temperatures before we enter the furnace next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 1hr estimated looks impressive. Darkest green is 1" and yellow is 1.25".

I'm seeing a lot of 2"+ totals in MoCo, with the bulk of the rain in a short period. I'm sitting at 1.53" storm total, and the radar estimate is less than an inch.

Kmlwx Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 There's the warning lolLWX was really sleeping on that one. MoCo Park Police now is closing Beach Dr in montgomery county. Only getting worse it seems. Usually LWX is pretty quick with FFWs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm total isn't working on COD. I had a waterfall running down my terraces 30 minutes ago. I'll bet I'm in the 1.5 - 2" total range and it came quick. This is the latest 1hr. Some 1.75" showing up. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's taken awhile, but we are finally getting into the good downpours up here. Even though I'm technically in the FFW, I don't have the totals that south and east have, but still a lot to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
