MN Transplant Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 12 hours ago, Eskimo Joe said: Question for the group. What defines ''heavy rainfall'' for you. My criteria: 4" in 6 hours 5" in 12 hours 6" in 24 hours To me, there is a difference between heavy sustained rainfall and heavy thunderstorm rainfall. The latter is more like 2"/hr rates, the true "downpour". The former is tougher to gauge, but I'd say that even 3" over 6 hours is heavy rainfall for that time period.

Outside outside shot at DCA verifying a low end heat wave? Thinking we get at least 1 day of 90. I'd put money on DCA hitting 90 by Sunday. BWI hitting 90 this weekend wouldn't surprise me either.

I've been waiting for the rain to start for the past 3 days. I've had 2 rain showers out of this rainy period. I hope this isn't the way this summer goes.

Ian would be happy -- he had a great chase in the DDC area last year, late May too. Are you going with Ian or by yourself and going to meet up with him? I know he is going with Ellinwood and wxmeddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Raleigh really got nailed by this one, over 6" at the airport and some Cocorahs reports over 8" in Wake Co. Still raining there. My daily report was 0.38". Good news in the long range is that after the warm weekend it seems a bit more seasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've had almost nothing other than occasional drizzle / mist for this event. 3 days of rain, and the ground beneath our Sequoia remains dry, and my driveway is about 10 degrees inclined. It's damp, which has been a blessing for the grass seed I put down, but we got no rain of significance. A day in the 80s and every drop of moisture we got will be vaporized.

high risk Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If we're going to hit 90, it will have to be Saturday - Sunday looks like winds shift to a more easterly direction. Saturday will have a chance, as the progged low-level winds look to be southwesterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
