Jebman Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 K - that was about a half inch to three quarters of an inch, that new water will potentiate the old moisture that was already in the grass and I'll be happier than a pig in the proverbial New Orleans swamp and the nearby bayou lol! Now lets hope and pray that we get smashed down HARD by rain in midweek when that STRONG cold front hits us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Germantown is starting to suck again. Got only 0.2 from those big storms on the 7th, and just 0.2 again from last Friday's front. Got totally missed on Thursday and again last night to the north and south. I am still waiting for one good lightning storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling thunder, heavy rain and winds gusting above 30 mph. High today was 90. Yeah, that was weird. I was in Front Royal at a family picnic and a huge tower built just to the south, literally in a span of just a few minutes. Went from 99% clear skies to a booming storm in that time frame. Looks like any rain was just to south of Front Royal, but what a great view of that storm from just underneath. The lightning cut the family function short. When we got back home to Stephens City (under crystal-clear skies), I could see more lightning off to the west and north. Literally, we were in almost a complete circle of thunderstorms....with not a cloud overhead. So typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 99% certain there will be no meaningful rain for me, but I am stoked to see mid-70s highs on the late-week forecast! Octoberfest is in the fridge chilling, just waiting!

PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Surprise isolated storm gave me 0.30" about an hour ago. Mostly cloudy here. My expectations for the eclipse have always been very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 All this eclipse talk and here I am just focusing on the forecast the latter part of the week.

Eh, there was some qualitative GIS research I saw at a conference in 2009 that showed the NAO state and mean temperature in the Great Lakes and the temperature for the MA/NE the following winter. Their R^2 was only like 0.45 but it was interesting to see nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 CU field popping on hi-res satellite...would laugh pretty heartily if it messed things up locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 You can see dimming on the GOES-16 visible entering the west coast. That's pretty cool. Since DC isn't in totality, a cu field won't hurt us that much since we'll be in and out of the sun anyway. It is unpleasantly hot and humid out there.
