Cause he complains so much... he even is complaining about the eclipse And i guess you feel like we should toss the LWX AFD which mentions a severe threat for tomorrow?

Jebman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Tomorrow looks to be FUN! https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LWX&issuedby=LWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... Flash Flood Watch in effect for Washington DC/Baltimore MD metros and southern Maryland from noon to 10 PM Monday. Multiple rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected. Localized hourly rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are possible. Average total rainfall should be between 1 to 1.5 inches with localized amounts of 3 to 4 inches where heavier thunderstorms develop/possibly train over the same areas. Rainfall intensity currently peaking near PAH along a stationary boundary running from AR to NC. PWATs increase above 1.5 inches tonight with the warm front, so rain showers by late tonight could reach moderate intensity. Min temps under thickening clouds and southerly flow generally upper 60s inland to around 70F for urban centers. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Warm front stalls over the area (stretching southwest to northeast across central portions of the CWA) through Monday. An approaching upper level trough over the Great Lakes will allow surface low development along the front through the day. The low moves east from the area Monday evening. PWATs increase above 2.1 inches through Monday morning per 12Z NAM/GFS bufr soundings at DCA. This is near the average daily max, above the 99 percentile for this time of year. Moisture this great, convergence along the front/ahead of the low, and reduced flash flood guidance in the Balt/Wash urban centers warrants the flash flood watch. Around an inch QPF is expected across the area, slightly less NW (on the cold side of the front) and more east (ahead of the low). Strong wind shear/helicity is expected ahead of the low Monday afternoon. Limited heating/highs in the upper 70s will limit instability. Therefore the primary severe threat looks to be damaging winds. Isolated weak tornadoes are also possible given the looping hodographs seen in NHK bufr soundings from 12Z NAM/GFS. This makes me far happier, than winning 1.9 billion dollars on the PowerBall. There could be some flooding. There is nothing better, than a good flood!!! Lawns are growing, I am already scrambling to mow ours and here comes MORE RAIN!!!! Don't look now but we might get annihilated again by rain on Thursday/Friday. I am praying HARD for severe floods!

Jebman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I am already beginning to receive light to moderate steady rain as of 2am here in Dale City. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE rain and battleship gray skies? Bring on the rains! Bring on the FLOODS!! Bring on the frantic water rescues!!!

Jebman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Every radar element that comes in from the west southwest is blossoming over us! More moderate rain as of 345am! Flash Flood Watch has been moved up to start at 9am! I'm happier than a clam in mud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 When the NWS starts trotting out the right front entrance region of the jet streak phrase, you KNOW this is going to be an excellent rain event. In any event, the precip elements over Dale City continue to blossom. I am so frackin' elated, I am not going to be able to sleep for the next 36 hours. Though I must say, southeastern Pennsylvania is hogging most of the rain, I will probably get a quarter of an inch and southeast Penn will end up with over a foot of fresh rain by tonight. It's been pouring there, just pouring and pouring and pouring. Its almost as tho there is a developing low there, with a deform zone. Figures. But, we are supposed to get bypassed by storms in January, not August. I guess the weather goddesses are practicing in August lmao. Pennsylvania is an EPIC RAIN HOG. Always has been, and always will be. then we are expected to feel sorry for em when they flood. All I can say for you, southeast Pennsylvania, I hope you know how to breathe water. Go ahead. Hog all of my rain. Its supposed to be SOUTH of you, has convective storms then YOU get robbed of the rain. Blub blub blub to you all in SE Penn. Don't turn around. Drive right thru those flooded low water crossings. You'll make it. lmao I'm confident we will get our rain ------ In January, February and March, while just to the north, feet of snow will accumulate. We are going to get so damned much rain in the cold months, that even I am going to be SICK of it. I cant imagine how I ever thought we'd get a lot of rain from this system today. Of course Pennsylvania will get all of it. Let's see, how many more months til November when we finally start to get rained to death in Dale City?

yoda Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Updated morning AFD from LWX re CAPE Quote The extent of uncertainty is best displayed by GEFS CAPE plumes, which range from 200 J/kg to over 1600 J/kg later this afternoon at IAD. Modified LWX RAOB based on breaks and temp/dewpoint spread of 77/70. This does yield 1100 J/kg SBCAPE. At this time, the best chance of any severe weather will be across southern MD.

MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 HRRR and the NAM nest agree that for DC and N/W that the show is starting now and will be wrapped up by ~5pm.

Stormpc Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I am not sure totals will be that impressive. The radar looks a lot worse than the actual bite. Driven through the heavy showers from Alexandria through Lorton and Woodbridge and it's only moderate at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some serious rain underway here Jeb, after today well over 10" the last month and I have been in a "dry" zone compared to much of the area north and south of here lol. Most likely won't be enough life jackets in the state for our water logged residents I am suggesting people grab hold of the numerous pumpkins that have begun to float out of the flooded farm pastures that now are becoming lakes like north Minnesota.
