CAPE Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Getting a nice break here finally. Sitting just over 5" for the event. Hopefully the heavier stuff southwest of here moves to my northwest. Seems the best lift has lifted further NW with the front. Temp here is 63.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Really nice outside in Reisterstown...has that spring feel to it. Got barely any rain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 61f here. 1.35" on the day so far. LWX is still carrying a "severe drought" headline over flood warnings on the homepage. Embarrassing. Click through it and see that the "severe" area is a small strip of I-95. Basically a trick of the algorithm. Hopefully they drop it tomorrow.

Basically a trick of the algorithm. Hopefully they drop it tomorrow. My guess is that they won't drop it until the water table rises considerably. The hydrologists in the forum can speak to it, but I don't think the 3-4" of rain we've gotten over the past two weeks have been enough to make up for the past 3 months. But, you're probably right that the headline isn't needed anymore considering that a low, but rising water table in the 95 corridor probably isn't a huge deal. Hopefully the rains of the past ten days are enough to eliminate the area of severe drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 90 day departure was -5.50 365 day was -3.63 ...as of 2/7/18 We seem to have picked up over 2 since then. Still a bit droughty, but I guess it's the "severe" hype headline that bothers me. Next issuance will be Thursday. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LWX&product=DGT&issuedby=LWX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Can't you get Jebman to come clean out those leaves for you? Just got back from the dog walk. Overcast, breezy, but no rain. Very soggy though. 1.79" in the real gauge for today so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fervent prayers of the faithful for continued below normal temps and a switch to more precip failed to be specific enough, apparently. 500hPa FTL...

I drove back from North Carolina today and when I got home and still saw snow piles left I figured I didn't see much rain..only .90" here. Temp was 73 in Richmond and 48 when I got to my yard at 2pm ..never got in the warm sector. Didn't need big totals here ...hopefully the corridor did ok ...they needed it . Yeah I didn't need it either lol. But I got it. After 3.8" in Jan, my total for Feb is now 6.7". Current temp here is 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Latest HRRR and NAM3 suggest a final batch of showers moving through during the morning hours Monday. Soundings and p-type guidance suggest that a few sleet pellets could be mixed in. (Temps will be above freezing, and the ground is warm, but we'll take anything frozen at this point....)

And that is why I am in Dillon, CO at son's place this week. Landed in Denver to about 2-3 inches of fresh snow and 8 degrees at 7:30 am, about 10-15 inches on the ground here in valley and a high in low 20's after a -10 start. Boy was it a wet drive to IAD overnight and it was POURING when we took off at 5:30 am. Terrible to travel to get my snow fix, but glad I have a place to go to get it!

When you return you will bring it back with you which is one reason we will still get shellacked by snow here in the Mid Atlantic this winter.
