It’s easy to shovel. We’re looking at 2 feet of wind with this one


.

 

Prolonged strong damaging wind is dangerous. Trees smash houses. Lives are altered forever. Some of us are desperate poor. Like myself. My house gets hit by a tree, my life is over, I will be homeless forever. This Windex event is fvcking serious. Dale City is full of super tall trees. The soil is pretty soaked. My region is a major disaster waiting to happen.

LWX is warning us about power outages. That should count for something. Those ppl are professionals. They know the weather. This is serious serious business the next 2 to 3 days.

Most of the rain is moving due east, North Carolina will get a decent soaking rain, about 3 to 4 inches worth of fresh rain. We will get GRAZED by the northern edge, probably accruing an eighth of an inch of rain, Tops. The main event for us will be destructive damaging wind gusts Friday and Saturday as the anomalous storm actually moves south because of the incredible Block over Greenland.

Damn I'm good. I should of been a weatherman.

Just looking over the 06Z runs (gfs, Nam) and we are somewhat close to getting something more meaningful then high winds and some mood flakes (maybe a slushy inch north and east). Shift that upper low and surface low 100 or even 50 miles south and speed up the upper level low dropping through our region by 6 hours or even 3 and I think we have a much better outcome (eta: temps cooperating of course). Shame it is probably a lot to ask for being 24-36 hours out.

eta: Expecting to see a southward shift with the solution runs counter to what you would expect when you look at historical data on Miller Bs. Solution being presented is more in line and history would probably even argue for a further shifting northward.

Rain continues its steady eastward trek to the Atlantic Ocean. It hits a strong wall in central VA, it will get no farther north til probably late tonight. We wanted a Block, we got it lol. We will get a few drops, but not enough to measure, unless you happen to have a scanning electron microscope.

Back to the Drought from now on, and to utter high wind destruction. And to livin' in the woods for me because there is no hope at all. Every tree in Dale City will be on the ground by Saturday night, every last one. There will not be enough money in all of fema to rebuild this place, and we will be casually, laconically written off like most of Houston.

No wind to speak of here in the middle of the Caribbean. 

 

I'm glad we had a dead tree taken down last fall.   I wouldn't want to be swaying this storm from this far away

Are you on a cruise or on an island? My parents are heading back to FLL on a cruise right now.

I guess a few flakes flying around the 95 corridor is all I can ask for. Once again, so close yet so far. Maybe we can get some surprise positive trends on the meso’s today? I’ll hold my breath...

 

We are definitely not out of the game for something more but my money would be on the under as it has been for a few days now.

The 06z NAM Nest continues to be very impressive with regards to the wind threat. For DCA at around 9am tomorrow morning it has the following - (approximate)

42kts @ 1kft
52kts @ 1.5kft
58-60kts @ 2kft

The wind strength ebbs and flows a bit throughout the day but that's pretty impressive. Would assume winds at 1000 feet wouldn't have a ton of trouble mixing down if there is good mixing.

I'm interested in how strong the Ohio Valley low gets today.

I really think ne Md could  get a couple inches... and wraparound snow showers  seem a lock  for the remaining northern counties . It was also nice to see qpf increase at 6z on the mesos. Most put down  up to an inch along the northern most areas . Should be fun nowcasting tomorrow .

Yeah, will probably spend most of the day doing yard work and cleaning/rearranging my garage which has been long over due so as to be out in it. Probably forgo looking at the models at that point and let it do what it's going to do and hope for a positive bust.

You know what they say, and what long bitter experience has long taught us here in the Mid Atlantic: Precipitation delayed, is precipitation DENIED.

The start of any rain for N VA is getting pushed back and back, finally much farther back. I look longingly at all that torrential flooding rain in Ohio, and my heart just breaks, over and over and over again. Having a broken heart, is getting to be a way of life this year.

An early start is 100% a very good thing, even if it does mean an earlier end. At least you got the precip. I keep waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, and I got this deep sinking feeling deep in my gut, and I been living here for 50 years, and I KNOW what that deep sinking feeling means.

I am going to be HIGH AND DRY today. And tonight. And Friday.

My gut dont lie.

The timing of the wind is pretty interesting.  A couple of the models have the wind really ramp up after sunrise, then dampen a bit, and then increase again in the afternoon as the low really gets going off the coast.  Some of the others don't show this periodicity.

I always just assume best winds will be during the daylight hours with better mixing. Curious to see how much tree damage occurs from this. Been a while since we've had a really good wind storm.

6z HRPDERP is very bullish for NE MD. Like up to 5-6”. Has no support and the regular RGEM looks nothing like it, but we can hug it for fun.

HRDPS is by far our best friend with getting that wrap around banding into our area.  The NAM's are close but no cigar unless your in extreme northeast MD.  The globals are of limited usefulness with placing meso features like that at this point.

I have only really payed attention to it a few times but it did very well when I did...it nailed the dry slot screwzone that hurt me 2 weeks ago from 24-36 hours out when the RGEM totally missed it.  That doesn't mean its right here...but it has been better with meso features then the rgem this winter IMO...from the few times I bothered to pay attention too it.
