Alberto is going to be absolutely exhausted by the time it straggles into our area with one of its far flung dying bands by Thursday, while the center of the country, and the Great Lakes, get to enjoy cooling, life-giving rain.

Jebman Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Alberto is moving northwest, we dont have to worry about "flooding" from it. It might even end up in northwest Montana at the rate it is going lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal results will be found....suffocating humidity and a few scattered storms that will pound the usual suspects and leave everyone else with only our dripping sweat to wet the ground.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 2 hours ago, losetoa6 said: Sterling is worried about slow moving heavy rainers again ..for Wed/ Thurs Changed Discussion -- As the ridge axis nudges into the western Atlantic Wednesday, the door will be opened for a plume of 2+ inch precipitable water, which will camp out across the area through at least Thursday. Heights will be dropping, which will foster an unstable environment, supportive of numerous showers/thunderstorms. Shear will be marginal through the period, and flow won`t be all that stellar either. That spells slow-moving, heavy-rain-producing storms. Am most concerned about late Wed afternoon-night, and again Thursday afternoon-night. Will be increasing Hazardous Weather Outlook wording with this cycle. If these trends continue, Flood Watches may become necessary. -- End Changed Discussion -- WPC rainfall map is really pedantic. Only ~2.00 over 7 days.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 For those of you interested in heavy rainfall events, you might want to read this article.

Thats about it, variable clouds, some drizzle at night. Maybe a passing splash and dash shower Wed thru Sat, and an incredible, record-breaking one five twelfths of an inch worth of rain thru next Sunday.

Stormpc Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have had about 6 in for the month. In Woodbridge. It's plenty. On the low end of what everyone else has received but it's still a solid wet month. My sump pump has kicked on a few times the last couple of days even without any rain. It has never done that before. Obviously we are saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale City is one of the safest disaster free areas in the entire world. Most of the forcing is well West. If you want to see rain you need to Go West young man.

Great month if viewed in a vacuum, and I didn't know that some places in the region have nearly quadrupled that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 This humidity the past couple of days reminds me of our trip to Cost Rica to the Arenal area. It is in the mountains but on the Caribbean side. Nothing would dry there and this was in December. Currently my station is showing 92% humidity out. That is thicker than pea soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
