CAPE Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 All my rain for this event fell in a 20 min downpour yesterday morning lol. Have had a few light sprinkles and some drizzle since. I will say this about yesterday, it was pretty clear that the heavier convection was going to be spotty, with more places than not missing out. The "bust" in the forecast, if there is one, is the more widespread rain has not developed with the coastal low and looking at the guidance it still looks as though a lot of places may miss out on any significant rain through today. Forecast for 1-1.5" here last night through today looks like a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just got very breezy here all of a sudden, with some light showers rotating in from the east. Feels much nicer out there compared to yesterday. Temp is 67, which is only 6 degrees cooler, but dew point is also lower by 5 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This weekend rainer is been a real flop. I managed .60" yesterday evening from a shower. No rain overnight. Let's see if today can produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Today always looked like the best chance for a more consolidated rainfall. Wouldn’t be surprised if dc gets a good round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 We actually got rain overnight. Sump pump is running frequently and there are streams of water running through my backyard. Too bad it couldn't happen when I was awake to see it. Nearby PWS show anywhere from 1.5 to 2.3". Have to check the gage in a bit, but don't think I missed the overnight stuff. I'll have to take back my bust call, I suppose, but - again - this was another spotty storm. *eta: almost 2" since midnight. .2" yesterday, and .23" Friday.

WVclimo Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Picked up 1.00" overnight. A pond has formed in a low spot at the back of my yard. That happens occasionally, particularly with significant snow melt when the ground has yet to thaw. But I think I have only ever seen this much water there once before, after a thunderstorm dropped 3"+ in an hour several years ago. This looks to remain for a while though unlike that time when runoff took care of it pretty quickly. Now 9.95" the past 29 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 1.22 yesterday in my areabof Woodbridge, .08 so far this morning with mod rain on doorstep. Rain bands curled north and south of DC proper yesterday. 10 miles southeast of me had 4 inches. 10 miles northeast had .2. Spotty for sure.

Some of it was banding, some was probably a slight orographic effect. It is coming down now. Nice tropical-like rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'm with Eskimo Joe. Amazing bust for us up here. The pavement outside is barely wet. I'll just be thankful this wasn't January after all. Talk about epic meltdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I’m at 0.25” for the day and it’s steadily raining hard. Today should perform as forecast IMBY I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I am a positive person but even positive people have their breaking points. After spending the last week feeling like a nasty wet rag on a daily basis, to waking up to a headache and a Nor’Easter like system in June, I give up. I swear Mother Nature is just sitting back laughing at us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading all of the bust calls and complaining well before the steadier rains were supposed to come in honesty makes me want to close the blinds on this place sometimes.

Pretty uncanny how my yard has just missed about every heavy rain band yesterday, last night , and again today. My total is 0.42". I am pretty happy about it though, because I need my wetland to start drying out. Just took a trek back into the woods to throw more dunkers in, and its still more expansive than normal for early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
