87storms Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 these storms have loved the daytime heating. maybe part of the reason the short term guidance would be forecasting too little early in the day, but then too much as the day goes on.

Gotta be pushing 3" by now. * just checked the gage. 3" on the dot. Moderate rain continues. I guess the FFW was needed then after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, where they hit and miss seems to stay in the same areas. I've got flood warnings all around me to the south, north, and east, but for the most part I got fringed with less than an inch for the day...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Rain has finally move out. Final tally 3.1". Probably the best single event IMBY in the 8 years I've lived here (well, except for Sandy). Think I got 4" in a day back in May 2011 (my basement flooded when the sump pump switch got stuck), but it was from several storms spread out from morning to late afternoon. I just got a month's worth of rain in 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Another 1.15 overnight, 2.5 for August. Looks like we finally get a break starting today. Can't believe that I need my outside potted plants to dry out in August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I managed to set a new record 'low max' yesterday in the clouds and rain, 74.6 degrees, old mark was 76 from 1985. 0.55 yesterday and 1.97 for the first 4 days of August, MUCH more just (like 5 miles) to my west and then into WV, 3.5-4.5 inches at many of those CO-OP's.

WEATHER53 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 How can DCA report thunderstorms for two hours and zero rain? Is that “thunderstorm in the area” if so that’s trying to have it both ways. They vigorously defend their high temps and low snowfall as being accurate for that exact spot. So unless it is thunder storming right over them they should not report it because like they say”we are not measuring for 2 to 10 miles away but rather right on this exact spot” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great showing by LWX today. They mentioned that there was a forecasted cap that would inhibit storm development, but I didn't see it on soundings I looked at this morning. The hi-res models all showed a few cells in the area this afternoon, and they nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how you make observations. Remember, many of these obs are at airports for a reason.

Jebman Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Lawns are green as emeralds. I am 72 to 96 hours away from leaving for a place where lawns are NOT very green at all lol. But, regardless of where I am, Washington DC will STILL get a total of 84 inches of snow in the 2018-2019 Winter, Snow enthusiasts will be flying all over the place with sheer joy! You're gonna need a bigger shovel. That west-based El Nino is gonna bury all of you in the Mid Atlantic ALIVE in deep snow, and many will cry for Jebman to come dig em out lol.

I would NEVER cry about rain. In Noah's time, I would have been challenging G-d for even MORE rain! I can never be rained to death. Or snowed to death. I never ever get enough. Even in Waterworld, I would be crying for more rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstorms and/or lightning strikes within 5 miles are considered to be "on station" per observation rules. Storms from 5 to 10 miles away are considered to be "in the vicinity". Either condition is good enough to trigger a SPECI (special) observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inner Harbor about to break a HI of 100. Waaay hotter then yesterday, which was majorly over-hyped. Wondering if a storm is gonna pop again around the metro, HRRR is hinting at it. Wouldn't mind that at all, yesterday the storms cooled me down to the upper 70s, albeit per my car thermometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
