PrinceFrederickWx Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I never learn my lesson. I should just stick to the regular watering schedule and ignore what’s in the forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Radar estimates -- can't believe how bad some areas got screwed, especially southern MD. Hopefully places that were shut out get at least some rain today. I managed 0.8. Luscious 67 degrees out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 At least a few light pity showers in the air with some cool temps. Lets see if my micro-scale rain shield will relent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to unclog the VP2 and compare later. 2.26" as of 7am this morning. I have been reporting to CoCoRahs using their rain gauge for a little over a year now and have a VP2 as well. I have noticed that the VP2 is consistently 10% +/- less in its reporting. Heavy rain or light rain doesnt seem to make a difference. 2.26" this morning in the manual gauge and 2.02" in the VP2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 What a difference 24 hours can make. Although quite muggy, topped at 78.0 degrees with clouds yesterday before showers rolled in around 3 pm, 60.6/59.8 with rain continuing to fall this morning. So MUCH better!

This am, 0.70 CoCoRaHs vs 0.65 weather station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Not sure what it was that went through my area last night at 4:10 AM to 4:45 AM but it produced strong sustained winds and heavy rain, little thunder. Almost like a mini-derecho. Rank it in the top 2 or 3 storms of the spring summer season so far ..... and there have been many. Looked on my android at the mount holly radar and it showed a strong cluster of rainfall/storms moving from SW to NE The cool part was the cluster at the lower portion, my area and others, rotated and swirled as it moved across the area. Hardly ever see that . I see many down limbs this AM driving around. Over .60 from that storm alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 .50 in my gauge for the day so far. With light rain falling. The cats are loving that they have windows opened up again and I a liking giving the AC a rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Seems like my prediction wasn't too far off. I predicted I would struggle to get .50 inches of rain from this event. I got .57 inches. lol The drought continues. Really wish we could get one or two days of constant drizzle and rain that adds up to 2". That's all I'm asking for. Or at least a storm that sits over me for 30 minutes and then dissipates. It is interesting to experience micro-droughts in an area that usually gets enough widespread rain each year.

mappy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 looks like 3.16 for the storm total. i think that includes sunday night. really need to replace the battery in my vue lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a silver lining in all scenarios, but when I just looked at the 30 day rainfall map, wow, to the striking totals from feast to famine. I have been very lucky. Some areas are so dry. From BWI NE and NW near Mappy land have big time totals, Philly big and other areas to the West and SW and South are very dry. Some areas that are dry are like micro areas, not very large but still much drier than the areas around them. The bottom line is that totals across the forum are not uniform.

That's what I get out of only the post you are quoting. The "less convection" in the Atlantic goes along with the traditional view of El Nino = less hurricanes.

Places 2-3 miles from here have had twice as much or more rain this month- which is still low compared to many areas further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
