Most guidance has really strengthened this system the past 24 hours . Hopefully another rain slug for CAPE's parched sod. 12z GFS agrees... but moves it far enough to our SE that it doesn't affect our region... hits SE VA pretty hard on Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wawarriors4 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Up to 1.21" here just NW of EZF, healthy rain storm, probably finish up near 1.4"-1.5" of much needed rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not to sound repetitive, but this is really nice to see. I cut my grass once pretty much in the last 2 months and it's debatable if it even needed it that one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The radar looks really nice for the next 2-3 hours in the beltways. That's an easy additional inch of rain it appears on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 23 minutes ago, losetoa6 said: Yea...just noted above Ukie is west and stronger. CMC has it and it gets rain through most of the region. It seems to stall under the big developing ridge. Not super heavy but long duration. Then it gets kicked out with the next low moving into the GL, and more rain with the associated front from that. It likely wont play out that way, but certainly looks like a potentially active period early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if we can wrangle our way into another rainer early next week too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 8 weeks of daily watering I have finally retired the sprinkler for the year. That got to be a tedious daily chore. Now the moles can really go to town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried freaking everything over the years...best thing I have found are the mechanical scissor traps. Caught 2 in the past week. Nasty little suckers....

No digging, just flatten the ridge, push it in, and load it. It has been so dry though that the moles stay further down, and then would come topside and scratch around and dig down all over the place. More difficult to get with the traps when they behave that way, and not good for new grass trying to establish roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but this isn't a long-term drought per se. BWI is 6" in the hole before today. If forecasts for the next 10-15 days verify, we could be truly chipping into that deficit rather than just having a normal October. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
