What we are getting is nothing like what that map shows. This may be the smallest storm I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen thunderstorm complexes bigger lol

Considering I’ve seen less than ½” so far, and we have nothing else to look forward to, I’m Jebman optimistic.  It gets me through winter.

Caveat of "it's the HDRPS" aside, this run seems reasonable. Even starts the metro off as rain for realism's sake.

Looks like a secondary max over C MD once the low gets east of south Jersey. Untrained eye of course.

This storm reminds me of a very poor man's 2011 commutageddon or maybe the December 2013 event that hit Baltimore and Philly (minus the changeover).

I hope it catches everyone by surprise, there are commuting nightmares, and children are stuck at school

Any predictions for DCA temp at Noon?  I'll go 44

Looking at sim satellite it looks like DCA is mostly cloudy from sunrise to onset. That should help. Need good rad cooling before clouds roll in. I wouldn't be surprised if DCA doesn't get above 40 if they can get dowm to 30 overnight

PWC says they’re opening on time

Interesting he cancelled last time for rain.  This looks way better for at least W PWC.  This is what makes me scratch my head in wonder.  It may not warrant a day off or even a delay but I’ve seen them cancelled for much less.
