Eskimo Joe Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Looks like the bit of sunshine on Delmarva this morning has enabled better mixing of the atmosphere. Several locations are gusting to 40kts+. Should allow for better instability and a flood/flash flood threat this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Wind has gotten insane here. Big oak tree just went down on the lot next door. It wasn't healthy but still. Lots of small branches and debris coming down everywhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Can confirm coastal flood (Baltimore County.) Not sure if "high tide" means anything, due to the winds continuing to blow out of the southeast until 8pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually interesting here being in the woods. You can really get a sense of the strong winds aloft mixing down. Can literally hear the roar up at the the tops of the trees and see them moving violently. I am getting debris in my yard from types of trees I don't have anywhere near the house. My driveway is a mess of branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably over 200 miles due south of you and it is as nasty as you say it is here as well. However, not nearly as bad as April 13 when winds gusted over 70 in local areas here. Today it's definitely in the 50 to 55 range. And this is out of the South or Southeast. On the 13th they were roaring from the southwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised to see reports of over 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Radarscope has a general half inch or so across the region. Frederick area is the big winner with 1-2 inches plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but the Gaithersburg to Derwood to Olney/Sandy Spring area is a bit of a data hole for us despite having a rather high flood risk. Just was curious to know the ground truth vs. radar esimated rainfall. The rain gauge we have as public safety training academy on Snouffer School Rd reported only 0.17" of rain since 8:00 am this morning but the crew that set up the tipping bucket put it in a pretty terrible area for accurate reporting.

Eskimo Joe Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Seems the trend this spring has been for precip forecasts to be modeled much higher than verification, and for eastern sections to get more wind than anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
