The funny thing is I don't remember the models showing that much for your area, they had the heaviest rains further north. I actually wound up with less then the models were showing in my area.

I actually wound up with less then the models were showing in my area. Most of the CAMs did. Euro might have too, but I don't look at that on the free sites this time of year- lack of interest. Mt Holly nailed it in their forecast actually. Had 1-2 inches for Thurs night/Fri morning on my point/click, in addition to what fell earlier. Models had a strong LLJ over the coastal plain and a secondary wave also formed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you it was a fail up in this area. The forecast was for 1.00-1.50"+, I had a storm total of 0.64". I also should have been more specific as I don't recall the NAM/GFS showing those amounts for your area. I guess we will see what tonight/tomorrow brings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 12 hours ago, RDM said: The solar unit on my Davis outdoor unit is probably approaching it's last leg too. At the point I'm having to replace the backup battery with increasing frequency as it takes on more of the load. Dunno why Davis doesn't put glass over the solar array. Any plastic cover like they use will craze over with time as the plasticizers in the plastic cover outgas and becomes brittle. A glass cover would last nearly indefinitely and would not add that much to the overall cost. I have been having to replace my back up battery more often as well.

osfan24 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I thought the heavy rain/flooding threat was for midweek and not this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always a chance for this weekend but it also depended on how the Thursday night/Friday system performed. The more rain you received then the better chances you may have at seeing some flood issues tomorrow. Right now it looks like a low end chance.

CAPE Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 As Mount Holly suggested, the good juice with the LLJ is mostly offshore.(per models a few days ago, this was the primary heavy rain threat for I/95 and the coastal plain). Not even a tenth of an inch here, and unless the area gets into the warm sector with some potential convection later, probably not much more than some general showers around for the day. Not that I am complaining. Been wet enough in my yard lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 I just noticed that ECMWF soundings are now behind a paywall on PivotalWx. Wow, what a game changer!

Good morning, If you haven't done so already, try cleaning the solar array with a rag and water periodically (if you can easily access it). Suggest not using windex or anything with a solvent in it. The ammonia may do more harm than good on the plastic cover over the array. I clean mine every couple months now. It helps some, or so it seems. But the cloudiness of the plastic cover is getting worse and at some point I'll need to have the array replaced (if that's an option) or just buy a new unit. Davis is probably betting on the 2nd option on purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Chilly sprinkles and 48. Hoping we break into the warm sector later, but probably a little too far north.

BristowWx Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I can’t complain having an April that didn’t require AC. I wish we could hold onto the cool cloudy weather longer but only 7 months to November. It’s practically here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Radar looks good for a nice rainy evening. Still pretty chilly here. It seems like the warm front pushed through then retreated an hour later. It looks like i had .53"ish last night and this morning. it's only 55 degrees. Might have to start a little fire in my woodstove this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I just said the same thing to my partner who’s from NH. He was reading the forecast of snow for Manchester for tonight — and I told him we will never move further north. Late April snow? Pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly Cloudy and 65 or sunny and 85 are a dime a dozen I’d take a snow here, it just that in NE the trees aren’t even leafing out. Their mud season hasn’t even started yet. Give me spring, but you can toss in a good snow too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potvinsux Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thought the last snowfall here in Snowshoe was the end of winter, then another arrived this morning. About 1/2" and 29°. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 So, I consider 50's and 60's spring and fall, with rain and clouds 3 or 4 out of 7 days for the week. It HAS been spring for a long time, since like January. 70's and up are summer, 40's and lower is winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
