Eskimo Joe Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Unless I'm missing something, it looks like this system is really not that moisture laden. A lot of the guidance now seems struggle to get anyone over an inch of rain and it's out of here pretty quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true I'd think some possible training along with local lollies verifying the FFW. Takes longer to get here but it’s still only about four hours of rain in any one location.

Mrs.J Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Per radar looks like I have just gotten into the start of the rain for the day. 0.09” to start the day and sustained winds from the S/SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's up in PA so we're at the mercy of katafront precip with the cold front. It's not the greatest recipe for a soaking rainfall and I'm really hoping for it to soften the soil up for my lawn work this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Shattered the daily rainfall record here, 2.19 in gauge this am. Old mark was 0.77 from 1996. Also, looks like 2020 will slide into 2nd place for total rainfall with 7.04 inches. 2011 holds top spot with 7.12 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it might not be flooding rains, but I don't see how it isn't a soaking rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm arguing semantics, but it's a weather board so bear with me. To me, soaking rain is a farmer's rain that causes within banks rises on water bodies but not flooding.

And it’s been relatively light with a few burst of moderate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just judging by radar, this looks like a 1-2 inch deal. Don't really see the flooding concerns unless the intensity increases with this line and there is some training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Somewhere around a farmers rain here. Just under a soaking rain but a little more than rain. But it is oddly wet but oddly not gusty and I can feel something is up with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
