snowfan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Struggling to remember a worse stretch of summer weather. Sunny and 95 is better than dealing with this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 2.00" overnight here in the swamps. Every time there's chance of a shower this summer I get at least 2 inches of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If the HRRR is correct, I will be outside working in the yard by noon. Radar seems to indicate that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the weather will actually feel like fall, but this week will get us thinking about it. Low to mid 80s for highs, and coolish at night. Headed down the homestretch of summer- even though September in these parts usually features plenty of summer weather. Hopefully it is more seasonable than July-like.

Baltimorewx Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Well the 3K NAM performed miserably. Got some moderate showers this morning but it’s pulling away now. Definitely not the 2” it predicted lol. HRRR did well with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 In Ocean City for the week. Raining pretty good at 70 degrees with winds gusting over 30 mph. The drops coming off the balcony above us and floating off in the wind look just like like flakes mixing in. Looking at better weather starting tomorrow. Very happy to see the around 1 inch amounts in upper Montgomery. We needed that. Also glad to see not-so-heavy amounts in hard-hit Calvert where the family is. What the Richmond area got would have been real bad for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted_Trough Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 any chance of us going the rest of the month without any 90s? the models seem to think it's possible.. I'm sure DCA will manage a 90 in there somewhere. Regardless, this summer might be remembered as a six-week stretch of persistent heat. Depending upon what September does.

wxdude64 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Another 0.73 inches, a 'cheapy' new daily rainfall, as for some reason the 16th hasn't had much here in last 40 years. Old mark was 0.68 from 1998. Also set new 'cool minimum' with a 68.3 degree high, old mark was 72.0 from 1992 and 2013. Right at 5 inches for the month now.

I thinks it's just cyclical and luck of the draw. In the early 2010s it was the opposite.

CAPE Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 From Mount Holly- Steadier rain is moving slowly eastward and will likely progress offshore by mid afternoon. Lighter/scattered showers will remain in the wake of the main precipitation shield this afternoon, so have kept fairly high PoPs through the afternoon hours near/east of the urban corridor. So far, highest QPE has been in northern/central Delmarva and on the central New Jersey coast, confirming a rather poor overall performance of the model suite for this event (both in terms of geographic placement and total rainfall). I concur. The models were all over the place, and no one model was very close with the distribution of the qpf, while hitting the actual min/ max locations. The 12z and 18z runs of the GFS yesterday caught the heavier precip(2" amounts) just south and east of DC, but then lost it after that. It probably did the best overall though. Euro was pretty decent overall, but had like 8" of rain along the beaches of MD and DE on the 12z run yesterday( I didn't look at 0z). 3km NAM was too wet, too far NW, and then went dry everywhere with its early morning runs. It had next to nothing here, which was totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved here in 2013 and actually remember that the first two years I was here- I used to call it the Calvert split- every storm would find a way to miss. But then, starting around summer 2015... Anyway, I got 1.39” for this event. Glad it was on the lower end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 After keeping the mosquitoes under control and a non issue from Spring through mid summer, the recent rains have brought out the late summer variety. Nothing like the early onslaught that occurs in Spring if I don't control it with larvicide, but it has become somewhat annoying at this point. I have to use spray when I am working outside now.

MN Transplant Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 18 hours ago, high risk said: while we're clearly not going to get the Sunday soaking that some of the guidance had been advertising, I think it's going a bit far to suggest a sunny afternoon. Most of the forecast soundings and simulated satellite products I've seen have clouds (and perhaps some light rain or drizzle) persisting well into the afternoon. But I certainly hope I'm being too pessimistic..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a dedicated circuit for only that outlet? I would doubt that it is. If that’s the case, any outlet down the line from it can trip it. I would think that you have an outlet somewhere on that circuit that is getting water in it. I had the same thing happen once and it was because an outdoor outlet on the same circuit was getting water in it when there was heavy rain. Problem for me was that you never knew it was out and my freezer in the garage was in that same circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
