coolio Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 2 hours ago, CAPE said: The chance for excessive rain today was forecast yesterday for the area. Models struggle with pinpointing the exact locations where the heavy rain will occur given subtle forcing mechanisms and weak flow aloft. There is no bust here. I call bust. I checked on the NWS site for my zip code and it said .5 to .75" rain. The disclaimer is usually "except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms" or something to that effect. There was no such disclaimer yesterday (last night). I'm not 100% on this. That phrasing gets my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That phrasing gets my attention. You are never going to see a forecast of 4-6" when the convection is scattered in nature. Come on. Read the headlines. There was a FFW put into effect. Read the forecast discussions. Read the WPC outlooks and meso discussions. There was a MPD put out at 1245 PM today highlighting the FF risk for the DC area. The excessive rain potential was well advertised in advance, and localized amounts of 5" were highlighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the FFW this morning, but that is too late for most folks. They check the forecast last night (like me) or sometimes in the am. . I'm looking at the NWS for my zip right now and it says: " New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. " There was nothing like that last night, or I dont remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" There was nothing like that last night, or I dont remember that. This is why you read the headlines and the AFD. The mesos were all over the place with exactly where the localized heavy rains would set up, even this morning. My local forecast had 1-2 for today, and it looks pretty spot on as of now. Further NW was more iffy based on most guidance, so probably why LWX went more generic/conservative with amounts on the point/click. And again, WPC highlighted the risk for excessive rains for DC-BWI-PHI and points east yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Neighbor measured 4.2 inches here, seems about right given how much water was in my basement.
