CAPE Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I just hope this wet trend continues for winter, so I can enjoy lots of cold rain, and maybe even some wet snowflakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully its about done. It would be nice to salvage some of the day. From 430 AM to 630 AM. it really came down here. Really surprised by over .60 inch of rain. Seems as the norm, dryness does not last long, at least in this area. Glad to hear you are going to retire the sprinkler. Farewell my good friend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using it the past week to water my newly seeded areas, as it had not rained for a week. No need for that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The LWX radar is the "worst case" scenario - it's the bull-gear. They won't even be discussing next steps until a joint meeting on Monday. Thereafter it looks like the radar is going to be down for a minimum of a week - but likely longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 CTP's radar is also offline - but based on their status message it sounds like that'll be a brief outage once parts arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do have a seasonal wetland on the back part of my property, but it is only wet when the water table breaks the surface in late winter and Spring. Otherwise my property is high and dry. With shorter days and cooler temps, the soil stays pretty moist, which is always a battle here during the summer no matter how much it rains.

I95 and eastern shore do well ( that's a surprise ) Man I hope not. I don't want to drown the new grass. I wish I could will it in your direction. Plenty of time though. 12z GFS has the heavier rain for the lower eastern shore/southern DE, but still an inch+ NW of there and into your area.

nj2va Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 It’s been about 3 weeks since we’ve had any measurable rain out here. Basically all of the 0.9” fell the first few days of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Looks like a legit heavy rain threat for much of the region this week, with both the GFS and Euro digging the UL energy and slowing the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 WPC has the area in a slight risk for excessive rain day 3. From Mount Holly- Hazards: The longer the front stalls or at least slows, the longer our region will be in southerly return flow (resulting in low level moisture advection). Consequently, precipitable water values of 1.5 to 2 inches will be possible, especially over the coastal plains. The 90th percentile of pwat at IAD for late September is about 1.5 inches, so needless to say if this happens, pwats will be well above normal. Additionally the warm cloud layer will likely be very deep for late September. Also, low and mid level flow could be close to parallel of the front, which could increase the threat for training storms/showers. Therefore, will mention the potential for heavy rain in the HWO. However, have chosen to hold off on a flash flood watch at this point given the poor run to run consistency we have seen so far, especially with the timing of the front (timing will be key to the threat for heavy rain).

I'll continue to keep an eye on it but Gfs and Euro both still too far east and concentrate moderate to heavy rains i95 and east atm. I wish I could send it your way. These late season tiger mosquitoes need to go. I really don't want to have to do a malathion nuke job at this point, but I may have too lol.

CAPE Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 This grossness has overstayed its welcome. Our fall preview period seems pretty far in the rear view mirror, even though its only been a week. A few more days of this garbage and we can get back to some refreshing Canadian air with low dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
