I've been swamped with life lately but literally every time I checked radar seemingly for the past few weeks, it's been down. Just seemed like an insanely long time without radar. Bull-gear went bad. That's about the longest repair that the radar can have to endure. Add that to the fact that ROC (Radar Operations Center) is busy rebuilding the Lake Charles site. Bull-gear requires upwards of 15,000 pounds of equipment to be lifted into the radome and then for the entire unit to be lifted up so the gear can be serviced/replaced.

CAPE Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It appears the heaviest rain over the next 4-5 days will fall along and NW of I-95. Looks like 2"+. per WPC. GFS likes NE MD for the heaviest stuff. Even though it has been dry the last week, these damn mosquitoes are hanging in there, and they are bastards. Let my yard get the least rain for a change. Need some legit cold nights too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in MD, you can have this long an outage without absolute needing it (i.e. svr outbreaks). I guess it would take a triple failure (DE/VA) to make something happen here. This is truly a natural disaster free zone (before 9/11 we used to say disaster free!). Not that I'm complaining, especially after the 08/23/11 quake that rattled chimney pots and wells. Could have been costly since insurance doesn't cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Those rain totals for central MD look tasty, but I'll believe it when I see it. It has been so dry for so long. I was just remembering the freak 10/10/79 snow -- we got 2-3 inches in Calvert, so I wonder what central/northern MD saw? No one could believe what they were seeing. There was a heat wave 11 days later with mid-80s. The all-time record for Oct. 10 is 92. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 12z NAM shifted totals SE. I went from 3.5” (yeah right) at 6z to 1.25” at 12z here in Deep Creek. Basically all of the area outside of the mountains are 2”+ on the 12z NAM though. Still welcomed rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 12z Euro generally has the heaviest rain from CHO to DC-BWI to DOV. 2-3". What a shocker. The whole region gets an inch plus though. I am still hoping for the lower end here, but recent history suggests otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we have been getting our share of Fall weather. Next weekend is a real prime Fall weekend. Better than a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been enjoyable, other than the damn late summer/fall batch of mosquitoes. They need to go. I would have sprayed some methyl-ethyl bad shiit a couple weeks ago if I knew they were going to be this persistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Clouding up here in the jungle region of the state. Seeing heavier rain totals to my NW all week made me laugh. As expected the bullseye has settled here where it belongs. Looking forward to my 2-3+ inches. I sure hope this continues this winter. Colder flooding rain lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Even the NW desert regions should see an inch+ from this one. Not excited seeing 2-3+ in my local forecast. Hoping for an under-performer again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 GFS is on an island of its own out here. Barely 0.3” with the others all showing 1-2”+. Maybe an early preview of model wars for our blockbuster winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as in past Octobers the warmer than average Western Alantic waters have induced a later freeze along the Eastern zones and coastal plain. Might even be responsible for stalling of cold fronts. Center of the country gets a taste of winter next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
