nw baltimore wx Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’m betting that I’m over 2” but I’ll wait to measure until after this last bit wrings out over me. I’m really hoping that the breaks in the clouds that I’m seeing on satellite get here before sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 1.72” and still pouring. This is a good example of what I keep talking about with the “new normal” for rain events IMBY. Once again, what should’ve been a typical 0.3-0.5” shower becomes a 2+” deluge for no real reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 1.98” Still some light rain but probably not enough to get over the hump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Went from 0.82" to 1.48" quick. Well now I am not happy. I need to try another chair. Or bed. Or bowl of porridge. This ain't quite right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Holly had a great discussion this morning, saying this had similarities to a PRE, similar the setup ahead of a tropical event. That low that was hanging off NC had some semi tropical characteristics before moving inland, and even though it weakened, it maintained a circulation and interacted with the front from the low well to the NW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Imagine if this were snow... Heard that 1000 times, right? Well... What a stinkin' rotten day to be outside! Now it's all foggy and, well yuck! So bloody muddy now. Good thing we're not getting 50 mph winds after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Looks like 1.85" is the total. 60 degrees at 8pm. Bring on the heat and the hot wind, I guess. Maybe we can dry up some of this mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like a PRE on the models leading up to the event. Shouldn’t have been surprised that it overperformed for 95 and East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Mount Holly - " Rogue - severe caliber gusts " Model soundings suggest winds will be increasing in this regime, readily gusting to 35+ mph by afternoon. As winds begin to veer, diurnal mixing peaks, and a reinforcing cold front approaches the area, speeds will likely exceed advisory criteria in much of the area. Winds at 850 mb will be approaching 50 kt, and mixing has the potential to reach or even exceed this level. Seems likely we will need a wind advisory for Friday afternoon and evening, and if mixing ends up being more efficient than currently advertised, a rogue severe-caliber gust may occur. Held off on issuing wind headlines early this morning given ongoing/near-term weather, but expect wind products to be issued for the afternoon package.

Doesnt seem like the new model is gonna be off to a good start lol. Despite what verification scores might have shown I felt like it wasn’t as good as old GfS but I guess I’m wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Why doesn't the NWS ever put up a Wedge Advisory to alert us that their optimistic temp/sunshine forecast has a 90% chance of not verifying?? I thought I was going to be able to eat outside today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
