Can confirm -- weirdly (for me), I woke up for the day at 5 a.m. and fired up the work lappy. Three bursts of heavy rain rolled through between 5:30-6:15 a.m. Currently 52. 23 minutes ago, CAPE said: Getting a light shower, but that line is dying as it moves east. High pressure nosing down from the NE looks to keep it pretty dry here. Looks like tomorrow will be decent- mostly dry, although cloudy for much of the day. Further west there will be better chances of showers. By Sat night into Sunday the warm front will make progress eastward, with increased chances for showers. Listened to the wx radio during my mini-bout of insomnia in the 5 a.m. hour and, to your point made yesterday, they're starting to talk up the chance of stronger to possibly severe storms on Sunday afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some parameters in place, but as of now it looks like any severe would be pretty isolated and south of our region. Some garden variety storms look like a decent bet though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain woke me up around 4. Thats when it started coming down heavy at times. Smacking the windows type stuff. You know you are a wx weenie when you reach for the ipad from bed just to look at radarscope and see why its pouring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 3 hundredths of an inch of rain this morning. Just wet enough to prevent me from finishing the mowing. Hopefully it dries up this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 57 with some sun breaks here. Breezy and cool. Dry day after a few sprinkles this morning. Overall I would take another week or 2 of weather like this vs days and days of 70s and humid. Save that for May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally agree...but give me 65-70 with low humidity so that I can at least sit outside at the tiki bar comfortably! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino16 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Some storms to my south, something to my north, sunny here but feels like a summer day. 6:46PM Edit: Storms North, West, South, hopefully they make it here, but I have my doubts because... They probably aren’t going to make it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half-kidding -- I have about a third of my own mowing for the week that I didn't get to on Wednesday, and which still needs finishing. Rain and thunder are semi-threatening nearby...plus, there are IPAs that require opening between now and bedtime, so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the "featured" area, which I mowed yesterday, the rest is a combo of various weeds and moss among the trees lol. It can wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Nice storm yesterday afternoon. Torrential rain peaking at 6"/hr, lots of lightning (including one within a couple hundred yards), and pea-size hail. Fun way to start the season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 52 here with clouds/fog/mist. Should be a dry and mostly cloudy day, with maybe some sun breaks later, and quite a bit warmer than yesterday's high of 57. So far the High pressure to the NE has kept any significant rain mostly west of here. Looks like that will start to change late tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Crazy thunderstorm over night here and in Northern DE. with few intense lightening strikes and it prompted MH to issue a flood advisory in a area that was previously forecasted to only have a 20 % chance of showers. Unusual rainfall events continue right where they left off previously. Ground very saturated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Went for a run and then brunch in fells point this morning. Was cool/foggy/a little mist but not bad for a morning run. Comfortable. Lots of people out even though it wasn’t maybe the most ideal morning but Fells was popping. There was a 5k run going on, a couple farmers markets and just a lot of people out and about. Now at the park and it’s obviously warmer with a little bit of sun from time to time. Lots of folks here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I am guessing the warm front went through? Gorgeous now after being so cloudy this AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
