wxdude64 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The rain has returned. Least it stayed cloudy after the fog burned off and stayed in the low 60's ( AKA NORMAL) for the day. Got a lot of outside work done until the rain ran me in at 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Looks like partly sunny all next week with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s. Maybe a random shower here and there. Hard to complain about that if it verifies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Some heavy rain showers here this morning, but didn't hear any thunder. 0.45" See how much clearing we can get later. Might pop a few t-storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Crushed a new daily rainfall record with 2.38 inches, old mark was 0.92 from 2003. Water running and standing everywhere. Already past normal monthly total on the 11th day of month......3.65 vs 3.64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 0.42". Closer to the GFS/GGEM guidance than Euro/NAM combination from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Been a pretty glorious last number of days - warmth and enough sun, with the occasional shower (and incredibly close lightning strikes!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Only 0.27” but everything is pretty saturated around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Was surprised to find 1.51” in the gauge this morning. Knew it rained heavily before dawn but that was more than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Currently 75, clear blue skies. A departure from the weekend forecast put forth several days ago, but again -- I'll take it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a great Sunday Funday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is growing agreement that a coastal low will form, and while it probably won't be a washout for the Mid-Atlantic, it certainly (barring a flip back to not emphasizing that feature) seems like we are headed for several days in the 50s in the mid to later week period. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Sunday was going to be a washout, and instead it is spring perfection. Sunny and 78. What a weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the coastal low gets going offshore, so odds favor higher impact NE of here. Probably will be a period of showers, esp for eastern areas maybe Thursday, but my hunch is we mostly stay on the drier west side, so the bark may be worse than the bite looking at h5. eta- upper 50s/low 60s are fine with me. Ofc I will be stuck inside working all week so it wont matter much lol. Would be nice in the evenings outside of any showery periods. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Very light showers moving through right now....down to 78, but still comfortable out there. Honestly, more than a salvageable day -- went with Mrs. V to take the dog for a walk in the 12 noon to 1 p.m. hour, and while it was legit warm-ish at 84 with just a taste of humidity at that point, it was still enjoyable.

WVclimo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Torrential rain and some dime-sized hail now. Wind still ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Just after I finished up some gardening about 30 mins ago a cool breeze came through. Then it hailed for about 30 seconds before it started pouring. Would rain hard with some wind for a min or two and then letup or stop entirely, and then it would repeat. The on and off thing went on for about 20 mins. The "bands" were somewhat strange, like a little microburst that couldn't figure out what it wanted to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thunderstorm was pretty intense here a couple hours ago, and there were so many white petals mixed in from a huge flowering tree that it looked like a snow squall. I don't have my gauge up yet but that had to be about 1.0-1.5 in about a half hour. A few good lightning strikes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Time sensitive, and I can't post a loop because of my el crapo network bandwidth, but you can see the low level flow from the NE at the surface trying to bleed across the Potomac. Pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Another nice spring day on tap. Just saw DCA has been 60 or above 20 out of the last 22 days with 10 days above 70. GREAT spring so far, and looking at a long string of highs in the 60s coming up. I even saw a hummingbird at the feeder this morning, which is about 10-15 days early compared to past years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the GFS is showing that we don't get above 60 throughout the DC metro area on 5 of the next 6 days, but it could very well be overdoing clouds, and it will be way too cold with its temps if we end up with more sunshine.
