If so, then that swarm and the incoming line of storms are gonna meet head-on directly over our heads within the hour...maybe playing out a couple scenes from "Independence Day."

At least roughly if you follow on Google Earth an imaginary line running from the radome to the ESE along 267 and then continue that line - it would end up somewhere near/just south of Easton...maybe traffic? Traffic seems light now. Could it be a crane working on the Metro Extension to Dulles? Not sure how far along that is, but it was projected to be completed this summer. It would also make sense as to why it is not there all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amounts coming down , and radar looks pathetic. Talk of excessive rains have slowly evolved to .25 inches , if we are lucky. I don't need or want a flood but some rain for the flowers would be nice.

Might hold together enough for something down here. I think the ridging is hanging on along the coast and may tend to weaken the convection as it moves east though. Another round towards morning into tomorrow though with the front. A half inch or so would be nice. Its been 9 days since any appreciable rain has fallen.

kgottwald Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Oh, there's been plenty of rain in Tysons Corner/Vienna. I walk to work every day, four miles each way, and both yesterday morning and this morning I got rained on (the latter being a surprise). Just got home after coming through a wind-driven downpour which turned the sidewalks into rivers and thoroughly soaked my pants and socks. Just once, can't we get a DRY summer for a change?? A good old-fashioned drought like in 1930 or 1965?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Decent area of light to moderate rain behind the main line, such that it was. 0.22" and still raining. More than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattskiva Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Waterspout here in Colonial Beach. Someone else caught it on video. Came right over our house, bent trees sideways and blew my storm door off its hinges. https://www.facebook.com/901050326645440/posts/3906459429437833/?vh=e&extid=0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a quarter inch here over the last 36 hours. Looks like there are multiple chances for some rain over the next few days, but probably not widespread or heavy for most. The NW crew has been getting most of the good stuff so far. Maybe this summer will be the inversion of last, where I-95 east was continuously inundated and the NW folks were near drought lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Cruddy morning but hopefully the rain washes the pollen away for a couple days. Mothers day weekend looks pretty blah.

I got it for Christmas and so far it’s been working pretty well. Performance seems about as good as my old Davis Vantage pro 2 so far, that lasted 15 years though. I have a terrible sighting problem, surrounded by large trees and houses, so wind readings aren’t great. Was leary about the haptic rain sensor, but seems pretty good now compared to surrounding stations, they use some sort of AI to smooth out errors. Couple of cool features, the UV sensor and lightening detector are cool, not sure how accurate they are but interesting to have. For the cost, seems like a lot of bang for the buck. Just have to see how long it lasts. Also setup is a breeze! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About right, but I am much closer to a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
