mattie g Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Last Flood Watch resulted in lots of rain from Fredericksburg and south with barely anything up this way, so obviously the same thing is going to happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 90/76, feels like 102, ugh. Man it's hot. Drove my old Subaru to work today and apparently some mouse made a nest in the cabin air box because just turning the AC on smells like a mix of dead leaves and mouse piss. Sophie's choice ..no AC in the car or mouse pee smell permeating everything @KAOS, fyi turns out I have a condenser coil leak on my AC in the attic. Case solved, getting fixed just in time for the cool weather. Topped up refrigerant in the meantime and air temp dropped by 7deg instantly. Ok sorry back to weather... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The storm to the west dissolved the part coming my direction and continues to slide west. I’m just on the edge of the green and yellow precip but there’s no rain still. 3:49pm Edit: there we go. A little light rain has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I just walked outside and it was sunny out but there was a storm right nearby. No clouds were overhead but the downdraft from the nearby storm carried rain out to my house when the wind gusted. It might be in the top 10 weather experiences of the year for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The AFD seemed a bit ominous for this evening The biggest threat today by far is the risk for flash flooding. Slow storm motions, high PWATs, high CAPE, a stalled frontal boundary, and parallel flow along that boundary are all favorable for a flash flood risk. Training and slow-moving storms are expected this afternoon. Most areas could see an inch or two of rain, but isolated higher amounts (potentially much higher) are possible where training occurs. Rainfall rates of 2-3"/hr will be commonplace this afternoon, but it will be a matter of who sees those rates for the extended periods that determines the maximum flash flood potential. The Flood Watch was expanded to include the rest of the NW tier of the forecast area. Definitely want to watch how this line over eastern WV orients itself as it pushes eastward. Should this lay out east to west over the metros, could be looking at a big issue this evening for those areas. Some positive thoughts though are that there seems to be just enough DCAPE at this time to ever so slowly push storms east and south as they form new updrafts along their own weak outflows. So hopefully this will be just enough to get storms through quick enough to not be a major issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you finally got a flush hit since your area has been left high and dry lately! Got a nice looking cluster to my west moving right towards us -- Sugarloaf Mtn keep yer hands off my storm!
