mattie g Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That was a mid-summer dumping of rain if I’ve ever seen it. Almost felt like a daily downpour in motte tropical areas - heavy, heavy rain, a little lightning and thunder, and no wind. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty close to yesterdays short range guidance, which showed heavy rain early then a break or scattered thereafter. 12z hrrr wants to bring a semi organized line through the area around 21z-0z. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, either the 18z or 0z NAM was a red flag on a big rain event today. Seem to have steady rain this morning, a break, and then mostly a miss from the really heavy rain and storms this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Gauge says .52" with probably a little more before this ends. Might be able to salvage the afternoon hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sky starting to lighten up and 60 degrees. Does this afternoon end up like yesterday with surprise sunshine? Looks like I got about 0.5 which puts me at near 2 inches since Friday. That's perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I've done pretty well up here with both events. Looks like 1-1.5"+ on average around my location a couple miles nw of downtown Frederick. Might be closing in on 4" total when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Steady light rain pretty much the entire time since the washout earlier. The grass, trees, and landscaping have loved every minute of the last few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
