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...

nj2va Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Good write up by LWX on the snow threat for the highest elevations. When we were at Deep Creek last weekend, people were putting their boats / docks in the lake. Cold start to May on tap. There is the potential for a significant heavy/wet snow event at the highest elevations (above 3000FT) in the Alleghenies - particularly in western Grant, western Pendleton, and northwest Highland Counties. The 00Z model guidance and ensemble suites trended higher with QPF and snow totals, with some of the deterministic guidance producing significant snow totals. Even though temperatures are forecast to be right around or just above freezing, snow accumulations are possible at 2000-2500FT, and likely above 3000FT. The combination of wet snow, "greened- up" vegetation due to record warmth to start the year, and strong WSW/W winds has the potential to result in significant tree and power line damage. This is going to be a prolonged event from Monday afternoon through Wednesday night, with the heaviest snow most likely Monday night into Tuesday. The current forecast calls for storm total snow amounts of 4" or more at those highest elevations, and maybe 1-2" down to 2500FT. It will be hard to get accumulations during the day, but certainly expected at night. Decisions for any winter headlines will be made this afternoon once the 12z model suite arrives this morning and midday. Uncertainty remains, so stay tuned to the forecast for additional updates over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
