George BM Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Forecast Discussion Tuesday, June 20, 2023 10:58AM EDT Flash Flood Watch in effect for the greater Washington/Baltimore Metro area until 5am EDT Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Tropical Storm Warning in effect for the greater Washington/Baltimore Metro area until further notice. Discussion: Heavy rains will continue to overspread the region as the center of Tropical storm Bret moves up the Chesapeake Bay. Interaction with a shortwave trough to the west over the Ohio Valley will help enhance lift and, therefore, the rainfall in the area extending roughly 50-100mi west of the center. This, of course, will put these enhanced tropical rainbands over The DC metro and the western half of the Baltimore metro. With Pwats of around 2.5”, high freezing levels (~15-16kft) and strong forcing from the trough to the west a large 50+ mile wide band of 2-3”+/hr rainfall rates w/ even higher rates in embedded bands. This will allow much of the area between I-81 and the Chesapeake Bay to receive upwards of 12-18”+ of rain w/ local amounts eclipsing 2' possible. This will lead to catastrophic flooding not only in flood prone areas but also flooding in many areas that don’t normally flood or have NEVER flooded before. The heaviest rainfall rates will occur over the region between midday and 8pm this evening. Another factor from Bret will be strong NE, northerly, then NW winds. The highest winds will occur between 2pm this afternoon and 9pm this evening when winds could gust 40 to 60mph. This may lead to scattered to numerous power outages from fallen trees especially when considering how wet it’s already been since the end of April. … Bottom line is that this is the beginning of a very high impact event for the region. Impacts from this will be felt for many weeks or even months. Forecaster Wannabe: George BM 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Nice. He is better than Peters at this juncture, and the Ravens CB draft pick(Kelly) isn't a plug in starter at this point. They could still sign Peters, which would be ideal. Can never have enough CBs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Staggering how absolutely legitimately loaded the AFC is with absolute class football teams. In no particular order, teams that can legit dream on coming out of the conference to varying degrees - KC, Chargers, Jax, Miami, Buffalo, Bengals, Ravens, Jets? and then legit darkhorse teams that have a puncher's chance Steelers (I can't count them out), a Sean Peyton rejuvinated Broncos team, Browns And that's not counting teams that loaded up w/ interesting new QBs to make this conference even more challenging - Colts, Texans and sorta the Titans. Just...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I didn't know they have salary cap room to sign Peters.. I agree, can't have enough CB's in the sport today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Posting to correct Banter thread. DOAH!! If anyone was curious about my situation: My interview went very well last week, in my opinion at least. I have not heard back or know anything yet. I'm sure the selection was made, but it's in someone else's hands now. Finishing up my stretch of mids this morning. Traveling to a wedding this weekend with my wife. I'll report back if I find out anything. Have a great day everyone! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm It will be a miracle if they win more than 70 games. Some young talent. Not a lot but they have bullpen arms. Last year too. A normal looking rebuild with 2 potential studs at the top of rotation. Be a few more years more dollars and more pieces. Long way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Terrible, horrible phone pic but for bird peeps this pileated friend from a few days ago.

RDM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 13 hours ago, Kay said: even worse pic We have one (or more) pileated woodpeckers that hang out around our home. Saw one down at ground level attacking the soft spot at the base of a white pine tree in our front yard. Got within 20 feet of him as he was digging at something. Amazing how big they are up close. And those eyes - wow. Can often hear him pounding away on a calm evening from the entire neighborhood. When he gets going on a hollow tree the reverberation echos like a drum. Have some smaller woodpeckers also in our area. They love attacking the cedar trim on our home. They've done a lot of damage over the years. Small buggers only about 5 or 6 inches tall, but very effective at what they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I learned how to properly eradicate them, no more woodpecker attacks on the house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 We have a mating pair nearby and the "laughing" call drives my dog nuts. They do like the tree stumps though and get fairly close but are about as skittish as a fox when it comes to human noise! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I am hearing Norther Flicker calls all day, at the house, but have not seen them yet. We have downy, red headed(!), red bellied, hairy and Northern flickers at the house/woods around me but no pilleated that I have found (as of yet). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
