09-10 analogy Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Pretty gusty outflow coming through now. Maybe 30-35 MPH or so. Could go for a quick drenching and some T&L but the 2"/hour stuff I'll pass on. I have better things to do this afternoon than have a dance with my watervac down in the basement.

BlizzardNole Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Completely whiffed AGAIN with just enough to barely wet the ground. It split right over me then formed a solid line 3 miles to my east like it does over and over. I wish I took screenshots of radar because it's hard to believe. My wife just got back from Gaithersburg which is outside the desert zone and said it was pouring there. JESUS CHRIST this place sucks. I can't wait to move out of this SH!THOLE in a couple more years. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Ha, the main line somehow missed me, too. Beat goes on. Somehow going to have to water my grass today. Line is really pushing east now.

Anecdotal kinda useless. Yet another heavy solid rain mass approached DC beltway and immediately decreased in intensity Hell from PA to Richmond the DC metro took the lightest hit.

midatlanticweather Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So far, I picked up 0.04" of rain! Wow! Radar is clear this way. I am not wishing for flooding rains like I am seeing on twitter. I would rather have less rain than a flooded basement. Wishing the best for those impacted and for a little water out this way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better dynamics were always north today. Fredericksburg is missing out too, but isn’t in the DC beltway. 0.14” of pedestrian rainfall today pushing my total to 3.64” for July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the ethanol using capital of the USA. Corn dust. So far today BWI has 1.2”. Let’s see what DCA reports. You can see the storms increasing in intensity again as they exit Dc and move north and east and it’s not the first time . I watch the weather all seasons and only a few here do that. You asked a good question so thanks. That’s vastly different that the 1-2 here who feel compelled to chime in and “set me straight” . Some need to get off the company bus and learn to be open minded and look at things. Again, thanks for the good question.

CAPE Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 As good as the radar looked with that stuff developing to my south, only 0.2" so far. Came together just to the N and E. All comes down to that line coming across the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Looks like mostly a miss in east Columbia but I was driving on I-97 home from the beach when that line hit and it was blinding. Most cars pulled over and stopped. Visibility was probably down to a 1/4 mi or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 No shortage of rain IMBY! 1.11" so far, still raining. Was severe warned about an hour ago. No severe, a few nice strikes, lots of rain. Breezy at times during the heavier showers. Was going 10mph on the zero turn to beat the rain too. Heaviest stuff they said we'd get isn't happening and that's fine with me. Probably because I cleared out the downspouts haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Getting some beneficial moderate to heavy rain here with the main show. A few rumbles of thunder. Very little wind. No complaints, but not exciting. With all the talk of training and back building, this seems very progressive. Perhaps a different story up north. Just hit an inch. Probably not much more looking at radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer may not datisfy you and certainly won’t a few others who overestimate their empowerment So IAD 0.7 then DCA. 0.14 then BWI 1.35” Following this one time would not mean much but I see it 30 times per year starting about 15 years ago when ethanol became so prevalent Moderate to the west, weakens right around DC beltway circle, restrengthens when moving east and north . It’s most prevalent in summer and winter and not fall or spring. A unified cold front in the summer is not so effected. Just make scrupulous observations from now thru end of February and get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
