adelphi_sky Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hmmmm. My wind sensor is still reading only a 10mph top wind in the last hour. Wonder if it is my geography. It has a clear line to the south. I guess I need a 100ft pole to get good wind readings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Far more puddles than the previous storms over the past month. We really are saturated now in the top levels of the soil. Over an inch and plenty more on the way. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really are saturated now in the top levels of the soil. Over an inch and plenty more on the way. Yep, plenty of ponding action. And now the wires are beginning to sway in the wind. Worst case scenario on the way: lose power while the basement gets standing water, so that I can't use the sump pump or water vac to try and stay ahead of it. Well, not worst case; that would be if I slip in my dark basement and hit my head and off myself. At least then I wouldn't have to have an extended date with my water vac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Starting to hear the wind roaring up in the top levels of the trees. Nice movement of the trees too. Going to be a lot of tree down calls coming in throughout the evening. Stay safe! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna need something to break the wedge. How much snow did you get with this mornings thump? Got about an inch and half here. But the roads were untreated and one hell of a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Barely any wind up here so far, but easily the best overall rain I’ve seen in a year. We’ve had a few decent events the last few months, but it seems like Frederick has consistently been on the lower end of areawide totals. This one is a true drought denter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I only have the ancillary data to support this but soil moisture percentages within the saturation runoff region was around 80% prior to the rain falling. As predicted, the creeks/streams are responding quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW DC current has six hazardous weather statements: Coastal Flood Warning (not really applicable at 380' but what the hell, it's the same jurisdiction as Hains Point); Hazardous Weather Outlook; Special Weather Statement; High Wind Warning; Flood Watch; Coastal Flood Advisory (again, 380' and Hains Point). This SWS is kinda cool, though: ...HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON REGION TODAY BETWEEN 500 PM AND 1000 PM EST... Weather conditions will deteriorate as a strong frontal system approaches this afternoon, then passes through the greater Baltimore/Washington region this evening. This will result high winds capable of downing trees and powerlines, tidal flooding, and the potential for flooding of small streams and creeks. This will create hazardous travel conditions late this afternoon through late evening across the region. Light-to-moderate rain will continue early this afternoon, then increase in intensity late this afternoon, with a several hour period of heavy, intense rainfall expected between 6 PM and 10 PM. This heavy rainfall, coupled with already saturated soils from recent rainfall, will cause flooding of small streams and creeks. Do not attempt to drive across flooded roadways; additionally, flooding at night increases the risk for motorists not being able to quickly identify the water hazards due to decreased visibilities by the heavy rain and darkness. Easterly winds will increase in intensity as well this afternoon across the region, with gusts to 50 MPH expected late this afternoon through mid-evening. Locations closer to the Chesapeake Bay will see higher wind gusts of 60-70 MPH. Strong winds will increase the risk of falling trees and downed powerlines. Again, the risk of poor outcomes resulting from high winds is increased during nighttime. Winds will decrease after midnight tonight. Finally, areas along the tidal Potomac River and western shore of the Chesapeake Bay north of Smith Point VA should prepare for moderate-to-major tidal flooding. The cities of Baltimore, Annapolis MD, and Alexandria VA are most prone to tidal flooding, and the coupling of heavy rainfall and strong onshore winds of 50-60 MPH in these locations will work together to create moderate-to-major tidal impacts. Repeating, a strong frontal system will approach and pass through the greater Baltimore/Washington region late this afternoon into this evening. Small stream and creek flooding, tidal flooding, and high winds will create hazardous conditions late this afternoon through late evening. Motorists should expect hazardous conditions in their evening commute, and should avoid unnecessary travel. Prepare for the potential for power outages.
