kgottwald Posted yesterday at 08:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:37 AM When trying to decide whether I need to bring my umbrella today, I check the NWS forecast for Fairfax County inside the beltway: "Scattered showers after 2 p.m." Then I check the AFD: "Some shower activity is likely to develop today, particularly west of U.S. 15 where scattered showers are in the forecast. . . . High-resolution models bring scattered showers toward the I-95 corridor just after sundown." I didn't know where the heck US 15 is (why can't they use placenames instead of highways??) so I check the map and see it's way out past Leesburg! So the forecast and the discussion are mutually contradictory. I'll chance leaving the umbrella at home, because when I haul that thing around all day and not a drop of rain falls, I feel like I've been made a fool of.

BlizzardNole Posted yesterday at 11:41 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:41 AM My P&C has a tenth to a quarter inch, so using the Central MD Rainfall Formula -- taking the low end of the range and divide in half -- I should get 0.05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US 15 Runs from the VA/NC border through Warrenton up through Leesburg and Frederick MD and into PA into Harrisburg and beyond I believe. It is the way I get into VA from Frederick. And I take it up to take my youngest to college in PA. So the line that just went through Frederick started just west of US 15 and is now headed towards the I95 corridor.
