only .24". very disappointing.

Quite a stream of clouds with this system. Looks like it doesn’t clear up until Ohio. Very soggy in Frederick rn even tho we got jobbed on this round.

Wondering why the Ohio Valley has freeze warnings and we do not....Sterling NWS says it because our growing season does not start until April 11 in their latest discussion.  So the growing season in the Ohio Valley starts before the Mid Atlantic?  Something does not jive here....there should at least be a special weather statement or hazardous weather outlook.

Because out there it's probably for tonight, thus the warning. Not sure about the growing season comment- that doesnt make sense. Freeze watches up for the MD eastern shore, down into VA and NC for tomorrow night. I bet Sterling will put one in effect overnight or AM tomorrow.

I’ve been putting one out since Thursday .  Everywhere north and west of Beltway will be 25-28 for 4-7 hours Tuesday night and Wed morning . Even temp crippled DCA should hit 31/32 for couple of hours. Told friends bring things in or cover and don’t plant this past weekend.

Thanks, but since temps below freezing tonight in NW DMV there should be a warning tonight as well. WB 3K NAM

We will issue a Freeze
Watch for most of our Delmarva counties (with the exception of the
Delaware Beaches and New Castle County DE) since the growing season
is considered to have officially started there. In the tier of zones
just to the north and east, the start date isn`t until the 11th.

I understand the reason they gave.....but then why did the NWS post Freeze warnings west of the mountains???
