No rain but no sun either. What an awful spring climate Thank the SSW. Actually, an incredibly deep and anonymously long lasting one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Definitely a tight corridor of heavy rainfall across the area. Currently at 0.91" at mi casa, 0.66" at the office, and totals <0.1" west of Rockville. The western edge should expand a little bit as we move into the evening and overnight, but I doubt it gets much further west than Parrs Ridge zone in NoVA up through MoCo/HoCO/Carroll. Tough luck for those areas to the west as they really could use some precip as well. Sigh. I forecasted yesterday and ended up tightening the QPF for today, but this is even a little tighter than my adjustment. Oy vey. Sorry for those that miss out. Us low landers continue to cash. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted Friday at 06:16 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:16 PM I’m gonna go out on a limb with the bold prediction that I’ll wind up with more rain than @EastCoast NPZ once again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any atmospheric cause you can possibly think of for what's been happening I-95 n & w this year? To my amateur eyes it's hard to believe the same thing repeating itself many times in the exact same spot is just random. Did something setup back in December and just didn't budge?

Honestly, it's just incredibly bad luck. Northern stream dominance likely plays some part because in the grand scheme of synoptics, widespread moisture advection is typically best when influenced with some southern stream jet dynamics. It's just incredibly bad luck over the past several years. Not really much else to note off the top of my head. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted Friday at 07:16 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 07:16 PM I can't remember the last time it rained this steady. It's been raining the same intensity ever since it started. Raindrop production must be great because the drops have been big ever since it started. .90 with steady moderate rain. I feel for the nw crew. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a worse city street tree than sycamore other than tulip trees...which they're actually planting as new trees as well! Like WTF, tulip trees are one of the largest trees east of the Continental dive...second maybe only to...sycamore. Who is in charge of these decisions!? tulip poplars as street trees is nuts lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted Friday at 07:27 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:27 PM 1.06” so far. Puddles are no joke, was in old town for lunch and it’s been a long time since I had to jump over puddles that big. Think I pulled something, so decided to go home and drink beer there. Have to say shoveling this sh!t would have sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Friday at 07:32 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:32 PM 0.45" here so far. Been mostly light to moderate. Don't really need any heavy rain after the previous 2 events. This area is back to just abnormally dry now, from moderate drought previously. Hopefully the severe drought areas just to the west get dumped on.

CAPE Posted Friday at 07:43 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:43 PM That persistent enhanced area of rainfall along and west of the bay esp east and south of DC is impressive. Some guidance had that depicted a couple days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
