    Looks like a broad area circulation over Annapolis, and now a tvs signature from Dover radar per radarscope image.

    My rain guage shows 0.76", but that’s way low. First storm only registered 0.04" due to the wind driving the heavy rain straight sideways and not filling the tipping guage. Any suggestions on how to measure storms where the rain simply doesn’t go into the guage’s cone? 2nd storm dumped 0.64" and seemed to rain less than the first storm (but also less windy).

    Here’s what NWS multisensor estimates:

    I still rather have this thing east than west at this range. Rarely do I see storms move back east when we see a rain event, but we all the time see events move west on us...usually giving us rain as a result. I can live with a day or two of missed model runs for the hope that by mid-week the models are back with a solid hit on us. That said, a fish spinner is definitely possible too. Just hoping that's not the way it goes

    Hour 102. Nice h5.

    Puking snow over Boston. Big take away, even with the significant h5 changes, is the model is still pumping out a monster storm. Just misses us in this run. I’d rather it be east and dry cold at this range than west and warm rainy.

    0z looks very similar to the previous 6z at 144+/-.

    I like the run-to-run consistency! Our best storms almost always show that at this range. Snowicane here we come!

    What I like: This storm has been periodically showing up on long ranges for several days now. Those that miss are missing east or not developing at all - and it seems like we get a east bias at range so that's in our favor for those that do put out a fish spinner. What I don't like: It's still way too far out! Give it 3-4 days and I'll be onboard, especially if it's a little east of us.

    5 feet of snow right on top of Ji and everyone else is in a snow hole.

    51.0 / 36.7

    Nothing beats the CRAS

    985.8mb, temperature up to 49.4F

    Winds howling now. 32mph. Gusts to 38. That was a wierd lull I had earlier.
  15. Random Chaos
    My wind just died: 23mph 10 minutes ago, 1mph now. Temperature spiked too - up 5F in the last 20 minutes to 44.5F. the intense band is almost to me. Pressure also started going back up.

    Now I want snownado!
  17. Random Chaos
    Some pretty intense winds aloft.

    It is a severe thunderstorm warning. And a special marine warning for waterspouts and wind!
  19. Random Chaos
    Waterspouts possible…

    Here we go!

    Volcano Cafe is great! Always read it after an event, mostly lurker there but occasionally post. Got me to check my weather station for the shockwave:

    Some incredible statistics about the Tonga eruption here - including record cold temperature detected by a satellite and over 400k lightening strikes in just a few hours: https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog/ (unfortunately no direct article link available, it’s the post on Jan 15th) And here are some other great satellite views of the eruption:

    25.6/8.2 10-15mph wind N to NNE Near Annapolis.

    I’m not sure that’s quite what is depicted. The wind doesn’t really pick up on the NAM until after the rain transition on the model. That ZR is almost entirely before the big rain mass reaches us. If you look at the 850 winds at 0z Monday on the 12z NAM, the mass of wind has just reached DC and already the ZR has pulled north of DC.

    Looks to me the biggest problem with the models is consolidating the low pressure in a single location. The GFS is jumping back and forth between 2 of these lows, and that seems to be what is making the sudden west jog jyst before it hits us:
