Couple of 1.5" stones based on the setup.

Sunday screams big hailers and structure for I-66 south.

Ordered these today...so psyched: https://www.rareseeds.com/store/flowers/zinnias/purple-prince-zinnia

Phineas C, PhD, MD said so Bx. Stop trying to cover things up!

AmericanWx is a joint venture between the Association of ChemTrail Sprayers and the COVID19 5G Derp State. Their stock symbol is WTF.

FL governor has ordered their state medical examiner to stop reporting numbers. We're never going to get a real picture from that state. The Lt. Governor of Texas said there are more important things than living. Both states are example of political officials who really don't care. Data from those two states will be murky at best.

I need some Regular Beer, @Scraff.

M0.88" Reisterstown. You truly live in jackpotville.

Seems the trend this spring has been for precip forecasts to be modeled much higher than verification, and for eastern sections to get more wind than anticipated.

It is, but the Gaithersburg to Derwood to Olney/Sandy Spring area is a bit of a data hole for us despite having a rather high flood risk. Just was curious to know the ground truth vs. radar esimated rainfall. The rain gauge we have as public safety training academy on Snouffer School Rd reported only 0.17" of rain since 8:00 am this morning but the crew that set up the tipping bucket put it in a pretty terrible area for accurate reporting.

Anyone in the Gaithersburg or Olney/Sandy Spring area have a measured rainfall report?

Wow

Gust to 44kts on Bay Bridge just now.

Looks like the bit of sunshine on Delmarva this morning has enabled better mixing of the atmosphere. Several locations are gusting to 40kts+. Should allow for better instability and a flood/flash flood threat this afternoon.

Gov. Hogan just announced on a livestream with Washington Post that MD National guard has moved the cache of S. Korean test kits to an undisclosed source and is providing 24/7 protection of the kits to prevent any chance of the Feds from "acquiring" the materials.

I know I'm arguing semantics, but it's a weather board so bear with me. To me, soaking rain is a farmer's rain that causes within banks rises on water bodies but not flooding.

I find we boom on rainfall if we start with the warm front overhead. Right now it's up in PA so we're at the mercy of katafront precip with the cold front. It's not the greatest recipe for a soaking rainfall and I'm really hoping for it to soften the soil up for my lawn work this weekend.

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like this system is really not that moisture laden. A lot of the guidance now seems struggle to get anyone over an inch of rain and it's out of here pretty quick.

I have a friend who works in a nursing home in Lancaster County and another who is an outpatient nurse at a hospital in Allentown. They both said it's burning through the older population in the state.

Where are you all getting the national mortality numbers from?

@FXW176 your tomatoes are suffering from excess rain and cold ground. Bring the plants inside at night to maintain soil temps of at least 60 degrees and they'll start popping.

Going to dethatch, aerate, and overseed the lawn on Saturday. We're starting to turn the corner with a manageable lawn and it's really making things look nicer. I don't want a golf course, just something that isn't dead weeds and bare patches.

All, this link will take you to the current 1hr, 3hr, and 6hr flash flood guidance from the Mid Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC). Worth bookmarking: https://www.weather.gov/marfc/Flash_Flood_Headwater_Guidance

While it's a potentially good sign, folks really need to understand some key points: 1.) This is likely not going to be a vaccine. In the history of Coronavirus vaccine research, there is no working vaccine for any derivative of Coronavirus. 2.) This is likely going to be a step forward in the treatment protocol but won't be commercially available for at least 6 months, even with all the red tape cut. The physical act of production takes a long time. 3.) Whatever happens with an eventual treatment first, it will initially go to hospitals for treating the most dire cases.

All disasters do this, people choose to ignore them. It's a persistent issue in the emergency management field. This particular event is really pulling the curtains back. The challenge to reduce or eliminate the economic and societal inequalities starts in neighborhoods with people deciding to care about their fellow residents. Until that happens, nothing will change.
