Agree, but the basic citizen really can't tell the difference between a Watch and Warning. I've always advocated for a Watch and a "Oh Sh##! It's happening" distinction.
-
I logged just under 2" in my unscientific tall shot glass on my deck. Also, the ground was really dry as my sump pump was not running this am. Usually, this amount of precip makes it run for a while.
-
1 of 2 things will happen today: we get hit hard with slamming thundershowers all around or it won't rain a drop and it will be just like today for 1 week straight.
-
Pretty intense sideways rain and wind w/some thunder thrown in. from the west. There was not a lot of precip to it, though. At least not here. Lasted about 15mins.
-
Thunderstorms. https://x.com/thetimes/status/1933194649457262720

It will be hard to clear .25 inside the beltway thus far. Maybe overnight we'll get more.
-
^^Or, the DC beltway split. All this activity all around and maybe light rain here.
-
(Radar) Rain clouds passed over me in Annandale, but nary a drop fell.

Driving east on rt 7 today at 5ish. Right before Tysons corner.

Hey all, I need to drive to Springfield MA tomorrow or maybe even Friday. Want to avoid that Noreaster rain. What would be a good time to leave. Generally, want to leave the earlier the better. And, I feel that leaving friday would be most people driving due to Memorial day. (sorry if this should be in another forum. "banter" is usually just stuff about someone's new toy like a new car, lol)

Got totally dumped on last night around 11pm ish. My electric gauge is busted, but a non scientific glass filled up 2+" in half hour to an hour. Storm drain was gushing last night and it was still running this am.
-
Had a really nice easter Sunday yesterday. Spent a lot of it outside. Tree pollen was high so I reached for a 24hr Zyrtec at midday (a rarity for me). Grateful for the lack of mosquitos. I guess they haven't had a chance to breed yet. However, those gnats that try to land in your eyes were plentiful. Oh, well.
-
It got so hot today, I actually went to a 7-11 and got an Icee.
-
Radar shows a yellow band down by Richmond. Immediate metro just a green line of moderate rain.
-
If this storm gets 1" in the DC metro will this forecast be a bust? I've seen some of these models, but today's temps were way too warm to produce this much forecast snow. Ground too warm. The day(s) before the storm has to be subfreezing for this type of snow totals to produce. I was driving around today (in and around beltway) and outside temp read 37. I've just lived here too long and that's what I've observed. being outside and not inside looking at computer models.
-
Temp slightly overperformed today. Hit 76 when it was forecast at 70.
-
Hoping these blobs wring themselves out. Cools everything off. then some clearing and I can get some outdoor tennis in.
-
Stationary rain blobs firing off in Annandale. Also, with thunder.
-
Pop up rain shower in Annandale...
-
Got pounded so hard that I had to delay my departure time this am. I left when the rain lightened up. I'll have a full accounting of how much i got in that short timeframe tonight. DCA got 1.68" in 1 hr. Also, snapped the rushing clouds with some peeks of blue skies right after that deluge. I think it's been all clouds for the past 2 days.
-
National hit a high of 90 and stands at 87 rn. Not the 96 that was predicted. I'll take it!
-
I think the region averages 3" per month. Anecdotally, I think those big, dumping blogs of rain only occur from April to August. Source: my side outside stairs drain only backs up during these months. No matter how clean I keep it! Hurricanes that work their way up later in the summer, including September, tend to be more general, steady rain events over a 1-2 day period.
-
Rainbow and sunset after the line went through. I think we got .16"
-
The last real summer, no-rain drought was 2011, if i remember correctly.
-
I grew up in Laredo, TX and this is just your basic summer. Think of a mini Houston with some dry heat days from the Chihuahua desert to give you variety! Also, worked for a company from El Paso (more dry heat). I did business trips there in the summer. Can say that was the only city where you would cross the roadway and slightly sinking into the spongy asphalt (walking).
