  1. You can check out the code here and decide where the programmers decided to put in the 'every option' lines. https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/fv3atm
  2. ~2.5” which means I’m approaching 10” since the start of December. Drought, busted.
  3. DCA not even reporting gusts at this point. If it sticks, the peak gust will be 48 mph. 4 mph wind/gust here. The boundary layer always wins for a southerly wind (*results may vary east of 95).
  4. Wind here has been a dud. Gust to 29 a couple of hours ago. The rain just keeps coming, though.
  5. DCA to 47 mph My daughter’s music class was cancelled because the building lost power.
  6. Far more puddles than the previous storms over the past month. We really are saturated now in the top levels of the soil. Over an inch and plenty more on the way.
  7. Good news here is that the precip is still significant. Not quite as much as 00z, but still most of us are 0.8"-1.0" QPF.
  8. They closed what is probably the most flood-prone area of Fairfax County, Burke Lake Road at the lake. The first domino to drop.
  9. I'm still skeptical that we see the widespread significant winds, but yeah with the preexisting conditions I don't have a problem with it.
  10. I haven't been looking at the long-term stuff, but diving into the GFS it is interesting that there is a regular cadence of chances in a broad sense. There is effectively a re-load every few days, which is really apparent looking at the precipitable water. That gives us chances, even if nothing is coming together on the model right now. 9th 12/13th 15/16th 18/19th 21st
  11. Just a completely different evolution than the Euro. That said, the players are there. The euro pairs the shortwave in the SW with the trough diving down through the Plains. The GFS has both of these things, but doesn't sync them up.
  12. Just for fun, the wind accumulation product from Windy provides the peak modeled wind gust. Let's see how they do at DCA: NAM 3k (06z): 57mph HRRR (13z): 60mph (!) GFS (06z): 63mph Euro (06z): 49mph ICON (06z): 54mph
  13. You are correct. The HRRR has definitely stepped up winds since yesterday.
  14. 973 low making landfall in coastal Maine with Caribou switching over to rain.
  15. 12z HRRR looks far more realistic with the surface wind gusts than the NAM. Peak wind gusts via Windy. Reds are 40s, purples are 50s.
  16. A causal reminder that, inland, we don't typically get big winds with SE flow. It generally stays elevated. That said, the NWS P&C for DC Tuesday evening has 30G45mph which is solid.
  17. 35.1. The steady rain has started. Was in downtown DC earlier and never saw a flake. Sleet to rain.
  18. 33.3 here. Most of downtown DC is in the 36 range.
  19. 23.2, which was colder than any December day, but not as cold as Nov. 29th.
  20. If only we had that track in Jan/Feb…
