    Got the alert for a flash flood emergency.

    Plenty have tried. There are papers about it, but differentiating all the aspects is difficult.

    FF Watch. Looking at radar, I don’t see any way that the UHI over DC didn’t contribute to initiation.

    That's the service you get when you try to gut an essential organization.

    Hard to tell from a still image. "Clear air" echoes can be a variety of things, with bugs probably being the top culprit. The radar wavelength that the NWS radar are at (S-band, 10cm) are also sensitive to Bragg scattering from atmospheric eddies. At times, the radar beam can also be reflected back to the surface (anomalous propagation).

    They seem really loud this year, but I can’t tell whether I’m just hyper-sensitive to them now.

    Larry is going to rack up some ACE.

    I’m guessing there are no new posts on this forum since everyone is outside.

    Great Falls from the VA side this evening. I’ve never visited while the water was up, so this is impressive. Amazing that the flood markers are in a different stratosphere.

    There’s another video out there of a guy walking through ankle deep water and then as soon as he goes to another room, the wall gives out and the whole room immediately floods. In this case he was ok, but that’s the scenario where it can happen very quickly. found it -

    The models did really well. That is an exceptional match, though.

    I’m not suggesting they drive ahead, just point the cab over to the shoulder. Truck drivers are very experienced with the dangers of cross-winds.

    Come on. Get away from the power lines and try to get as parallel to the wind as possible.

    I do think that it is a bit of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation for the administration. We all generally had the same forecast. If they had shut down school in Fairfax County and then we got less than an inch of rain and no wind during the day (which is what happened), parents would be pissed that they canceled school for a bit of rain.

    DC Beltway bullseye over the past six weeks.

    This is how we know that summer is over.

    1.98” from the overnight cell and another 0.90” during the day yesterday.

    Still raining!

    Ida delivered from landfall to exit.

    The radar in Jersey and NYC this evening is something.

    66 and a breeze. Legit shivered a bit. Tomorrow is going to be awesome.

    Interesting seeing the lightning signatures pop up on several of the warned cells.

    Keeping an eye on that one. In a meeting right now with a coworker who is in Oakton. I’ll get ground truth!
