Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage through this afternoon and evening. Some thunderstorms will contain heavy rainfall, with rainfall amounts around 1 to 3 inches possible within an hour or two. Storms may also train over the same areas, causing the possibility for locally higher amounts around to 5 inches of rain within a few hours. Heavy rainfall in a short period of time combining with already saturated soils means that creeks and streams may rapidly rise out of their banks along with the potential for flash flooding in urban areas.

And an elevated excessive rainfall risk: Experimental Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook

The latest AFD from LWX: (bolding mine) .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... The aforementioned upper low will continue to drift northeastward toward the area tomorrow, and will eventually become centered overhead during the day on Wednesday. A steady rain will continue through much of the morning tomorrow within the zone of large scale ascent downstream of the approaching upper low. As we work into the afternoon hours, a mid-level dry slot may start to work in from the southwest, which may allow for a few breaks of sun and some limited surface heating/development of surface based instability. If this occurs, thunderstorms may start to develop within the dry slot and lift northward into the area during the late afternoon/evening hours. These thunderstorms may be capable of producing heavier rainfall rates, and may potentially lead to some instances of flooding. The earlier issued Flood Watch was expanded to include all of the WV Panhandle, most of Northern Virginia, and Allegany County in Maryland. A general 2-4 inches of rain is expected by late Tuesday night across the watch area, with localized higher totals along the eastern facing slopes of the Blue Ridge and Alleghenies, where upslope southeasterly flow should enhance totals. Further north and east, rainfall totals are expected to be slightly lower, but an instance or two of flooding can`t be completely ruled out. The steadier rain should come to an end from southwest to northeast during the second half of the night, with the Flood Watch ending as well late Tuesday night.

NWS is starting to roll out the 18Z GPS guidance.

Lost power overnight near Crystal City, got iit back a bit after 5 am.

Already on maple leaf watch (most of the buds have split into 2).

During Snowmageddon 2010, my Hill of Doom got a workout. Some of the sliders had to be stopped before going off the plateau and go down the next steep and try to crash into I-395.

As much as I've griped about shelling out $$, I'd rather have a foot of s*** than ANY i**. Things can be delivered in the first case (and shoveled away). The other case may involve accidents. May all the s***-lovers have all they desire.

Can Yoda (or someone else) please explain which model has half its members calling for 6 or more?

Remember: Some of us have to pay to be shoveled out. I'm NOT happy about the GFS caving. May it all go to sea south of Hatteras.

The latest from LWX -- Changed Discussion -- A cold dome of high pressure overhead will move off to our north and east on Wednesday. A low pressure system will quickly develop over southeast Georgia around late morning or midday Wednesday, before moving up the Eastern U.S. Coastline toward Cape Hatteras and rapidly intensifying into a big winter storm Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. Temperatures on Wednesday will be about 10 to 15 degrees below average only reaching near or slightly below or slightly above freezing, setting the stage for some accumulating snowfall widespread across our region. The winter storm expected Wednesday into Thursday shows a track and intensity that could equate to several inches of snow. This particular winter storm is still 4 to 5 days out from now so there remains some uncertainty as to the exact track and exact intensity and which model leans toward the best solution. The NAM model only goes out as far as midday Tuesday and can only show us signs of some front-running warm advection light snowfall spreading east across the western Ohio Valley. The GFS model shows a fast moving winter storm that could stay just offshore from Georgia to the Outer Banks and then out to sea. Thus, this track and speed would favor a few inches of snow across the southeastern third of our region from midday Wednesday through late Thursday. The UKMET is between the GFS, and the models listed below. The EUROPEAN model shows a strong winter storm that rides along the coastline from Georgia to the Outer Banks, slows slightly while moving north into southern New England, while rapidly intensifying. Because this model shows the rapid intensification between the mouth of the Chesapeake and New Jersey, it has much more snow than the GFS in our region. The CANADIAN shows a fast moving winter storm that rides along the coastline as well with a similar amount of snow as the EUROPEAN but may have its track a few miles inland which could decrease totals a little. Bottom line is that we may be looking a major winter storm but with subtle to moderate uncertainties in terms of snow amounts.

From the latest LWX discussion: (snip) Precip will spread across the region Saturday. Warm air aloft will overrun cold air near the surface, with a snow/sleet mix possible briefly at onset for many areas along and west of I-95. Accumulations of snow/sleet should be minimal as warmer air moves in aloft quickly, but a bout of freezing rain is becoming increasingly likely west of US-15 in particular Saturday afternoon and evening. Held off on any watches as 0.25" probs of ice are still modest, but the trend especially in hi-res guidance is up. Low pressure will move across the region Saturday night and keep a prolonged period of moderate rainfall in the region. An additional half to three-quarters of an inch of rain is possible. Because of cloud cover and rainfall Saturday night, low temperatures will bottom out in the middle 30s, which is about 10 degrees above average. Upslope snow in the Appalachians are expected to taper and come to an end gradually on Monday. Gusty winds will diminish as well throughout the day. Highs on Monday will be nearly 20 degrees colder than Sunday when the cold front will have passed through the region. One thing to note, cold high pressure that had set up shop behind the passing cold front on Sunday will be reinforced by a second area of high pressure Monday night through Wednesday. This high will keep temperatures Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday below average. This reinforcement of cold air could set the stage for a winter storm that could bring accumulating snow to much of the region Wednesday night through late Thursday. As more information comes in, we will be fine-tuning the timing, precipitation type, and precipitation amounts with this mid-week storm.

I hope that the 19/20 storm threat goes out to sea. If it does, I may stay in the top 10 in the snowfall contest. If it doesn't, I may have to bribe the lawn care people AGAIN to shovel me out.
