Those are some good rainers moving SE-to-NW into southern FredCo. I got under the edge of one a little while ago in Darnestown and it was coming down! FredCo looking like a winner in this event so far
-
1 inch on the nose so far which is great! Big gradient with places just a few miles west well over 2" while just to my SE like Rockville less than 0.5. Hoping we all get some good rounds -- tomorrow afternoon sounds promising
-
This is why I wish so much for a screen in porch some day!
-
You aren't kidding! There are gonna be some impressive totals from that area - they've been getting trained for hours. I'm just now getting close to the edge of that train hoping to get under it
-
All that large hail talk trust me you do not want it! It sounds like a hundred guys pounding on your roof with sledgehammers, combined with window after window shattering. You go out after it's over in a daze looking at your dented car and broken windows everywhere. Seen it twice and hopefully never again! Got a third little shot of rain and greedily hoping for more later on
-
A welcome 0.3 so far from getting scraped by the southern edge of two cells so far. Hoping for a flush hit at some point. Had one super-close lightning strike, had to have been within a couple hundred feet
-
I just missed the heart of that nasty MontCo cell, and I am GLAD. I got approx. 0.75" hail for a few minutes so I am thinking Clarksburg got it bad. I do not like hail one bit after experiencing baseball size hail twice (Kettering, MD 1978; Orlando 1992)
-
Quick light shower that blew up to my east, which happens a lot. That's why I'm really hoping for stratiform rain because t-storms rarely work for my spot
-
These snippets from LWX make me hopeful for central MD! Some guidance indicates increased convergence between I-81 and I-95 amid increasing PWATs Saturday night, which could lead to localized higher rainfall totals. Sunday afternoon and evening. In addition, there is some potential for training of heavier showers and thunderstorms particularly east of the Blue Ridge towards I-95 where it looks like the best overlap of low-level convergence and higher PWATs will exist
-
One heck of a rain shadow out there. I have a bit of a shadow with the ridge to my west but not like that area On that qpf -- please let the Euro be right for once!
-
Another glorious day! Can't beat sunny and 75 at noon I do hope we get some extended rains early next week though -- I'll take the dreariness to get some water in the ground
-
Those qpf maps look pretty and I am hoping! April's almost over and I have just 5.7 inches on the year -- parents in Calvert have 13.5
-
Hoping to start planting soon, I checked my garden bed and it is hard as rock and dusty. I'm going to start sprinkling each day so I'm not working with concrete
-
My P&C has a tenth to a quarter inch, so using the Central MD Rainfall Formula -- taking the low end of the range and divide in half -- I should get 0.05
-
I know the drought is a big problem but man what a gorgeous day today and looking good tomorrow and Thursday. Sitting on the deck is so nice -- except for the light to moderate maple seed squalls lol Saw first hummingbird today
-
Today turned into a beauty! Sunny and 73 with light breeze
-
No choice for me - I watered even old, established shrubs as I've had just 0.64 for April, less than an inch for March, and a paltry 5.21 for the year. And no rain in sight any time soon
-
Cloudy and 78, nice for sitting out. Cumberland sporting 88 now - too much!
-
It's funny seeing Cumberland with the highest temp in the state at 84. Overcast and 72 here
-
6-10 day at 8-14 day forecasts look good on temps! Hoping we are done with frost/freeze so I can get stuff in the ground. Very dry of course - I expect to have to water all summer. I'll just water the flower beds and let the grass go
-
Wow much nicer than I thought today! Partly sunny and 70. Bonus if we can score a thunderstorm this evening
-
Wow! That's just 0.5 less than I have had since JAN 1 0.53 since April 1 and had less than 0.9 for March
-
0.30. Even my forecast of 0.5 earlier in the week was too high. My formula: take the lowest amount of the range in the official forecast and cut in half I am looking at another month of below an inch total (March was just 0.85). Oh but we excel at thick overcast, chilly and wind for days. Wife retires soon and I cannot WAIT to get out of this disgusting climate
-
Looking at radar in central VA -- pivot?
-
The really sucky part is we still endure days on end of depressing cloudy skies and chilly temps. No rain but no sun either. What an awful spring climate
