I have this hanging in my place...confounds people when they look at it as it is hard to read a map with this orientation as well as minimizing many of the big LSV cities. I find that focusing on the M/D line helps me with orientation a bit when looking at it. I love old man winter blowing winds from the NE and South.
I doubt it being on the line between D1 and D0 last time, but the area is bigger than 2020. Most of Central MD especially to my South and Southeast are in the same boat. Some of them were D2 last week.
Those 2-4" progs North of Harrisburg would cause flooding with the amounts of rain they have already had. Think you will still be in a drought (D0) on the map this AM? I think D1 for my area though it is really D2 or D3 within my small area. I am over 10" behind for the year now. 2-3" behind for June and July alone.
I hate when we cannot trust radar. The dbz's over maytown were fairly impressive. But the radar illusions/issues have been more than just a few times recently.
Since it was pointed out that the Euro had a right call the other day I just checked it and it suggests Lanco get their FFW's going. It's training time as the front stalls in East PA early Friday AM. A very small amount of that in most of Lanco is today, most Friday AM.
12Z Nooner Model parsing suggests Thursday night is looking lean outside NE PA. Globals show LSV rain but the meso's (except Fv3) tell the true story of the energy currently being progged to focus more North of the LSV area.
Had a quick hitting, small cell go right over us to the tune of close .2". Largest rain in 10 days. 3.05" now in the last 40ish days. Looks like a lot of the central part of Lanco got smashed when that same small cell turned into a large complex.... with some over 1" totals on WU. Every bit counts when looking at the GFS for the next 2 weeks.
Every model except the GFS and Fv3 shows rain for some of the LSV tonight. Weird to remove it. The Nam, not on a hot streak, drops 1" in Lanco. Even Dr No has LSV rain. The 3K suggest FFW's should be posted with near 2" in some locations.
