we do sunshine before storms fairly well here (similar to the sunshine we get instead of the digital snow we get 5 days out), so i'm in.
-
just a rainer so far through olney. not much wind to speak of. that cell north of glenmont got the warning, but might skirt south of me.
-
The cell moving through the 270 split looks intriguing. Of course, I’m not there at the moment.
-
No lightning showing up with these at all. I get the impression there just isn’t enough instability up this way, but we’ll see.
-
Radar looks interesting for round 2.
-
just rain through olney (in regards to the cell that just moved through). no thunder to speak of.
-
i'm generalizing, but i always feel like our best severe events are preceded by sunshine, light winds...basically the calm before the storm. i don't know why that is, but it seems to hold true for a lot of potential setups. i don't like seeing clouds or breezy conditions before what's supposed to be severe storm chances. not saying we can't do severe without typical summer day conditions, but we really need things to destabilize and/or have a nice vort pass to get anything interesting here it seems.
-
getting some decent downpours now, but no real storminess. i'm all in for round 2.
-
definitely an underperformer with the first round. rain seems even lighter than radar depictions. i think it's up to round 2 to deliver. might need some breaks in the clouds to make this happen.

i pretty much stopped using cod because it only occasionally loads on my iphone. need to switch it from lte to wifi, or vice versa. i use weatherbug the most now. i downloaded noaa radar pro, but the loops are too short and it's choppy in general, though maybe i'm doing something wrong. i never cared much because cod was always reliable, but i may need to check out this radarscope situation.

today is a reminder that we get epic busts in warm weather season as well. forecast called for showers and i don't think i received a drop of rain imby. imagine if the forecast was for snow.
-
looks like another band forming and headed towards mby.
-
8.5" here, unoffically.
-
This is overperforming like some of our recent rainers. Double digits are in play if these rates continue for a couple more hours.
-
That was a top shelf snow shower. Lightened a bit the last few minutes but it had to have dropped a quick inch.
-
Dumping
-
Accumulating everywhere. Moderate snow.
-
Cloud deck should be lowering again per wv loop. Think it’s go time for the next round.
-
Steady with dendrites here.
-
yea, i've already called it a storm lol, though a couple more inches would make me call this a round. very good storm for this area and it's only jan 13.
-
well hopefully everyone can get in on the action. it's pretty clear at this point there's re-enhancement going on of the precip, but rates n/w of 95 are tbd. dendrites have reappeared imby, but it's not moderate which will probably be needed to get to those 2-3" totals.
-
yea, i could be wishcasting a bit, but we've had a couple of rainers overperform as well. 3" would be pretty legit, though. i would take that and call it a storm.
-
you can see the squeeze play going on and i think we're in a pretty decent spot for it. http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/SAT_US/animwv.html

just got back from a nice little hike through cabin john. outstanding scenery. 5.5" was about the average. round 2 or 3 or whatever it is at this point looks very appealing at the moment. not sure how far north and west is goes, but can't underestimate a mild atlantic. should be interesting to see how much moisture can get thrown back here.
-
Around 5.5” here.
