Happy hour has officially begun. Let’s bring this home! @Scraff and I are here if anyone is around and wants to geek out.

When the weather babes swarm you guys, can you send pics???

Real serious radar returns. Unless it’s moving over 60mph I don’t see a mere 4 hours. Well may be 4 hours of 0.5”+ with 2 hours if 1-2”ph but not started and done in 4 

Eyes now shift off  models and onto precip mass to our west to monitor hourly precipitation intensity .

I think so.  You for sure.  I could see you doubling my total.  I might get stuck at like 34 for a while.  

I think we get a 50% evap  in this so I’m thinking at 8pm DCA is 44 with a dew  point of 18 so when 90% rh  and snowing steadily temp is 31/32 and Kemp Mill  30/31

Lets see

its going to be best obs  thread in a while. Not the torture of 3am and 38F and waiting on rain changing to snow

Radar is looking tasty though

Let me ask about the streaming from off TX gulf coast. Is any of the moisture of other benefit of that going to mix in with the clipper?

Surprised there’s not more panic about the north trend. The wiggle room for dc is gone. 

Take meds now

I thought you were joking as I was giving my obs. That is crazy the temp jump

Johnstown PA had back to back hourlies of gusts to 51 several hours ago

Wow.  Front passed through here and temp shot up to 51°.  Compressional heating on a 35 mph west wind.

Hagerstown jumped from 42 to 49

4-6 hour event.  0.30-0.35 qpf is a good bet for us.  I'd go no higher than 12:1 because we might burn a little on rain/mix at the beginning, and temps will be borderline.  I'd probably go 3-4" for you. 2-3" for me with my surface temp issues.

I’m reading it’s 4 hour pass thru right over my shed as 0.7. 1.9. 1.5 0.5 so I see now
