Ian Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Don't know about your area exactly, but I doubt that last Aug and Sept come anywhere near this year. At least in my area. Given Aug rainfall was highest in decades for DC/Balt yeah... But Sept ended with massive rain last ur http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2010/10/baltimore_breaks_single-day_se.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Heavy yellow band setting up to our west Should keep us out of the worst - trends show yellow band will annihilate west of us all night into tomorrow - feel real sorry for those communities Thank goodness - I am having a lot of trouble trying to keep up with the lawn - It's a jungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 We're on the west side of the front, so we're not getting any heavy rains or t-storms, but we're getting a steady, moderate rain. Temps dropped from the low 70s this afternoon to the low 60s when the rain moved in, ushered in with some gust NW winds. 58F currently. sump is running about every 12 minutes now House beside me has been vacant for the last 2 months, as the owner moved out of state, and hasn't rented or sold it yet. When she left I told her to leave that power on for the sump pump. Lo and behold, they turned it off less than two weeks ago. She dodged a bullet with Irene mostly missing us, but this time??

CranberryWX Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 A dry gap in the precip is moving through central WV. Holding at 2.03" total since the startup. More rain will be moving in shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 LWX seems to believe there may be a chance for some tornadoes up here Tuesday or Wednesday... and mentions 7 to 10 inches of rain. I am guessing that's for west of the BR... but wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that's for west of the BR... but wow I mentioned Wed earlier. The 500mb setup is decent. I'm not really up on where the front would be tho as I've mainly been iPhoneing the last 5 days.

TradeWinds Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 That looks to be major training in MoCo/Howard/Carroll. Glad the rain is light here...ground is so dry and hard that it gives it time to soak in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really up on where the front would be tho as I've mainly been iPhoneing the last 5 days. Glanced at NAM. Yeah I still like Wed better. Tomorrow the front may sag too far south. If it pops north on Wed with a closed 500 low to the west there could be some action. Probably fairly conditional but worth watching for sure if you like weak rain wrapped tornadoes.

Jebman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 FROPA. Temps and DPs dropped about 7 degrees. NNW wind gust to 21 mph Noticeably cooler outside. Rain is picking up. Three quarters in the bucket so far. Good news so far is our totals are lagging. Hopefully we won't get waterboarded like the mountains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 That looks to be major training in MoCo/Howard/Carroll. Glad the rain is light here...ground is so dry and hard that it gives it time to soak in. Moderate to heavy rain has been training over western Howard County for the last 2 hours. The "train" extends well back into west/central VA. No doubt that flash flooding is occurring in parts of Montgomery and Howard Counties.

H2O Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I listened to decent rains last night and woke up to light rain and drizzle. I don't need 6" of rain to be happy with this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Event total at 2.39". Some moderate rain moved through last couple of hours, but it is over for a while looking at radar. Most of the steady, heavier rain has moved north into Ohio and PA. Looks like only scattered stuff coming up from the south for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Went to bed at 11 or so last night with the rain starting to come down pretty good. Anyone know about how long that moderate rain lasted in Fairfax County? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 1.22" at the nearby personal wx station so far from this event. Cloud cover really accentuates the shortening days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just shy of an inch and a half. Emptied the rain gauge out yesterday morning. 61 with 52% humidity, light rain off and on with drizzle. Heard at school this morning that some moderate flooding is occurring around Frederick Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
