aldie 22 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Radar is a big tease for back here...models say we get some love but the way the moisture is moving from SE to NW....gives me one of those yucky feelings...we will see...just got done mowing the weeds and the dirt so we are good to go back here in podunkville Yeah this first wave is definitely going to scoot just to the South...probably tickle Leesburgs little bottom as it skirts on by....H2O should make out ok though...

Stormpc Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Finally got a good soaker with this first band. .52 and raining lightly. Came down at a moderate pace for 2.5 hours. Really slackened in intensity area wide. I had to look twice to see if LWX changed the viewing mode because all of the yellows over us evaporated into light greens within 2 radar passes.

MN Transplant Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Radar quality decreased quite a bit as the band moved north. Light here now... This sys isn't going anywhere fast -- so wouldn't worry too much about not getting anything etc. 0.02" so far. With the orientation of the system, it looks like we are going to want to be in one of those bands this evening to score anything worthwhile.

FXW176 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This was much more impressive during my drive back from OBX this morn. Although it's now too wet to mow so I gotta give it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 pathetic. but at least the day has grown progressivley cooler. downright uncomfortable this AM. 78 and very muggy at 8:30 AM. Temp down to 72 now, but nary a sprinkle. watching that slug of moisture down south split apart and go south and dry up over central VA and east over the bay is comical.

Kmlwx Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 SLightly OT - but is anybody else around here hearing way more planes flying over than usual? Maybe it's just me. They also seem louder than normal and longer lasting rumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
