Jebman Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 so we got a BRIEF, BRIEF heavy shower, lasted maybe a minute. Then just light drizzle. At least the pavement is 100 percent wet for the 1st time in fraggin' WEEKS! LWX NWS - BE MORE PRECISE with your discussions! "The LWX CWA will be in the right entrance region of a jet streak to the north" Radar is evidencing that MARYLAND is getting most of the heavy rain rates. VIRGINIA is NOT in the same region and we are getting MUCH LIGHTER RATES!!!!! Go the hell back to met school LWX NWS office!! You need it badly! Dale City will get a QUARTER INCH of rain at best thru tonight! Maryland will get 1 to 4 inches of much needed rain! Your forecast should read, Virginia east of the Mtns will get a quarter of an inch of rain; in the District and north will get 1 to as much as 4 inches of rain. Get your shyte together LWX NWS. Shape up or ship the hell out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fed the fvck up with these microscopic amounts of rain! See this nonsense that was posted by the NWS at 1037am this morning? https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LWX&issuedby=LWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=6&glossary=1&highlight=off This cold front will cross the area this afternoon (evening for southern MD). A plume of precipitable water up to 2 inches is ahead of this cold front with values increasing through the afternoon. The progression of this front will increase through the day as an upper trough approaches from the west. The LWX CWA will be in the right entrance region of a jet streak to the north, enhancing upper level difluence and maximizing rain rates. Limiting factors to flash flooding are dry antecedent conditions of the past two weeks and relative fast progression/movement of frontal zone and fcst individual storm cell motion of around 35 kt. On the other hand, unidirectional wind profiles indicate potential for training convection while exceptionally high PWATS, very high 850 ThetaE values and K indices will support intense rainfall rates capable of producing 2-4 inches of rain in a short period of time. What we are beginning to see here in northern Virginia is a pattern I see all the time in Austin Texas. You read AFDs like this all the time for KEWX which is the AUSTIN cwa, and then it is drier than a popcorn fart over and over and over again. thats NORMAL for them, that is a semi arid region. We did get a brief heavy shower for maybe all of 45 seconds, IT DID NOT EVEN GET THE ROAD UNDER MY TREES WET!!! What is this place turning into, El Paso, Texas????? But this crap happening over and over again HERE IN NORTH VA is out of line. Dale City is in a drought situation. This is the THIRD GD system that has hit us and we got microscopic amounts of rain!!!!! Thats not even enough water to sustain a MOUSE!!! NWS should know better. Thats your third gddamned strike, NWS, in a damned row!!!! In baseball you'd get your ass chewed out by the coach!!! I am getting sick and tired of these HYPED UP AFDs by KLWX!!!!!!! Please KLWX, please do NOT hype up the AFDs so much. Please take them down about three notches! The weather here in Dale City is becoming a horrifically CRUEL JOKE. At this rate, by September every lawn will be crunchy brown and many trees will be DEAD! I'll be using creek beds as trails!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think we came in a little shy of 0.5" yesterday. Not horrible, but we could have used a bit more given the fairly hot, dry conditions as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We ended up getting .11" last evening with a double rainbow bonus. Puts the monthly tally at 1.08". It's disappointing reading the trends in the tropical thread, but somehow, someway, I still believe we will get a good soaker before we finish the month. Also, happy summer!! I'll take mornings like this right up until September, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Past two nights, storms worked their way through during my evening walk. Today the cloud structure was pretty but the storm weakened and only got a couple rain drops. Ship approaching the incoming storm tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hold your Breath, cross your fingers, Pray HARD to the Goddesses of Weather and Meteorology to please have unwarranted Mercy on North Virginia and on Dale City, to please grant us some heavy rain!

Jebman Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, the rain is drying out as it reaches us. What kind of a cruel joke is this? There is zero hope for us. No doubt about it now. We're in a drought. We're cursed. Everything is missing us - except the damn drought. Ha ha ha National Weather Service, You have me progged for an 80 percent chance of showers in the overnight - What a friggin JOKE! We are Down and we are OUT - We are totally out of luck. We have now struck out FOUR TIMES! We can't buy a shower with infinite amounts of money, we are absolutely cursed. Everything will die in eastern Prince William County and we will all have to be evacuated. All the ponds and creeks will PARCH, all of the trees will die and all lawns will be DEAD. Forever. Its like someone built a WALL around Eastern Prince William County on June 1 and ever since then, NOTHING can get in - EXCEPT THIS ACCURSED DROUGHT!!!!! A category 5 hurricane could strike Dale City head on, and I bet we'd be high and dry, but blasted by strong winds. Nothing in heaven or earth can help us now, we are going to dry up and blow away.
