CAPE Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ended up with 0.85" in that storm today. With a stalled front in the area and a juicy air mass, should be more chances for showers and storms tonight and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Stalled front is cool. Best to be on the LEFT side of it. Driving down to my place in North Carolina the temperature on the car thermometer went up nearly 20 degrees into the low-90s just east of Richmond down to it Williamsburg for a while. I'm on the nasty humidity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The wettest month in Washington DC history was September 1934 with 17.45" of rain. I assume this had something to do with a hurricane. Washington is already above 5" for this month, with Hurricane Florence on the way. Could Washington DC make a run for the wettest month in history? Could they make a run for the wettest year in history? I hope not, for the sake of all of the millions of people in the Mid Atlantic who have already had floods affect their communities this year. Currently Washington is not too far from the wettest January 1st - September 10th of all time. (45.9" vs 49.5") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 MRB set new daily low max-temp records on Sunday (60) and Monday (62.). Previous records for both days was 65, in 1957 (9th) and 1967 (10th.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 1.76" overnight. Must have been a very localized event, with MRB around 0.50" and HGR barely 0.10". Rural roads, farm fields and yards all under water this morning. 7.00" now for September, the 5th consecutive month above 7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point we are going to pay for this wet pattern. My guess is starting in december.... Hopefully, it turns dry for Oct and Nov before reigniting, but with our luck..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 6 of the last 9 Octobers have been above normal for precip. I would like to see this reversed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 GFS keeps teasing Canadian high pressure over us D10+, but it isn’t getting nearer with time. This has got to be one of the worst and most persistent weather patterns I can recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous that we can't even get a transient shot of Canadian continental air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 This is the longest summer ever. I think we had 2 days of cooler weather a week or so ago but I don't really remember. Its October in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see nothing to cool them anytime soon, maybe just the seasonal decline of solar. Might be thinking this October we could have an East Coast hurricane threat , not out of the question based on the SSTs and progression of rising air over the Atlantic in a few weeks. https://www.swellinfo.com/surf-forecast/atlantic-city-new-jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 After the 21st of September, the 15 day TWC forecast has my area getting only into the mid-upper 70s. Think pattern change starts around the first day of fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are mid 80s, then there will be 90f in the forecast area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 After the remnants of Flo and the cold front pass through the region, mid to late week looks pretty nice with lower dew points and somewhat cooler temps. Looks like low 60s for lows and around 80 for a high on Thursday. Temps wont be much different, but with a drier air mass, low 80s with low dews and sunny will feel a lot nicer than mostly cloudy, low 80s, with high humidity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 There has only been one month where MRB recorded double-digit precip amounts: October 1942 at 10.38". Depending on how tomorrow goes, I might have a shot at 10" this month in my yard. Currently at 7.15". The 9.05" I recorded in August would have been the 10th all-time wettest month vs Martinsburg's records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to 312hr before we see 850s below 15-18C. Not seeing any pattern change anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the Atlantic warm SSTs were left mainly untouched because of the way Florence moved in over the SE . Going to take a while I believe to transition to real Fall,. and when it does there is always the potential of a shorter Fall and a quicker start to winter . That may sound silly but you never know, but if that is going to be the case we would need to see signs in October and a step down pattern on the long range models.

I dont know about winter (but always bet on fail around here) but fall will definitely be short. We've been robbed of any early fall weather this month. At best, we are waiting another another 13 days and that takes us almost the entirety of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't go with met seasons, Sept is predominately a summer month. And it works better for here. Just getting it to be 'less hot' for most of the month is a win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think this weekend's weather has been great. I have the AC off, the windows open, and the ceiling fans are creating a gentle breeze throughout the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
