And 18z goes back east. Haven’t heard about 18z euro. Good thing this isn’t snow or we’d be going nuts.

All the mesos, CMC, ICON now have a pretty sharp cutoff along I-95 as the Euro has been advertising. 6z GFS still has some decent rain(0.2 - 0.3") northwest of there.

Nothing here so far, but that batch moving in from the south looks to probably just clip me.

Looks pretty dry west of DC this morning. Rain just starting here in the jungle. I'm sure I'll somehow manage 2" of rain today.

[leesburg 04]

Looks like another day of tanning out here in the burg

[BlizzardNole]

All the rain missing to the east.  Gee what a shock!

[Weather Will]

WB 6z GFS Day 11.  GEFS not as impressed but something to keep an eye on rather than the lack of rain...GFS actually shows digital snow east of the mountains.

This seems like it’s going to be yet another overperformer IMBY. LWX called for 1/2” of rain today and we just blew right past that with no end in sight. If we can just hold this pattern for a few more weeks... 

[CAPE]

Moderate rain and 54 here.

0.45" so far.

[JakkelWx]

At least it'll be clear skies by morning tomorrow. Perfect day with temps in the upper 50s-low 60s and low humidity. The bomb dot com.

Saw something strange in the sky last night (bad photo I know - upper band in this is the lower band, ignore cloud below) in Royal Oak MD, photo taken facing west.  Went outside after dinner, probably a little after 8 pm and saw what looked like 2 contrails, one right above the other. Lower was more dense and above one lighter and taller (didn’t show up in photo). Then we noticed that they never moved/drifted. Went out to dock to a get a better view and saw that each kept its shape/density and seemed to curve like a halo from each edge of horizon. It finally all faded after about 2 hours. Any one have any ideas as to what this could have been?

If this were winter, people would be melting down. What a cutoff.

[SnowtoRain]

1.0", moderate rain

Over colder rain and mud? Lol

There were two airliners that put out chemtrails right around sunset, going in a slight SE to NW direction, and the contrails stuck around for a while.  I noted how close they were together (or at least how close they looked from my spot on land) and how the timing wasn't that far apart from the appearance of one plane to the next because with the reduction in overseas air travel I don't see them go by at that altitude as often as they used to.

(I saw them as they were going past DC to the north)

Contrails or chemtrails?

[WxUSAF]

The globals all spitting out some interesting solutions near D10 with possible tropical systems and early season cold air.

Looks like a black hole on the afternoon GFS.

I just edited that post so I'll just add this one to say that yeah, I'm an idiot.

From Met Walt Drag

A fair amount of discussion about the 25th-26th...  am considering a topic since it's amped with potential,  but that this could still easily be a marine storm once past FL.  I'd like to see more ensemble agreement on a storm up the coast, supported by 30% or greater prob for 2"+ along the E Coast. If that were to occur, it's probably a few days off but imo, little doubt (in my mind) the models are onto two more tropical systems 19th-26th in the W ATLC. One other thing...while most of the debate is about 1) whether a storm, and then 2) either out to sea or up the coast... I can visualize jet stream pattern adjustments that permit E GMEX and northward up the W side of Apps.  Just very-very-very early.

I think Epsilon may get named within 48 hrs. Am posting on tropical page a couple of graphics.  It probably won't a direct influence on our area except for swells... however, its eventual development may strengthen the WAR, and provide an even more favorable flow pattern for the 25tth-26th?  We'll see, Post goes up by 525PM, unless it's already done there by a tropics poster.

In Sykesville for baseball and there’s a gorgeous sunset.

1.33" today.

Might be another quick shot of rain tonight with that sharp shortwave moving through.

Yeah, 33 has been the coldest low so far. Forecast is upper 20s to low 30s in the county tonight. 
multiple frosts but first widespread freeze tonight (freeze warning for Cumberland/west).

42 here this morning.

Should see some scattered frost tomorrow morning.

Appears that we go rain free for the next 7 days with moderating temperatures and beautiful weather for late October.

I'll take it.

Just about at 3" for the month so far, which is actually dry compared to the previous 3 months.

[losetoa6]

32 with frost.  4th or 5th frost so far 

[midatlanticweather]

34 degrees with frost this morning
