0.86 yesterday. Nice lightning and Thunder - a double rainbow... was good. The lawn was mowed 30 minutes before the unload and looks so nice today! :)

 

I mowed Saturday evening in anticipation....was getting a bit nervous when that first line barely dropped any here....second line came through big time....grass trees and shrubs are all smiling this morning :)

I feel like post-cell stratiform rain usually does well around these parts.

We do well with CAPE that's elevated in these parts. Given the increased amount of urban infrastructure, the nocturnal stratiform rain is better for the waterways. Less thermal shock, less chance of flash flooding.

Getting the feeling we are going to be wetter from this southern system than what we first thought. Trending north a bit. We shall see! 

 

For the past few years it seems the axis is heavy precip from summertime mid latitude cyclones has been to trend further north and east in the 12-24 hours leading up to the event.

Model war for Memorial Day weekend. GFS cuts off the low and spins over us with cool rain. Euro and GGEM clear it out for a gorgeous weekend.

I was about to come over here and mention the same. Let's hope the GFS is messed up! It kind of looks unsettled on most of that run for the east.

There won't be much in the way of appreciable rain from DC points N and NE. A tenth to a quarter inch is possible. That sprawling high to the north is no joke. Different story for places S and SW esp into central and southern VA.

NAM and Euro both have MBY at or above 0.5” overnight. I’m skeptical…

Yeah given the modest nature of the southern wave moving into a strengthening High, I think the GFS depiction makes more sense.

If this was winter though, I’d be hugging the 18z 3k NAM until it popped.

58 with just over a tenth of an inch of rain overnight. Light showers continue. GFS had the right idea- as expected the weak low struggles to get appreciable rain north of VA against the strengthening high to the NE.

All hail King GFS!

Speaking of The King, Euro made a huge jump to the GFS idea of a crappy weekend unfortunately.

Yeah the trends overnight were towards a less progressive idea. Both the Euro and CMC moved towards the GFS depiction.

define crappy please
