kgottwald Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 When trying to decide whether I need to bring my umbrella today, I check the NWS forecast for Fairfax County inside the beltway: "Scattered showers after 2 p.m." Then I check the AFD: "Some shower activity is likely to develop today, particularly west of U.S. 15 where scattered showers are in the forecast. . . . High-resolution models bring scattered showers toward the I-95 corridor just after sundown." I didn't know where the heck US 15 is (why can't they use placenames instead of highways??) so I check the map and see it's way out past Leesburg! So the forecast and the discussion are mutually contradictory. I'll chance leaving the umbrella at home, because when I haul that thing around all day and not a drop of rain falls, I feel like I've been made a fool of.

BlizzardNole Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 My P&C has a tenth to a quarter inch, so using the Central MD Rainfall Formula -- taking the low end of the range and divide in half -- I should get 0.05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 12z mesos have showers late morning/early afternoon tomorrow a bit more widespread? Plus the late evening activity today. Hoping for that SE HoCo bullseye shown on 12z hrrr and 3k NAM… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US 15 Runs from the VA/NC border through Warrenton up through Leesburg and Frederick MD and into PA into Harrisburg and beyond I believe. It is the way I get into VA from Frederick. And I take it up to take my youngest to college in PA. So the line that just went through Frederick started just west of US 15 and is now headed towards the I95 corridor.

IronTy Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I woke up sometimes in the night and it was raining pretty hard in Calvert, then a couple hours later I woke up again and it was still raining. Must've gotten a decent amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
