This is true lol, especially for this type of setup. It actually looks similar to some of the other storms where we're just having a difficult time getting a true nor'easter. Might have to wait until El Nino settles in...maybe next Fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for a coating to an inch this evening to give a little foundation for the main show tomorrow, but just a few stray flurries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out the models waffle exactly the same lol A good point here. Folks don't care if we get an inch vs. two inches of rain. Unless it's flooding, there's no big deal to them. Contrast that with winter when a difference of 0.25" liquid means no work/school vs. a nothingburger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I've always loved watching a low developing on radar. The blossoming has begun. It does look DC and east are favored to my weenie eye. I perfer Annopoils over Westminster. Edit: Now that the precipitation field matured a little it looks like everyone is going to get hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the frustration in your comment. I hope your backyard floods too. I mostly agree, but I would tighten the likely score zone, based on convergence of overnight guidance, to between the Bay and Rt 15. Radar evolution so far this morning suggests that this is on track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 44 minutes ago, EastCoast NPZ said: Look at that, another non-event for us western folks. The problem is that this is a small low and the moisture availability is modest at best. PWATs don’t even get close to 1”. Part of the reason why this looked like a region-wide soaker from several days back was that the two parts (wave then low) nicely hit different areas. The wave part ended up being a dud for most of us except for up by Hagerstown. I got a trace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Up in DC, just started light rain about 30mins ago. Looking at the home cam back in Calvert it's been raining raining moderately there all morning. Definitely good rain for the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 We're starting to see the creeks running and standing water. I think the south river watershed area is going to get some water backing up. I'm headed into Bacon Ridge this afternoon to document the conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a long, drought-stricken summer with expensive water bills with all the sprinkling SoMD and Eastern shore were epicenter of the drought last year but that definitely seems to have shifted. I'm not complaining, my caterpillars don't do well in drought due to low leaf water content. Earlier I thought you might get a good rain band into Germantown but it seems to be drying up as it reaches you. Hopefully you get something out of this!
