snowfan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Euro showing storms entering the area early afternoon and then multiple guidance showing storms as we head into the late evening. For tomorrow, it appears there’s a chance the afternoon is more dry than wet so might be able to salvage some time outdoors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course things could change locally with heavier storms. Feels like a summer morning out there already with temp of 72 and DP of 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro mid range high QPF thing seems to be real and I wonder if it's a result of a recent tweak or software update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Nice little storm moving through Loudoun. Bit of wind, some pea sized hail, heavy rain, and a few claps of thunder. Hopefully just the start of a stormy stretch for the area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro not good at times. I have not looked at the latest run. Meanwhil,e the WPC has trimmed back rainfall totals even more in its latest update, especially the Tidewater region. when you look at your local forecast and see odds of rain at 70 % equaling a tenth of an inch, pretty sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I just missed the heart of that nasty MontCo cell, and I am GLAD. I got approx. 0.75" hail for a few minutes so I am thinking Clarksburg got it bad. I do not like hail one bit after experiencing baseball size hail twice (Kettering, MD 1978; Orlando 1992) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
