dailylurker Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I forget what it's like to have a rainy day where we get like 1.50". It's been since last fall if I remember correctly. All we get these days is a shower or sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTy Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Another day, another forecast bust by the pros. Local mesonet says 0.01". I got more than that in my yard but still not enough to even soak through the leaf layer on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Isn't there a rule at NWS to be very, very conservative when predicting rain during a drought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 0.05 total and less than a tenth combined with last weeks "rain event." I'm about ready to just give up on trying to get a new yard going. I don't expect any real rain until probably the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Caught a glimpse of some kelvin-helmholtz clouds this morning. Always neat to see, since they seem to dissappear so quickly. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Started to rain around 12:30 last night so I checked the radar. Huge red blob in southern Fairfax/PW counties. Northwestern tip of it touching I66 in western Fairfax. I only got light rain and one distant rumble of thunder. It looked like the blob might hit DCA but checking this morning, they just got a few hundredths too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, felt like a lucky night - that it happened overnight was good too because it allowed it to soak in better instead of the sun baking it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 DPs in the mid-30s at the airports and mid-30s to near 40 on the mesonet. Makes for a pleasant day outside, but certainty doesn't help the dryness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulf of Mexico has had basically no influence on our weather for like 3 years now. I haven't been tracking things much lately, but at minimum we need to start getting tropical remnants back in this area by Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
