Saturday 6/27 drought reliever

[dailylurker]

It looks like a front will be stalling over our area late Friday afternoon and low pressure in the Midwest moves along the front and into the area. It looks like a slow mover. It could be a long duration, beneficial rain event. Let's talk about it here.

WB 6Z EURO has heavy rain moving through on Saturday.

That needs to shift south by about a hundred miles

LOL, I think everybody would be happy if it just EXPANDED 75-100 miles to the south. A good 2-3" soaker would do a lot of good for most of us.

We'll see.  Yesterday afternoon looked great on paper with LWX highlighting Calvert and St. Mary's for heavy rain potential, and I got a quarter inch.  My area has a departure of -8 inches for the year and would need rainfall of 150% to 200% of normal for four straight months to recover.

Have an event Saturday morning at the National Zoo. Hoping this is delayed a day.

I’ve seen that image before. I’ll expect the under.

I would like to see the airshow in Baltimore on Sunday and go to the National Zoo on Saturday.  I vote for delaying it two days!

given recent tendencies, sounds like that means sprinkles Saturday and actual rain Sunday

I would hope that north/south/east and west all get a good soaking...................  

The extended  NWS slows the front down because Sterling increased my POP on Sunday from 30% to 60%.

WPC increased 7 day totals

Excerpt from latest Sterling NWS discussion.  They should use this line for every event....  

 

In short, it is a very complex forecast situation, so
stay tuned to the latest forecast for updates as we get to look
at more data.

Unfortunately, I'm on the extreme south edge of that.
