Northern weather

Hunkered down here, under tornado warnings. From radar, looks like it will pass a few miles west of here. Okay by me...

Saw that path on the maps a while ago. Still nothing but some light rain here.

Interesting. We had the exact same thing today in southeast Georgia.

Dodged the bullet...nearly everything, except one burst of heavy rain, passed well to our west. Around 2AM we got nearly an inch of rain in a span of ten minutes.

Got lucky!

We got a lot of nothing; these fronts seem to split up west of us and we get by-passed.

My theory is that, a times, it is the Appalachians that shred storms moving eastward from the Midwest into less volatile events.

I would agree with you, Murph. In Maryland the Alleghenies tend to be the bulwark, starting with Sideling Hill and pushing west. The Blue Ridge, here formed by Catoctin and South Mountains, not so much. Weather that makes it into the Cumberland Valley is not contained by the upper end of the Blue Ridge...we in north-central Maryland tend to get the same batch of weather that pushes northeast into the Cumberland Valley and, in our case, the upper end of the Piedmont. If the storm is moving west-to-east, maybe the Blue Ridge breaks it up a bit, but the bulk of the weather here seems to move on a northeasterly bent.

5 pm. Friday rain on and off till sat. am. 50/50 clouds sat. Sat. night rain through till Sunday night. It's the same forecast for the last 2 months.

Latest episode of "global-drowning" passed through last night...got 1.5" of rain in about 25 minutes. After last year, I'm beginning to come around to the idea this is the new normal. Mow, the sun come out, eat something, then it's time to mow again, lol.

Yesterday was a long steady and at times hard rain for many hours here. Day before we had that torrential 30-45" storm. Humidity and heat go back up and it's on repeat for today.

Changed the blades on the mower and maybe I'll go out and cut the front later today...........or not.

My yew bushes are turning brown. They cant handle the last 12 months of wet feet.

Almost five inches last night.

Water-wings and man the pumps!

Almost four inches of rain here in the last 18 hours...not enough scrap lumber on-hand to start an ark. Looks worse around DC...you on the roof yet Rufus?

Not very bad where I am - I understand that some northern sections of Arlington are bad - cars under water, etc. Trees down into the Beltway; jack-knifed truck on the MD bit of the Beltway only backed up 8-10 miles.

Minor compared to the Bay Bridge on a Sunday evening.

My brother says his car is parked on the third level of a parking garage in Frederick...says he's nervous.
