Like I said, the County south of mine got 10 inches yesterday and it was just a rainy day.

Was going moderately hard there for a bit. Pretty much stopped again now. Might go check the mail.

LOL - troglodytic meanderings and hope your mail carrier isn't hoarding yours. Hope you're set with tp, milk and white bread with refined flour. :slytf:

Honestly the weather was worse yesterday.

Hopefully,it stays that way. Perhaps i won''t be in for another five hour delay on Sunday.

On Wednesday, forecasters feared that Tropical Storm Hermine would hug the East Coast and ruin part of the Labor Day weekend for D.C. and Baltimore. The forecast has changed and the holiday weekend may not be so bad after all.

It now appears likely that the Hermine will track far enough off the East Coast to spare the Interstate 95 corridor the storm’s worst. A graze is most likely and a total miss is possible.

But coastal areas from the North Carolina Outer Banks to the Jersey shore may well get slammed. Heavy rain, strong winds and dangerous surf are likely, with forecast confidence high for the Carolina Outer Banks but just moderate for the Delmarva beaches.

It’s important to recognize that the track of Hermine is still in flux and changes could still have meaningful implications for the entire region. Everyone should continue to monitor forecasts and have a Plan B, whether it’s for outdoor activities in the D.C.-Baltimore area or plans to head to the Atlantic beaches.

The Interstate 95 corridor, including D.C. and Baltimore, are no longer in the National Hurricane Center’s “cone of uncertainty” for Hermine, which means the likelihood of experiencing tropical storm conditions are small.

Many models now simulate little rainfall for the region, but we can’t necessarily bank on dry conditions. The storm center may come close enough such that showers sweep through the area Saturday, especially east of Interstate 95 towards the Chesapeake Bay. Even some heavier rain could develop in these eastern areas, including places like Annapolis and especially over the Delmarva.

Literally takes 2 days for it to make it from VA/NC border to Long Island.

Yea theres a high pressure sitting off the canadian maritimes which will act as a block and keep the storm off the mid atlantic longer then usual. Question is how far offshore it will be

We shall see.

The Virginia beaches would deal with similar impacts Friday night to midday Saturday, while the Delmarva catches the brunt of the storm during the day Saturday, possibly continuing Saturday night or even into Sunday morning.

In this scenario, coastal flooding could close roads, and travel to/from the beaches, at least for a time, may be discouraged or impossible.

Areas as far west as the Interstate-95 corridor (Richmond, Washington, Baltimore) and even to the Interstate-81 corridor could have a period of moderate to heavy rain and some strong winds mostly during the day Saturday. Some models suggest the storm could stall close to the area, keeping rain around into Sunday.

It's a beautiful evening in the Baltimore area. Puffy white clouds, temperate weather, barely any breeze
