"One dot rain"
That's how a forecaster in Ohio described the precipitation seen there from the weather system that's headed our way today. Sprinkle warnings, if they existed, would be posted today across the region, for one dot of rain is about all we'll see from this thing.
"Frankly, I think a lot of the area will see nothing beyond enhanced cloud cover," said NWS forecaster Andy Woodcock, in his morning forecast discussion from Sterling.
I did spot a few rain dots on my windshield on the way in this morning. One swipe of the wipers and they were gone. Here's the forecast. Tomorrow looks better - sunshine and highs near 80 degrees. But then things slide down hill, with more showers possible Friday and Saturday before the outlook improves. We could use the rain, of course. Stream flows in Central Maryland are slipping back into the red.
Tide levels, meanwhile are subsiding, apparently without any of the predicted minor flooding, Woodcock said. Click here and then click on MD for a look at current bay tide levels. They're still above predicted tides, but falling.
