12z GFS showing a nice bit of rain for MD. Looking forward to it. We've had such great weather that we've spent all our time outside. But now that it's so dry, I think a soaking rain would be a good thing -- time to clean the house!

Looks like HPC pulled the trigger on forecasting a big rain event: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/95e12p48iwbg_fill .gif

We have some rain and possibly ice pellets in our weekend forecast. I guess it is April!
