  1. Dewpoints really crashing fast behind this front. Tomorrow could be interesting.
  2. Tides, weather, unexpected events popping up. That's a safe estimate. There's no way they're going to work at night.
  3. I think the Orioles are good.
  4. Sneaky wildfire risk west of I-81 this afternoon and tomorrow.
  5. Both the HRRR and NAM nudged east overnight, and they may be a bit too far west based off recent radar and satellite trends. The surface winds on the ASOS and mesonet stations are all northwest, which would reinforce the belief the system is a bit east of the original forecast. It's probably going to be an iffy opening day, but the Orioles could get the game in.
  6. M5.08" for the month. RSTM2 COOP.
  7. Yup. Mods don't care about the little guy.
  8. New site to bookmark as we approach hurricane season
  9. The bridge will be rebuilt. Hazmat can't navigate the harbor tunnel, so bulk carriers frequently used the FSK bridge. If this were converted to a tunnel, then it would cause even more of a choke point for logistical movement of hazmat commodities coming from Curtis Bay refineries and warehouses.
  10. Couple of key points: Ship appears to have lost power twice within 30 minutes of departing the port of Baltimore. Pilot on ship immediately called coast guard, declared may day, and advised bridge be shut down. You can see this on the video where traffic appears to stop suddenly. This occurred less than 7 minutes before impact. Police shut down both directions of the bridge as soon as they could. For context, about 32,000 cars traverse the structure each day. Had this been even 4:30 or 5:00 am it would have been a totally different scenario
  11. The 4am wake up call for that was surreal. Weather isn't going to cooperate too much after tonight, with possible coastal flooding, rain, low ceilings, and wind.
  12. Good point. Maybe the models haven't taken this into account? /s
  13. Our Lenten Rose's have finally come into their own. Amazing sustained blooms.
