One more moderate shower rolling through.... 1.25 since Friday.

I know 2 couples who have just bought places in The Villages. I can’t think of a worse spot in FL, well maybe in the deep interior panhandle.

But that's climatology. There are certain models that depict warm front movement very well, and none of them today had it getting nearly as far northeast as DC. The only model that had good UH tracks this far north was the 12Z HiResW ARW, but it showed DC at 80 degrees at the time the watch was issued. Guidance *and* observational trends were clear this was not the day when the front would move quickly northeast. In fairness, though, SPC's focus today was on the Southern Plains, so I can't really fault them for not working more to pinpoint the size of the Mid-Atlantic watch box.

Mybe he just likes to ride his mower. I had an old guy for a neighbor, he cut his lawn frequently, not sure if it was every 3 days but it was more than I did.

Occasional lightning over here.

It will be hard to clear .25 inside the beltway thus far. Maybe overnight we'll get more.

The French Open mens final today was one of the best tennis matches I’ve watched on TV. What a performance by both men, especially Alcaraz.

Right at an inch for the day.

Unexpected thunder.

Oh, the warm front WILL get as far as metropolitan DC. Only all it will bring is a few sprinkles and fierce 77 degree dewpoints along with a 13 mph south wind and highs around 99 degrees. Even on the 1/10 instance. Lucy strikes again but this time in the sweltering summer. J/K You guys will get incredible thunderstorms and lots of good rain but with minimal damage and no injuries.

Looks like it did last year. https://solen.info/solar/index.html

You're missing the point. 9/10 times the front never makes it that far northeast. Then the 1/10 time happens and there's like 20 EF0 / EF-1 tornadoes across the DC / Baltimore area. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Another batch moving through the swamps of Frederick. Might reach 0.5" for the day in my neck of the woods.

This is fine George BM but I would like you to write us up an EPIC Cat 5 Hurricane that stalled in DC for the July Banter Thread. Unprecedented Panic and Destruction!! You could write up the original NWS analysis, then I would do a write up about what people experienced from the epic hurricane. Your analysis and my morbid imagination, if we ever collabbed on a book about the Cat 6 that leveled DC, it would be the best seller of all-time! We'd both retire.

Having the tornado watch cover as far northeast as the DC metro area was somewhat silly. The warm front was never going to make it this far.

They are most definitely not cool. We've been above normal pretty much every summer month for years. Rainier, yes

Dallas is now in the middle of this PDS watch

*** Important Weather CONFERENCE Update*** We need a Summer Conference in Central Texas. We'd have endless lightning talks about the Jarrell Tornado. We'd have the foremost tornado experts present and I would do a deep dissertation on the Deep Winter of Feb 2021 in Texas. We aint catering nothin'. We'd be grilling straight Texas BBQ on a HUMONGOUS Texas Grill. We'd have millions of metric tons of Texas Beer! Three unforgettable fun days of just being weather enthusiasts.

I think I saw an 80+ dBZ reflectivity earlier. Absolutely bonkers hailers today.

0.25” in the last week. Not like it is dry or anything, but I’d still rather keep padding the stats.

Huge reflectivity/velocity rotation with this storm at Rotan, Texas

Hey! You guys have a lot of weather comin your way, including Tornadoes! Enjoy the rain!

Your neighbors sound like morons

More than one three to four inch hail marker

We used to have a neighbor that did this and he usually did it right as it was getting dark/ bed time for our kid back then. We assumed he did it to get an hour away from his wife.
