All Activity

Yep, I'm in Kinsey's Ridge (Shaefer Homes - a small local builder). Oakland Hall is QBH Sun coming out after a light shower and it is humid! Can't wait for that great weather coming our way.

Just some typical "no summer" doomerism from the usual suspects. In all seriousness, this looks like a warm start to meteorological summer.

Distant blue and brightening sky with .44" today, and brings the monthly total to 5.46". Obviously, about 75% of that in the last week.

National Blend of Models.

Shifting back to the over the top warming pattern with temperatures approaching 100° in Montana and cooler to the south.

We're getting a decent shower down here now, radar looks like more is building toward us possibly. Maybe we can ele out a quarter inch this evening. Are you down in that Kinsey's Ridge development S of Prince fred? Or Oakland Hall? I think that was the QBH developments name....

I just did my first cut of the season last week. I've been gradually transitioning my lawn to drought resistant fescue and clover and it's been pretty low maintenance. I don't water or use fertilizer unless I'm planting seed. It's gotten pretty damn dry on occasion but it bounces back much more quickly than when I had more bluegrass to contend with, which would really not deal well with the dry conditions.

Yeah, a super El Niño can actually be warmer than expected when overlapping with Niña-like influences. First, the westward lean to the forcing back to MJO 7 probably helped drop the Nino-ridge further south than is typical for El Niño in February. Then the big ridge east of Japan and the strong +WPO along with the EPAC Nino forcing carved out a trough just off the West Coast leading to the -PDO. So the Nino trough typically in the Mid-Atlantic was suppressed out toward Bermuda. Also note the Aleutian Low splitting with a piece over the Bering and just off the West Coast. The one bright spot that month was the record STJ streak near DC and narrow snow band into Central NJ. But it was too narrowly focused to extend much beyond the localized geographic region.

The sky is actually blue? In all seriousness, cloud are slowly starting to break up, more and more patches of blue being seen. Got a decent amount of rain earlier looks like, but still so humid at the moment.

Saturday looks like 100% ass even where it does not rain. Warmest temps probably before 10a and then it goes to shit after. Sunday is halfway decent but still cool in 60s.

Strong Nino's are usually warm with a chance of one blizzard like 83. and 2016..Some strong Nino's you don't get that storm..example 1973,and 1998..It's usually active with storms and precip but there is no cold air.

Since last Wednesday... How much rain did you get?

lol

Just had a sporty storm roll thru. Over an inch in 20 mins with frequent CG. No warning but it was close to that level. Have had 4-5 pretty good storms so far this year. Always fun when nothing gets destroyed. Storm TV thru the window will never get old lol

Too much of a step down, ww, to go from being a Meteorologist to a plumbers helper. Please don’t hang in there, as always ….

0.51" from the storms here today, bringing my total since last Wed. to exactly 4.5" 11 out of the last 12 days will have at least a Trace or more reported in my rain gauge.

0.03”

Miss to the south yesterday, to the north this morning, and another miss to the south right now. This was our last chance for rain for a long time so May's total will be 2.2" which is a bit more than half of normal. I had less than an inch for all of April. Southern MD in huge trouble this summer with dead yards and wells drying up. Maybe even wildfires

This has been an incredibly warm spring. I guess some folks just won't be happy unless the temperature is in the 70s, 80s, and 90s every day.

Stiff Lake wind today keeping temps upper 50's to low 60's. 70's/low 80's well inland.

Not a drop in Nepa today, sunny skies and quite warm. Highs around 80. Enjoy the much needed rains to the south!

another .45" this afternoon, about .35" of that once again falling in just 10 minutes so now the total since 5/20 is 4.90". not bad. the sun is starting to break through now.

At $5/gal, no complaints here

That's my hope. Otherwise it's a 2-3 week winter-cold air will be quite limited most likely
