Some potential for non-trivial rain on Monday. Keeping fingers crossed.

.21 here. Every batch that came close just disintegrated

.25

Received about 1.5" of rain from yesterday here at my location.

Euro looks like a widespread soaker overall. Probably going to be a hellacious band near low center and along WF.

To me, it was pretty obvious the timing of these storms. So for this area, it was completely ridiculous.

I woke up and said it is about freaking time!

Thankfully although there have been some winners and losers relatively speaking it was a .5"+ rainfall across the Piedmont. Pretty rare to get widespread rain like that in June

We're in a new construction home which means trying to start a lawn. I gave up and will try again this fall. As for garden, I just have a few containers and pots I can water. I think we'll see a wet and mild winter which would help getting a lawn going. Cloudy 71/68

Pretty sure it was the same measuring standards back to the 1950s. Airports were doing 6 hourlies.

Northwest flow is great in Ohio right now. Taking my older kid to cedar point today (he's in the roller coaster phase of early teen years). Sunny, crisp, low humidity, 10/10

Thinking about ONI and RONI. Surface winds like trades are driven by surface temperature difference, so RONI probably more relevent. Precipitation and heat release to atmosphere from condensation are driven by moisture content. Warmer air holds more moisture so ONI is probably more relevent. Jet stream should have some ONI influence due to extra warming of tropical deep atmosphere from condensation. Will be interesting to see how the two factors play out.

I hope the euro is right Monday…would love a deep soaker. I’d sacrifice a Monday for that. Euro is 2-3” up here while the GFS is mid 70s Mon-Tue. GEFS tickled south too.

Thunderstorm activity in SNE has been pretty flaccid so far. I think it ramps up towards the end of the summer.

Warm spots like Newark are currently in 2nd place for most 90° days by the summer solstice. But the area will see fewer 90° days in late June with the pattern closer to seasonable. So Newark should fall further back closer to 4th or 5th place by June 30th.

Meh even a marginal risk can do that. There was like zero lightning. As we thought.

We had 2 events cancelled. One was a staff golf tournament. That made sense due to rain likelihood and lightning. The other was our school fishing club was cancelled. I didn’t know we even had one. That also made sense.

After Monday fails (north) that's it for rain changes. I'm glad I didn't do a garden. Come on October!

.48” here .

It's only happened once before, when 3 robust el ninos happened in the 1982-92 period, which was a solid +PDO period. After the 2nd el nino event was a strong la nina. If we do get a very strong el nino, I'm almost expecting that after 2 in a short period, it's going to have to correct to the opposite direction, and a robust la nina will follow after it. And there was somewhat of a correction in 1983 and 1984, even before the robust 1988 event. There was none in 2024 or 2025. It's got to correct, unless we've reached a point of no return and the global climate is permanently altered.

Barely a quarter of an inch.

NWS from Sterling has slammed us in Waynesboro with a 70% likelihood of numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms late night and Friday morning before noon. I'm still waiting for the first drop at 7:00 and the predictor radar of course keeps the rain over southeast Va..

.75 inch so far here. Thanks Arthur.

And, it failed. Next chance is Monday and I'm wondering - does that miss us north or south?
