All Activity

Don't you worry, the snow line will stay firmly north of the mason Nixon line all winter long

Agreed, lol I am in favor of them just standing pat or perhaps consider Rogers and Ward for trade. To me we are not going to get anything for Adley that will help the organization anytime soon--and the injuries are only gonna lessen the package, imo I mean for your former 1:1 it better be in your Top 2 prospects and that's just a start.

A beautiful evening to see a free Fleetwood Mac knockoff band at Wisp. 70 with a breeze - heading to the upper 40s tonight. Yes please and thank you.

Can already feel a significant difference in the air.

Did daddy-o @CoastalWx lock you out of your house again?

Maybe he’s smart enough to block you. He's a generous soul so unlikely he will.

I recall in the summer of 2019, a friend of mine was driving S on I95 getting close to 128 junction, and he could see DSNT LTG in CB tops to his S. Turns out it was about 130 mi away over the ocean! Not often you see LTG that far away in New England, minus higher mtn tops. So I bet if it was night, you would have seen LTG in these CB tops! Farthest I have ever seen LTG in New England was about 15 years ago driving N mid-evening on I93 at the 495 junction. Saw a dull orange flash on the N horizon. Cell was close to BML, so about 120 mi.

Already at an inch of rain

I feel your pain.

More NW flow! And talk about the mean trough position remaining in the E! The 12z ECMWF gets really amp'ed in 7 days. So all sorts of convective possibilities, even if it is just big rains/lots of LTG! Type of pattern is that if we can get any TC development off the E Coast, odds are we can get at least its tropical moisture here. Some areas did quite well for rain ydy. Max I could find for the DC area was 3.75" at Highland MD. For SE VA where the biggest rains were fcst, ending 7am EDT, max of 6.00" at Kilmarnock VA (more fell after 7am). So the HRRR did ok, and RRFS overdid it, esp. over SE VA, but at least it had the location of the max rainfall correct. Still getting a feel for the RRFS. I've heard not so good things about it here and there, but it is still non-operational, so maybe it will be adjusted/tweaked by the time it goes operational in Oct.

I just got home and checked the station. Looks like I recorded 3.77in today. I’m reminded why it’s hard to use Radarscope to perfection, but it generally will give you an idea. If I were to literally go down the hill in my neighborhood to the lake though, they have definitely received over 4in and then just across on the other side of the lake is Bean Station and Mooresburg. There, over 5-6in of rain fell.

Chuck Rhodes is an icon for anyone growing up in central PA. .

Was skeptical of StormNet at first because it’s very AI driven but it’s done a damn good job. Something to watch for Monday.

Don’t worry, next week when I’m on vacation looks like shit in that area

What a great visual post!

Oh hell yeah I'm looking forward to that! We are going to a local winery for some live music on Friday evening. Should have temps falling thru the 70s Hoping those training showers SW of me make it here

Watching the overshooting tops from about 130 miles away...

I would have guessed at least 1.5". I'm surprised.

Speak of the devil.

Nice bolts with this and crazy rain

Nope, new cell back building. My son’s all fired up.

So June and July predictions were good so let’s see if we can get a tropically controlled August.

My background is in ticks, and you are right that the white-footed mice spread them the most along with chipmunks. This is why you NEVER want to sit on a rock wall in or near the woods. The mice nest in them, and they are loaded with larval ticks, which molt into nymphs. The nymphs, because of their size, are the ones most likely to transmit Lyme. The deer are the singles bar for the ticks. The adult females feed on them, and the male ticks move from female to female to mate (gigitty gigitty as Quagmire would say). The males don't really even care about a blood meal, just mating. Such is life.

I’d almost prefer that over the work currently being done on the side right now lol..yeah, it’s a work in progress
