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.

Looks like it did in January. 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.

Very meager totals for as many hours as it’s rained this weekend. 0.2”ish total.

That cell in the western burbs popped right over me as I was in a game shop. The front windows of the store looked like we were going through a car wash. Literally couldn't see the cars that were parked like 3 feet from the windows.

Not a drop today, kind of disappointing when the air is a liquid.

This wasn't about tropical cyclones...

Tomorrow and Tuesday will be variably cloudy and pleasant. Temperatures will top out in the upper 60s to near 70° tomorrow and the middle 70s on Tuesday. Some showers or a thundershower are possible Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday night as a warm front moves across the region. By the middle of the week, it will turn warmer with temperatures again rising into the 80s. Thursday will likely be the warmest day of the week with the mercury rising into at least the middle 80s. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.8°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around May 28. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.17°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.07°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely continue through at least mid summer. The SOI was +2.46 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +1.630 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 61% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal June (1991-2020 normal). June will likely finish with a mean temperature near 73.2° (1.2° above normal).

Im Irish so that probably explains why I don't mind it lol Hopefully tomorrow is better. Gotta cut grass for Tuesdays pick up.

Nice thunderstorm going on up to 1" on the day
