All Activity

Guilty as charged, but I doubt it makes much difference in the electric bill. Darkness is the same length whether it's warm or cold, though on average winter warmth tends to be cloudier. Maybe the biggest advantage for the warm season is cooking on the grill instead of the stove.

Miserable day. Just socked in fog and drizzle with a raw breeze.

I was curious about that as well so went and snooped around in Google Maps. Seems like the stuff coming off the roof was just from the roof itself sending all rainwater to the new low spot after the wall failed. This is a pretty good example of older construction that likely wouldn't get permitted today (at least not in VA). You're right that the building was effectively a dam... look at where it's located in the local landscape. Red = apartment building, Teal = drainage area The uphill side is basically a swimming pool too, with the curb likely not high enough to contain the water in the street from spilling over. Drainage for the lot seems to be a grate drain (teal rectangle) and an ~18" overflow pipe (teal dot) going under/through the building. Both could have been partially clogged, especially the grate. Really poor civil design here overall.

Had about .03 but yeah, 70's and passable.

rain incoming

The GFS and Euro both have 100° heat away from the sea breeze next Monday through Wednesday. So it would be the first time for places like Newark to get 3 days in a row reaching 100° in June. The previous all-time June record was 2 days in a row back in June 2021. The all-time record for any month was 5 days in a row in July 2022.

68 and mist. Another day where it’s 15 degrees warmer in Quebec

Yeah, 18z NAM is pretty lame.

Looks like a decent line or storms /rain in a few hours or so for the 95-corridor folks.

I'm just playing with his webbed hands.

This is “bring two shirts to the bball court” weather.

12z EURO AI keeps the worst of the heat in NJ. How is the AI model different than the regular one and how has it performed temp wise in the past?

Tomorrow may end up rainier too for many looking upstream

66.6/66.3/66.4

18z HRRR doesn't look as bad for Chicagoland showing some stronger convection firing off around noon and racing NE.

Pouring. Up to 64°

Barely a shower here to wet the ground. Overall decent day in the 70s.

The only solace is it brought in the dews . 65/64 with a wipey, sticky feel

Rain finally ended here. Rained all day . A colossal bust on models and forecasts that were essentially dry . Of course this cant happen in winter with snow . .37 on the day

Some juicy stuff in afternoon round 1, but it missed me by a couple miles. We'll see if round 2 gives me anything. But after this morning I'm fine if I don't

Some peeks of blue sky in Gaithersburg.

And it's already happening with small hail and lightning at Fort Collins and Loveland.

It lightens up for a bit and then back to a moderate rain.

tomorrow trended doa quickly for around here, with a quick trend towards poor timing of the mcv passage. shame. we've reached the point where things ramped up for a month of quality activity from mid-june through mid-july last year, after a similarly slow start like this year. it doesn't look like a turn-around is in the cards just yet.

Next week looks brutal
