  1. Past hour
  2. Saw two separate storm reports of 83mph winds just south of US50 through the Annapolis area. Looked like the main cell went just south of the 50 corridor from Parole to the Bay Bridge. I’m just north of that and didn’t get anything severe level, but lost power maybe 5 minutes ahead of the storm - based on outaged 2-3 substations on Broadneck probably all lost power, like a tree (or trees) down nesr the naval academy or along St Margaret’s Rd. Where the feed lines for the substations go. 0904 PM Marine Tstm Wind 7 ESE Cape St. Claire 38.99N 76.34W 06/12/2026 M83 mph ANZ532 MD Mesonet 0904 PM Tstm Wnd Gst 3 S Cape St. Claire 39.00N 76.45W 06/12/2026 M75 mph Anne Arundel MD Mesonet 0844 PM Tstm Wnd Gst 1 SE Parole 38.98N 76.54W 06/12/2026 M83 mph Anne Arundel MD Mesonet
  3. A couple things to note. The readings were taken in the city before Logan was built, so that's one factor. Prior to 1980, the temps were taken tucked back a bit near the WSFO, and since, the sensors have been located in the middle of the runways solidly surrounded 3 sides by water. This is going to result in upward trend in dews long-term. Another factor, going to from glass to digital thermometers. Digital can record instantaneous quick temp/dew changes. ASOS is supposed to do 5-min avg to mitigate this. It is known that digital temps run a bit warm compared to glass thermometers overall. Not sure about dews, but it is something to consider. ASOS is considered accurate as long as the temp sensor is within +- 2 F. Not sure about its dew sensors, but yet another thing to consider. A margin of error here would suggest that the approx 1 F dew rise since 1995 when the ASOS was installed at BOS can not be considered statistically significant. How does the increasing heat island effect over time impact BOS dews? As you can see, there are a number of non-meteorological factors that have zero to do w/ climate or its changes that can and do give false trends either way. You can't just simply take climate records over long period of time at face value due to factors mentioned above. So I would use caution w/ small trends over many decades and longer.
  4. The price he pays for having nearly 177k posts! I didn't make ACATT.
  5. damn - the USA is looking good.
  6. The problem gets worse each year once the trees leaves full bloom.
  7. Just went for a walk, 80's accompanied with ripe low 70's dews! Literally perfect
  8. The predicted rain and storms were indeed a total flop here. Not sure what's causing the bad bad model misses this spring and early summer.
  9. Today
  10. No one cares to fix it. I suggest you get over it and move on. Its been a decade plus of bad temps and horrible measurements.
  11. The timing Sunday looks awfully late...not good. Was a bit shocked to see the risk for for east with the D3. Was kind of hoping maybe we would start seeing some faster timing but 0z NAM is even slower
  12. Silent A/C needed for another night. Down to 70/68. Nothing about it is refreshing outside. Inside is a dry 65F.
  13. .52" from storm at 2030 Small but fairly strong with T&L. Hi of 93 today
  14. Already, 8 .... 90° days here on the Isle of Staten.
  15. Pathetic performance of the front thus evening in NC. Can't win.
  16. We are stuck in our neighborhood near Annapolis. There is a tree across our street with a diameter of about 2 feet blocking the road. The county won’t be able to get to it for a while, since the main road into our subdivision is also blocked by trees. A little further down, there is now what looks like an alley through the woods where all of the trees have been knocked down. In our back yard, a 120-foot tall tulip poplar blew down. The rootball is about four feet taller than I am.
  17. The surging satellite appearance of the storms Thu reminded me of a tropical squall line. Mesoscale factors, such as the cool pool, are the driving force due to lack of winds aloft/deep layer wind shear.
  18. I went outside at work and it was windy. Dust was flying everywhere from the gravel parking lot it brought me back to Kansas. Unfortunately I had to get back to work, but it did rain briefly! Now there’s some rumbly showers rolling through in a minute or two. It gusted 29mph at the local airport.
  19. Strange night, Sox scored 10 runs, won a game, and at home. About freakin time.
  20. 4 of the last 6 days with rain. Some nice heat and dews. Summah! 73/71 after the most recent showers.
  21. Yes. I just posted the NWS report over in the severe weather discussion @Ephesians2, sad.
  22. Only a 38 mph gust here at 5:20 pm in the thunderstorm, but when we left to go out to eat at 5:45 at the bottom of the hill a large maple had split and pulled power lines across the road, maybe 1/3 mile away from our house. They just were getting the road reopened when we came back at 9:30 pm.
  23. Actually it worked out well! Wasn't really expecting anything wild or out of the ordinary. Part of the fun on this is picking a location and then adjusting as needed. Because of the road network here and limited visibility with trees and hills, our preference is to always be at a spot well ahead of the storms, particularly for shelf cloud views. I tend to prefer not chasing the storms as they're ongoing (unless its being out ahead of them) because I don't want to risk encountering a flooded road or something like a tree falling if driving along roads which are heavily forested. I'd say today worked out as could have expected. Big winds or even hail is just an added bonus.
