Even yesterday could feel the ability for the DCape to work its magic from the gust front winds alongside gusty winds with a downpour. Just need some taller cells to full take advantage of it.

I’m still rain weary after Helene. Hate that I used to enjoy the rain so much but ever since the storm I’ve just always hated downpours and have to keep an eye on the yard, the way the water is flowing, etc. I’ll definitely take the rain but just in calm, non-intense varieties.

I didn't get much either, but it did at least wet the ground... I didn't even bother to check the gauge, probably .05" tops.

I'm at the hospital with my mom in the Detroit area (Novi). Was here yesterday and a crazy intense storm blew through. It was like derecho winds. You know those large public trash bins that are made of cement and this pea gravel looking stuff always in public locations? I was watching out the window of her room during the storm and the wind blew one of them right over! They must weigh several hundred pounds. Was about 90F here yesterday. 53F today when I got to the hospital this morning, much colder.

Agreed. The nature of pulse thunderstorms is there will be winners and losers so some of us may need to wait until the weekend/next week to get significant rainfall

all the mesos this morning are impressive

extended looking p zzzzzz, at least temps looks pleasant and comfortable

85/65

Going to be close but I think we have a good shot at hitting it - I'm at 84.5 currently and it looks like another 2-3 hours of full sun to go.

really could have used that rain

81 DCA 83 IAD 87 BWI 10am obs

Soon.

3K NAM clobbers the S Coast later today/this eve

Accomplished with ease these days.

My excitement is building. Pulse thunderstorm season is one of my favorite times of year. Hope this wedge doesn’t last too long and we get to see some fireworks over the next few days.

06z GFS is 2"-3" from I-70 north Friday into Saturday.

FRG 85/65 at 10 am.

Should be some today.

send some of that up this way. silver spring is going to just be "silver" soon

MAV has 23° at SLK Fri morning. Terrible.

Record heat to record cold maximums. Gotta love springtime around here.

Well the diffused blob was so diffuse that I got nothing from it other than more humidity. I bottomed out at 70 this morning and it's currently 86 with a dp of 70 (which should be banned anytime before July). I did see the upcoming forecast for rain on and off into the weekend so hopefully I get something from that (looks like an overrunning event along the cold front).

Can't wait to watch the cumulus build over the Blue Ridge the next few weeks
