That's it. Put that marketing degree to work. Occasional rumbles of thunder here, but only a few moments of insignificant rain so far. We maxed at 94⁰ here. Down to 81 now.

Big gusts coming through, power flickering.

I wish there was a climo station in town either on the NCSU campus or at one of the city parks.

Decent rains, thunder and lightning.

The radar is showing oranges here and yet, under the patio table is still dry.

My mom just confirmed pea-sized hail in Oxford, near Lincoln University:

All I want is a good storm. Folks back home been getting the goods all spring.

Lame here

Went for a bike ride down here in Brick. Absolutely brutal out, but there's a breeze at least. Now I'm ready for the storms to roll in.

91.7 for the day

outflow hit. but radar is doo doo south of I-66 east towards the potomac

.02". This area continues it's struggles when lots of others cash in. It's funny looking at 60 month maps and seeing a bullseye Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

And just like that:

With the outflow boundary out racing a lot of the convection, this has probably ended any scattered or widespread risk for wind damage. Looks more like generic thunderstorms for the rest of the evening.

Raining pretty good in northern Mclean

Yeah maybe beyond that, too.

Managed to sneak in 90.0. 4 day heatwave in the books.

Wind picked up STRONG over at Coppin. Walking across a parking lot was an adventure.

Will this be the first time in years where we’re getting a wet pattern that doesn’t require us to have to “settle”, or have winners and losers?

THIS.

All next week is 80-85 and sunny .

Wow models printing out 3 inches PLUS well into middle next week. That southwesterly flow aloft is what does it lol. Mid Atlantic, we will try to send some of that YOUR way. I personally saw 1.5 last night. This may not seem like much to you for the year so far but I have 16.6 in the gage since Jan 1. 30 inches is avg for us in 365 days. The only weather site I record every day that has more than that is Binghamton, NY with 17.6 since Jan 1. I'll try hard to send you all some Texas rain with love. Its getting hard to keep up with that LAWN lol.
