That takes up about 3 minutes of your life total, unless you own a clock/watch store, then you have a little work to do for a day between customers every few hours.

torrential on and off rain, thunder and lightning. it alternates between almost sunny to the street lights coming on—very dramatic weather this morning.

I'm kinda looking for a "new" type of spring and summer heat that's been papered. "heat excursions" at higher latitudes have become a coherent/reproducible aspect of CC. That period of time suspiciously looks like an opportunity for one of those ridge nodal resonant features. UK is experiencing one now. And just like them, this one was not very well modeled either. They may be more sussed out by telecon trends - the old institutional way to 'sense' or see storms or warmth or cold etc.. at extended leads, because ( my conjecture) is that they are emerging within regions where the non-linear wave function is supplying - hence the "invisible" - a constructive feedback. The UK heat of these recent days didn't really show up in the guidance until 120 hours out. That's awesome in 1988, but 2026 ... mm. It's anomaly distribution has been extreme relative to date. Uuuusually bigger anomalous in the physics materialize early in guidance and have a way of sticking around from a longer lead... Sandy showed up 13 days out. So did the 1993 so called super storm. There are other examples. These heat nodes at higher latitudes are an increasing global phenomenon. There was a whopper in Siberia either last year or the previous ... The Pacific NW, 2020... there's a huge list. They are proportional in SD, but with historic heat... not storms. And have been surging in occurrence in the last 20 years. The fact that this heat over there might have been been merely suggested, but then went kind of bonkers is smoking gun attribution deal. The PNA -1 for 3 or 4 days between June 6-ish and 10-like, the EPO does a weird 3 day dive to -2 SD, while the NAO is positive. Every so often the operational runs do like that 18z yesterday... then of course fade. Seems like there's a region where the non-linear ( "tendencies" is the best way to describe that - I've called that correction vectoring in the past) forcing occurs in a domain from say IA-ME. It's unfortunately not a linear weather forecast, because it can't be. You have to sense where these tendency fields are, and then watch for the models to avail.

This last week was pretty pitiful for rain down in Calvert. Today is another day of mist/drizzle that doesn't even get the ground under the trees wet. Might as well go back to sun and full drought instead of this stupid weather.

Currently at work in Frederick, yeah that was a nice big thunder.

Well was not expecting that. Large flash out my bedroom window and thunder. Was going to show but will wait.

I find that hard to believe. Outside our 4-5 days of heat in March April and May, this hasnt been a particularly warm or pleasant spring. Cool, cloudy, misty, windy are adjectives I would use

Only about half an inch of rain from the western mesonet sites. Good for soils and denting the drought.

Just had a brief heavy shower; looks like more to come!

Having married into a sub-Saharan genealogy that's about as close to living with heat as you really want to go, huh lol

Yes it's been pouring rain here.

Take.

Remarkable consistency in my observations lately, with three consecutive days of nearly exactly a third of an inch, then an even one-incher, followed by three consecutive tenth-of-an-inch type days. I understand this probably only interests me ha. carry on. 20-May Heavy Rain 0.34 21-May Rain 0.33 22-May Rain 0.33 23-May Rain 1.00 24-May Rain 0.11 25-May Rain 0.10 26-May Rain 0.10

That cluster of showers and storms in western MD and WV looks decent…

EPS breaks down the omega block and opens the gulf back up, so that’s possible.

63 degrees for the low. Cloudy, not sure if we got rain showers coming.

Broiling in Minneapolis under the Omega. Send rain please

Watch the rain come back the week after that.

Outdoor lobby wouldn't like it-golf clubs kids sports, you name it.

There is a forum for the Philly area. Feel free to post Philly stats there. As for me, this month is -3.1 so far through May 26. I don't think this month will end up in the + departure column after a warm March/April.

We were +4.3 and +4.1 for that timeframe. It was a warm two months here for sure.

65 when I left the house with .1” having fallen and steady rain still occurring.
