CAPE

Steady heavy rain up north and hit or miss storms around here. That will be frustrating as usual.

The 35-41 orioles, who were just shutout despite a good pitching performance, now get to play the Dodgers lol. Any chance this ends well?

Is it bad that I am already sipping on a bourbon?

It is a bit yes. I mean it could happen, but heavy snows in the deep south?? Even northern Florida? that's just ridiculous. Even more so in a strong El-Nino winter. Sure it will be cooler than normal and generally wet there, but not white.

The water table barely broke the surface in my seasonal woodland wetland this Spring. Just some patches of "puddles" here and there. Normally it ends up an expansive area(an acre) of water a foot deep. Applying larvicide was an easy job.

Per Mesonet the VWC is 0.02 at the Ridgely station. Probably about the same in my yard.

We miss to the NW one day, and to the SE the next. At least the lower shore and SE DE will get a tiny bit of relief from the drought.

Its ridiculous. Tree debris all over the place here. A high velocity hot blowtorch that's just exacerbating the drought.

Extreme drought over here per latest update. Cant buy a raindrop.

Comical

Sure. But I can still look forward to Fall. Summer sucks if its going to be a veritable desert.

Not likely. We have all of July and August, and we live in the MA. We got the dog days ahead.

No. It sucks on WB, as each update is a single run. On TT its the avg of the last 12 runs.

Soo nice out. And no worries about the shorter days in the offing- we will still likely be warm and humid well into October. I'm sure you will get sick of it too.

Latest CFS for mid/late winter, Fwiw. Very Nino, and has a general look that could produce a big snowstorm or two even if the overall winter is on the mild side.
