The last half hour or so is the most impressive rainfall I have seen here in a month.

Up to 1.3" for the event. That's a little more than half the total rainfall for June.

1.45" total

Dover radar effed up again. I was looking at it this morning when it was pouring here and it had nothing over me- it was depicting reflectivity from sometime earlier.

Getting some decent downpours this morning. Up to 0.95"

Getting the usual split so far but somehow managed to pick up 0.52". Can't remember the last time there has been more than a 5 min heavy downpour here.

Slight risk for excessive rainfall too.

Interesting boundry across the lower Delaware Bay on radar, and several cells forming across NE Maryland in a West to East fashion and moving East

A noisy thunderstorm woke me up around 2am. Ofc it passed just to the south. Picked up .08" in a very brief downpour.

The pitching is just plain bad, and it puts pressure on the offense. This is a lost season realistically, but maybe the second half can provide some optimism for next year if Bradish and Wells can get back and be productive.

Ravens tied with the Eagles and Bills for #1 super bowl odds currently!

Bills don't have WR's, so I don't know why they are so high.. probably a weak division. Eagles have so much talent on that team, I would place them at number 1.. but the Ravens really improved their defense this offseason, and extended Derrick Henry and Bateman, which means they are probably doing good. 

They are top 4. Very tough schedule but on paper probably the most talented team. If they stay healthy this might be their year. Just need to execute in the playoffs when its all on the line. They are super motivated.

Looks like the negative momentum is back. Not sure they have another comeback in em.

Eflin lol. Put him on IR. Throwing batting practice.

The Orioles have now given up 20+ runs in a game and scored 20+ runs in a game in a single season.

Down 6-0 they win 22-8.

Very unusual late June day. Overcast and cool with a bit of drizzle, and not a hint of sun breaking through the clouds. The backdoor front is well SW into central to southeast VA and stationary, so we are solidly in a marine airmass with a NE flow.

Easton area got crushed-- 1.44" in a little under an hour. This is the from the mesonet just to the east of town at the Water treatment facility.

The lowlands of AA County have been swamped this week. I had a classic, strobe light, nighttime thunderstorm last evening that dropped 1.90". I've had over 3" this week. No drought here. We're in the green now. 

I'm in plant watering mode now. Grass I don't care about. It craps out regardless.

Well yeah I mean...I hope nobody was still holding out hope for that, lol I kinda have up on that last month--I mean I was slightly intrigued after the 6-game winning streak, but history was against us in terms of how bad we started, and a smaller anecdote that no team that lost by 20+ runs ever made the playoffs! After that it was kinda like...naaaaah.

So folks, we just gotta accept that this is who they are this year and look to next year.

It's football season.. Training camp starts in a little over 2 weeks. Ravens first preseason game in 5 weeks. 

Picked up a few hundredths last night with yet another debacle of being betwixt and between. Looked at the Ridgely Mesonet and three quarters of an inch fell there in 20 mins starting at 10 pm.

Total for the day here 0.27"

I think that boundary moved over here as well from east to west but not 100% sure because the temperature only has gone down about 3 or 4°. 

There were a couple of cells just north of me but they have dissipated. 

Hopefully that line to the far Northwest that is moving Southeast will hold together..

 

 

 

Down to 79 here after a high of 94. It was 83 when the rain started.

The bay spit out another boundary that came across the lowlands and fired off some loud little pop-ups. It rained here for about 15 minutes. The sun was out the whole time. It was kinda cool. It's really steamy and tropical right now.

Edit: Holy shit! I just look at the Dover radar. That is a crazy sea breeze front. Is it rain? It looks crazy on radar. 

Its headed across the Bay now. That's what kicked off the showers here. They have since disintegrated. Basically pulse type showers with weak shear. I did manage to pick up 0.20". Hopefully more to come over the next couple days.

That boundary that moved inland from the Ocean is impressive on radar. Popping some storms and temp dropped 10 degrees. Somehow I am in between 2 blobs of red lol. SOS. Maybe they will congeal.

Orioles are..

NOT GOOD

Forget wildcard dreams. They need to be sellers- Sugano, Morton, Mullins are desirable additions to actual contenders.

How much do 4 packs of 120 minute normally cost?

Last time I was here on the eastern shore they were $38.99, but this time they are $18.99

 

That's cheap but probably because its the Utopias barrel aged version which is old stock. To me that one is decent, but imparts too much of the Utopias notes(like sherry) and detracts from fundamentally what the 120 is. The new limited release version is excellent imo if you can find that one- might be the best yet as they dry hopped it for the first time. Its gonna be 38-40 bucks for a 4 pack.

Those earlier storms trained over me earlier dumping 2.31" of rain here! Also got some 40-50mph wind gusts.

Another decent storm by MBY standards.

I'm now up to 7.52" of rain for June.

Damn. A few hundredths under 2 inches for the month here. Soil is parched. 

Managed to hit 97 briefly earlier, otherwise it would have been another boring high of 96 lol. Dewpoints a bit lower today.
