CAPE

8.02" for the month.

Rain stopped so I got a shot of the driveway. Good drainage so its recovering quickly. Have only seen it that bad a couple times.

It should be ok. Some of the mulch areas are a different story.

Posted this in the severe thread, but i'll put it here- Well that was interesting. Thought I could beat it when I left work, and drove straight into it a few miles south of my house. Wind driven torrential rain, lots of small debris and some big branches down. Plenty of T&L. My driveway is a river. Appears this blew up right on the doorstep from the outflow from the initial line. 1.73".

Looks like there might be some hail with that cell moving towards southern Kent Island.

The depiction on the 18z 3km NAM aligns pretty well with the SPC discussion for tomorrow- A large scale mid/upper trough oriented from the lower Great Lakes to the central Appalachians will pivot east across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Tuesday. Large scale ascent coupled with modest vertical shear (effective shear magnitudes around 30 kt) atop a seasonally moist/unstable airmass will support scattered strong to severe thunderstorms from early afternoon into early evening. Elongated/straight hodographs amid large instability above 850 mb and increasing westerlies to around 35 kt between 3-6 km suggest isolated severe hail will be possible with semi-discrete cells, especially around the Delmarva/Chesapeake Bay vicinity where midlevel lapse rates are forecast to be steepest (around 6.5-7 C/km). Strong heating will aid in steepening low-level lapse rates, and low-level winds will remain fairly light. This will promote potential for strong outflow and isolated damaging gusts. Some guidance suggests a forward propagating cluster may develop via consolidating outflow across the Chesapeake Bay vicinity late afternoon/early evening. As a result of these factors, the Marginal risk (level 1 of 5) has been expanded across the Mid-Atlantic and a Slight risk (level 2 of 5) introduced across the Delmarva vicinity.

Just a few drops here. Nothing measurable.

Os with the second best record in MLB. Up by 2 after taking 3 out of 4. Pretty good start to a tough second half stretch.

63 here. Refreshing.

Outstanding late July day. 78/62 currently. Looks like 81 will be the high here.

Just mowed wearing a long sleeve flannel shirt and long pants, and no sweat.

Looks like some mid to upper 90s later this week as heights increase and the Atlantic ridge builds westward.

Heavy stuff has passed to the east now. Some lighter rain still falling. 0.55"

Line rolling through here now. Looks like its moving at a good clip so shouldn't last too long.

Os made a minor trade and got a bullpen arm. Dude was terrible as a starter but has pitched pretty well lately as a reliever. We'll see. https://theathletic.com/4705024/2023/07/19/orioles-athletics-fujinami-trade/ Now go get a legit starter.

5.65" for July so far

0.88" since midnight.

lol HRRR

Looked like 2 storms merged just west of that area, so maybe that interaction produced some weak rotation.

DEC005-191315- /O.CON.KPHI.SV.W.0208.000000T0000Z-230719T1315Z/ Sussex DE- 847 AM EDT Wed Jul 19 2023 ...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 915 AM EDT FOR CENTRAL SUSSEX COUNTY... At 846 AM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Bridgeville, or near Georgetown, moving east at 30 mph. HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and nickel size hail. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Damage to roofs, siding, trees, and power lines is possible. Locations impacted include... Georgetown, Seaford, Laurel, Milton, Bridgeville, Ellendale, Sycamore, Gumboro, Blades and Bethel.

3km NAM kinda nailed this. HRRR, not so much.

Picked up a tenth overnight. In Easton now at work and it's pouring. Looks like this heading towards home.

Here it would be mostly rain for sure. That was a 50 deg sunny day, but once the sun went down and heavy precip began, 32 deg start to finish. Perfect wet bulbing with dynamical/evap cooling combo. All heavy wet snow. Ended up with a foot. 10- 15 miles south it was mostly/all rain.
