CAPE

Hopefully we end the month with a good soaking. Sorry for you beach goers, but its been too damn dry. Only 0.83" here for May, augmented by watering over the last few days.

Dry. Probably had some drizzle. Cool though.

GEFS and GEPS look pretty wet for late week/weekend.

Maybe a pity sprinkle around here today. Better chance of something more significant west of DC. At least we get one cool(dry) day before the hot/dry comes back in. 63 currently and quite breezy.

And wtf is with this? Do they really think this looks good? Or they don't understand wheel offset? It must be a purposeful thing, crazy as it seems. Literally every truck I see around here features this abomination. I remember when cops used to pull you over and hand out inspection tickets for shit like this.

Only noise around here is farm equipment, and redneck trucks with muffler delete.

It will be 20+ degrees cooler tomorrow. Maybe even a sprinkle or 2. Early October-like.

First 90 of the season here. Very breezy though so it doesn't feel bad out there at all.

Drinking a DFH 90 Min (Imperial) IPA. Have not had this in probably 2 years. This is a classic. It has that prominent malt backbone I remember, but seems more hoppy, right up front, and straight through to the finish. Dank. I like it better now for some reason. They changed the artwork on the bottle- I wonder if they tweaked the recipe a bit. Probably not. I have just been drinking too many NE style Hazy IPAs lol. eta- the malty/slightly sweet backbone really balances out the piney/dank hoppy character as this warms. New appreciation for this one. I normally go straight for the beast- the 120.

Yeah its not bad. Nice breeze and a dry heat for the most part. It is super dry out there though.

88 Feels like mid July.

Yeah it shouldn't be struggling on a day like this. Other than charge, might want to check filter(s) and the often overlooked dirty condenser/evaporator coils. A couple years ago I had to clean the A coil in my indoor unit- it can get caked with fine dirt/lint that gets past the filter over time.

Mesos too. ICON is similar to Euro, but without the heavy amounts. I think there will be some showers around as the backdoor front moves in and the winds shift to onshore- convergence zone? Doesn't look like a ton of moisture available though. With the frontal boundary nearby and vacillating over the next several days, there should be some chances later in the week and weekend.

With strong HP ridging down from Quebec, the frontal boundary will likely be pushed pretty far SW. There will be some showers/storms but I would expect any heavier rain will be focused from DC west and especially southwestward.

Been outside waxing the Jeep and planting some Petunias. Noticeably more humid than the last several days. 83 currently. Feels like MA summer.

You could have omitted the "wx" designation.

This guy is a regular contributor to CWG?

Enjoy!

82 here. Very pleasant, although noticeably more humid than yesterday. DP is 57.

GFS gets some convection in here late Wed, the only "hot" day, with some ul energy coming in from the west as the ridge flattens/moves out. Gets very active beyond that. Euro also looks more active towards next weekend, although not quite as wet as the GFS is suggesting.

Some of us age well, like a DFH 120 min IPA. Speaking of which..

At least low 90s for a day.

48 this morning. Looks like one more day of low dews and pleasantly warm temps before the heat and humidity builds in for the weekend. Front looks generally dry for late Sunday, then a cool Monday, before another bout of heat after that. Still no widespread rain in sight.

Its due to that high building to the SW on the NW side of that Atlantic low. Characterizing it as a back door front seems reasonable.
