I really need to get the grass mowed, so hopefully it dries out enough so I can do it later today. Much rather do it on a day like today.
-
Yeah temps and humidity will be on the increase as the week progresses, and looks like a cold frontal passage in the Friday/ Saturday time frame.
-
55 here, headed for mid 60s. Back to cloudy and cool and a NE flow with the backdoor cold front that moved in overnight. Just for a day though, then the legit warming commences.
-
That line of showers that rotated down from the NE weakened as it approached here, but still picked up a few hundredths. My official total for the entire event is 1.80".

Other than horse flies, the only flying/biting insects I have are mosquitoes, and after 3 rounds of larvicide of my seasonal wetland over the past 2 months, I have not seen even one. Left untreated, I would have an unbearable swarm by now. Plenty of chiggers around if you venture into the 'wrong' area. The itch from their bites are the worst, and can last a month.

I saw a different picture online and that is a really little kid holding it. Still an impressive hunk of hail. Melon sized.

Nice summer day. Having a blast using my Elucto electrocution swatter to slam carpenter bees. They are active today. Gotten about 10 so far. It really is quite satisfying, this game.

2019 Mid Atlantic Lawn, Garden, Pool, etc. Thread
CAPE replied to Eskimo Joe's topic in Mid Atlantic
I was out back checking on the mole activity and the plants after all the rain. This rose bush has gone bonkers the last week or so. I don't do much other than throw down some rose tone. Didn't even cut this one back, as the deer usually chew them down during the winter. They didn't touch this one though. -
This event way over-performed in this area. Most guidance 48 hours ago suggested around a half to as much as three quarters of an inch through today. Some NAM runs had a quarter inch or less. My forecast for overnight into this AM was 40% chance of showers, a tenth of an inch or less.
-
The fairly large area of heavy rain/storms that developed early this morning was totally unexpected, by me, and forecasters apparently. Some of the mesos hinted at it, but not until late. The 6z 3k NAM showed a well defined vorticity spoke developing and rotating through on the SE side of the upper low as it approached the bay. This likely initiated the strong lift, and we already had a pretty juicy, somewhat unstable air mass in place.
-
Picked up over an inch of rain since midnight. 1.72" for the event. Still some steady light rain falling.
-
Torrential rain occurring here this morning with T & L. Radar looks impressive. Had a brief heavy downpour overnight as well.
-
2.15" for the month here, but other than today's 0.68", the rest fell in the first 8 days of the month.
-
Its Friday! And the start of a holiday weekend.
-
Just poured a Flying Dog 'The Truth' Imperial IPA.
-
I was in Easton for much of it and it poured there. Close to an inch I would think in that area. Just got home and looks like 0.68" in the bucket here. I'll take it.
-
Pouring here in Easton.
-
Going to be a lot of widely scattered showers with this, and there is also a chance of some thunderstorms, mainly tomorrow. Some places should do very well, others not so much. There was a nice round of moderate showers moving through here early this morning. I left as it was ongoing. There was 0.15" in the bucket when I left. I would be happy to see a half inch total through tomorrow.
-
No real signs of any prolonged heat. This h5 look would be pretty pleasant in early June. Probably lots of 70s with lows in the upper 50s.

Hot enough for you? -- the sequel (forecast contest)

BWI: 100F DCA: 104F IAD: 99F RIC: 103F I will also predict my yard won't see triple digits. Never does. The antithesis of urban sprawl. -
There is some actual rain falling. Its been exactly 2 weeks since there has been measurable rain here.
-
Yeah and I remember them from when I was a little kid at my grandmas in Catonsville. Pretty insane. We don't really get them over here- maybe a few here and there. Something to do with the sandy/silty soil I think.
-
Maybe this is the year for the emergence of the -NAO during actual winter. Once every 10 years perhaps.
-
67 here. The blocking pattern is finally breaking down. Somewhat warmer and more humid air mass is moving in for late tonight and tomorrow. We shall see how the rain chances play out. I expect it will be underwhelming for many, given the upper low is in a much weakened state, and any surface low pressure that may move up along the coast also looks to be weak.
-
Looks like a general 1/2 to 1 inch of rain, maybe a bit more in a few locations, over the next couple days. Hopefully it doesn't disintegrate. Right on the edge of getting very dry over here.
