Perfect early June day. Sipping a Double Digit Hazy IPA out on the deck.

2019 Mid Atlantic Lawn, Garden, Pool, etc. Thread
CAPE replied to Eskimo Joe's topic in Mid Atlantic
I have a mini obsession with driftwood. I have it in random places outside and inside the house. This is my driftwood/rock garden, with some potted plants and the weather station. (it sits over top the septic tank which is just below the surface, and I always had a square brown spot there lol). -
64/57 Much better than this time yesterday.
-
Nice! Next few days will be perfect for taking the hot rod out and laying down some rubber.
-
There are some storms firing up now in southern/eastern areas with the juice still in place. Looks to be scattered/isolated though. Probably be pretty intense for places that get under one though.
-
Am I the only one who likes to drop a few fresh blueberries into a glass of dry red wine in the summer? Sort of a really quick and dirty sangria lol.
-
Bit of a breeze here too now. Still hella humid. 84/75
-
I was baking too, but then I came inside and took a refreshing shower.
-
I will gladly take h5 looks like this in mid June.
-
83/74
-
This is why some drier air probably gets in ahead of the front and possibly keeps any storms rather isolated this afternoon/evening. We are on the backside of the pre-frontal trough that moved through overnight.
-
Maybe some drier air has advected in over there already. It is hideous here.
-
Late afternoon/ evening. One inhibiting factor for storm development is the flow ahead of the main front is likely to bring some drier air into the area this afternoon. I will be keeping an eye on the dew point here. Its sultry as hell out there now. Just do anything for a few minutes and you are soaked. Already took a shower.
-
Steam bath out there. 78/74 Might be interesting when the front comes through later. Looking forward to the next few days. Should feel awesome after our first bout of heat and humidity.
-
The localized nature of rainfall in the summer can be painful. My run of frustration lies ahead I'm sure. Always seems to happen at the worst time here.
-
Picked up 0.20" overnight from the decaying storms. Freshened up my rainpack. 2.55" two day total.
-
This is the one.
-
Told ya you were gonna be in the jack zone. Pummeled!
-
I ran that sucker for about 2 hours yesterday in the late afternoon on the area out back where I try to keep the grass nice. So that area had like an extra half inch of rain lol.
-
I like using the HREF as it is an ensemble of pretty much all of the relevant meso models. It didn't quite work out yesterday for here as most of the members were not impressive at all for my yard, and I ended up getting PUMMELED. I find it to be a pretty useful tool overall though.
-
lol that is usually what happens here. Been jack-potting a lot so far, but it will surely change in a few weeks at peak sun angle and when the legit heat is on, like clockwork. There will be storms within a few miles in every direction, but bupkis in my yard.
-
It's just getting started. HREF looks pretty decent for N central/ NE MD into SE PA for a bit later.
-
Your yard is in the slight risk area for excessive rain. Good luck!
-
Taken literally, the only model run I saw of any meso yesterday that brought the heavier rain over here(rather than tracking it more to the NW) was the 18z 3k NAM. Just goes to show how difficult it is to pinpoint the forcing in an environment like this, with stalled boundary, and rather localized impulses moving through. Finally looks like a cold front plows through tomorrow, and we get into a drier air mass for the weekend and early next week. Temps in the upper 70s with dew points in the 40s/50s ftw.
-
Yeah quite a difference driving south this morning. Lets see what the next round does. Hopefully it misses my yard and gives yours a deluge.
