Looks like the desert valley has a decent chance tonight for storms. I'm rooting for the valley. My area is back to normal. Grass is growing like nuts again and creeks are back to normal.
I actually did a paver sidewalk job in Pikesville today. It can rain on it for 24 hours. I was watching the radar there and was getting bummed my work would get ruined. I couldn't believe how it parted and missed Pikesville lol. That area is really dry. Mush drier than my yard.
I'm not going to complain about the drought anymore. My area is making great improvements. I just had a really fun storm. I had a great view of some spectacular lightning, and a lot of gusty winds. I'd estimate at least a half inch so far. The grass has greened up and nature is looking less stressed.
This has to be one of the most boring weather years I can remember. Hopefully the tropics change that but I seriously doubt it. Looks pretty boring out there as well. Just a bunch of dust.
The drought in my yard here in western AA County is temporarily on hold. Getting nailed with some beautiful rain as I type. Just sitting on my covered patio enjoying a homegrown joint and watching it rain.
Edit: It just keeps building and getting heavier. Wow
Looks like storms are developing in VA. They look east of the desert wasteland valley region unfortunately. Possibly some action for the rest of the area.
NE MD didn't even have to wait until noon to get inundated with storms. Must be a swamp up there. Seems like they get crushed every day. It's humid, damp, cloudy, and about 80 degrees here. Seems very tropical again today.
Yup. Central VA has been swamped this summer. Looks the the drought won this round. I'm glad I got an inch. Probably it for another couple months. Looks really dry from today onward.
Looks like 1-2" with lollies up to 3" across the DC area, up your way, and across PG and AA. I'll take that run too. I'm just happy to I've had some interesting weather finally.
It looks like the line in VA is growing SW and headed generally towards the DC area. I wonder if that makes it across the area. I'm on a mini heater today. I'll take all I can get.
Second round of storms incoming. I'm on a heater today. The sky has been beautiful for the past couple of hours. It reminds me of tropical remnants. I hope the front stays where it is. Sorry western fokes. I've watched you get snow for years while I get 33 degree rain.
Just had another downpour that brings my yard up to almost an inch for the day. I see a tropical looking sky with some blue showing up to my SE. Hopefully it gets things unstable for later.
Best rain of the summer in my yard. That first batch dropped 0.85". I wouldn't be surprised to see more later today. Radar to the south is becoming more active.
It's getting ominous looking to my south. It looks like this beast developing to my south is growing NW and to the SE. I hope this gets as many people in the metro as possible with some real water.
Shocker. Same places that have had rain get tons more. My garden hasn't been watered by rain since mid May. It's incredible how localized the extremes are. Mother nature never fails to humble me.
