Woooooo.... the radar surprised me. I just noticed what looks like a rain train headed right towards my yard. Why not.. what's one more flood event before the dry week ahead.
Yup. I've completely lost my tomato plants due to hot humid nights. Blight just went nuts. The only plants in my garden that are doing well are my cannabis plants. I'm looking forward to lower dews this week.
I'm hiking in South River watershed as i type. It's extremely tropical out here. It feels the the rainforest exhibit i went to on a field trip as a kid. Dewpoints are probably 80+ back here. The temp is probably only 83 on north facing ridges and shady wetlands.
It's crazy how some places are dry. I'd love a week of dry weather. My tomato plants died from fungal diseases, it floods every other evening and it's a muddy mess full of mosquitoes. Bring on fall.
I can't remember a summer with this much cloudy, damp conditions. It's like winter but hot and humid instead of cold and damp. It's very frustrating for those of us that work outside and need dry conditions.
I'm not sure we need a flood watch today. Seems like the boy who cried wolf. Looks like the activity is winding down for the day. Not bad at all today. Nice breeze, cloudy and not that hot.
I'm sitting in the shade watching my weed plants grow in my garden. It's not bad. Nice breeze. My cannabis plants are dancing around in the breeze and hot sun as I type lol
37 minutes straight of extremely heavy rain and still dumping. 450 from Crofton to Annopoils is experiencing flash flooding capable of washing vehicles off the road. The South River Watershed is experiencing extreme rainfall and flash flooding. The rain is absolutely roaring.
This looks like what the HRRR had earlier. I watched this storm complex build from one lone cloud. It's engulfing the lowlands as I type. Super heavy tropical rain and increasing lightning.
My reverse psychology worked!! It feels pretty tropical out here now. Earlier it didn't feel to bad out. Hopefully we get an interesting evening again today. I'm off due to weather delays on the projects we're working on. I'm headed off on a hike. I kinda hope i get stuck in a storm deep in the woods lol.
I'm surprised we're not seeing headlines from Richmond this morning. It looks like storms sat over the same area all night.
The models today really like the lowlands. They suggest stationary cells develop and sit over the lowlands due to a sea breeze boundary. Than storms roll in over the same area from the west.
