Line has strengthened some but really starting to blow up ahead of the line from Baltimore and east.

Line is very unimpressive. Best stuff seems to be on the Eastern Shore and up into Delaware and extreme SE PA.

Nice looking clouds to my north with that storm heading into Baltimore County but even that seems tame. Not even any lightning with it. Maybe more stuff starts cranking but we are losing heating of the day and everything is very isolated at the moment.

Storms seem to be collapsing as they approach Central MD.

They’ve updated that to match the recent HRRR runs which initiate storms west of here by early afternoon and move a modest complex through the western burbs later today 

Latest NAM looks more robust as well.

Looks like after this round that's it for today. CAMs went really quiet for late this afternoon and evening.

Yeah, this has been terrible. Big bust on the rain amounts but day after day of cool, drizzly type weather. Kinda the worst-case scenario.

Radar looks a bit less promising for those 95 and west and perhaps even bay and west at the moment. A lot of that stuff in VA seems headed for the bay and eastern shore.

Radar is starting to fill in some and it's not even the afternoon yet. This has gotta be the day we get a solid inch plus.

Only 0.14” at home so far

Yeah, had a period light to steady rain earlier but mostly just drizzle.

Congrats Northern Baltimore County and PA. Going to go water my grass now, lol.

Line is definitely losing some of its punch.

Radar and NAM look good but latest HRRR finds different ways to almost completely miss me all day.

Not even wet under the bushes and cars. Total fail.

Yeah the pavement is wet but the bottom of my driveway under a tree is dry lol.

Congrats, Wilmington. Gotten a few drops here and that's it. Looks like I'll be doing some watering this afternoon.

Looks like all the good stuff is blowing up north and east of the Baltimore area in PA.

Noticeably clearer for first time all week, no acrid stench outside either. Tempt got down to 55 and now on rebound...AQI at nearby Mt. Vernon is 97. Looks like things will improve a bit today on HRRR:  https://hwp-viz.gsd.esrl.noaa.gov/smoke/index.html

Maybe I'm missing something but it looks pretty bad to me and even looks bad tomorrow now.

CWG somehow gave this day a 5 out of 10. Should be a 1.

Our kids are in school until next Friday. 

Wow that's really late. Ours until Wednesday, but the last three days are half days, and they had a half day this week as well. Gotta find any way possible to hit that required number of school days I guess.

  The HRRR smoke products have been excellent at showing the extreme low-level concentrations across our area this morning.    The model is showing a significant improvement later today for northern areas, as the heavy low-level smoke is shunted south before another wave of higher concentrations arrives during the late evening.  Forecast for 5PM:

It really has captured it well. Seems like we get slowly better throughout the day, then it gets bad overnight and into tomorrow afternoon, and then hopefully from there it's a slow improvement going forward through the weekend, getting us back to near normal.

BCPS just cancelled some activities for today. No outside field trips, or recess. Will make a call later about after school stuff. 

They were late to the party on that one. I know Howard cancelled all field trips and after school activities for today yesterday afternoon.

Baltimore now among the worst air quality in the world, seeping down to dc. 

It's so gross out. Toxic, really. Ran yesterday morning and it wasn't great, but would not even consider attempting it today. I don't even want to step out there.

down to 160 AQI up here from earlier 195 this morning. 

Definitely seems better now than earlier. I can't really smell it anymore. It was very strong this morning around 6-8 am.

Hey look, clouds streaming in from the nw on satellite. If you want boring weather, that’s the flow you want…kinda like how it’s been basically the entire year and then some.

Re smoke…caught the red sunset over the Catoctins yesterday and see a noticeable haze. Might actually be smelling occasional smoke as well.

You give me temps in the 70's and 80's with a cool breeze and virtually no humidity all summer and I'll take my boring San Diego weather and enjoy every damn second of it.

The 6Z GFS is interesting and absolute deluge over the next week.

Different view of the same dust devil.

 

I saw one of those one time while on Route 40 in Catonsville. It was throwing stuff way up in the air and the sky was completely blue. My Dad and I was so confused by what we were seeing, but as I got more into weather, it made sense. It made it from one side of the road to the other and then disappeared. Super cool.

I was in Myrtle Beach last summer on vacation and saw a bunch of water spouts. They were wayyyy offshore, but there was a bunch of them that just kept popping up for like an hour.
