Getting a pretty good downpour here. Only one rumble of thunder so far.

He looks ready. He’s gonna be a great hitter.

I picked up 4” on 10/29/2011 and 4 more inches total the rest of the winter.

Heavy downpour from a small cell that popped up right over my yard.

Getting some loud thunder already from a small cell to my north that developed ahead of the main batch moving this way from western Md. Looks like a pretty interesting afternoon possible here.

Surprised how the wind has stayed up since the storms moved through this afternoon. 15-25 mph is really refreshing.

1.58” from the warned cell that moved through. Currently getting stiff breezes and light rain from a second cell sliding by just to the north.

Getting whipped here. Winds gusting to 45 mph. Vivid lightning close by. Torrential rain. edit: 59 mph gust. Easily the windiest storm in a very active season here.

Hoping that stuff in WV can hold together for later.

At the Baysox game to watch Kyle Bradish’s rehab start. Can’t be more than 300 people in attendance. Blazing hot in the sun too.

Every GM has hits and misses with players they bring in. But if Elias really came into the season with the plan that his offense would compensate for a mediocre rotation until he got some pitchers back from injuries/ surgeries as the year wore on, that borders on malpractice.

Just had a diminishing rain shower pass through. Didn’t knock the temps down at all but did keep the humidity high. 86/75

It looks like that cell should slide just southwest of me. But because I just finished cutting the grass. I’m expecting it to hit here anyway.

Pretty sure Rutschman is a free agent at the end of the 2027 season. Which leaves two seasons to try and contend with him. The Orioles probably don’t want to wait until his walk year to deal him if they hope to get back a decent package. Which means offering him sometime between now and next year’s deadline. Of course, this precludes them extending him. Because they have shown no willingness to do that with any of their players.

More showery than I expected this afternoon. Might reach the 3-day total of 0.10-0.25” QPF forecasted by WPC by this evening. 78°.
