Finally getting raked here.  It’s raining about as hard as it can rain.  Winds gusting above 40 mph.

Watched for an hour as a storm on radar took direct aim on my yard.  It dissipated just before it arrived.  Sun is back out.

Picked up 0.51” of rain after several hours of thunder from numerous storms nearby.  Martinsburg scored with 1.41”

The warned cell formed a mile to my southeast.  Been watching it build as it slowly pulls away.  Continuous house-shaking thunder under sunny skies.

About 1/4 mile visibility here this morning in dense fog.

That warned cell in southern PA just to my north has been dumping for the past hour.  FFW up for that area.  Getting a lot of thunder and lightning here from it and some gusty wind.  Looks like it may slip just east of here though.

Edit- Storm developed right over me on the outflow boundary.  Pouring for the second time today.

Got a direct hit here with loud cracks of thunder, and winds gusting above 40 mph.  Knocked temps down from 96° to 76°.

97° in the shade.  105° in the sun.

is there a site mirror for NWS forecasts?

the usual one has been inacessible all month:
"forecast.weather.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired."

When I go to that link, it takes me straight to weather.gov without any issues.

For the local WFO, try this one:

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
building.

Large hail, damaging wind, and continuous cloud to ground lightning
are occurring with this storm. Move indoors immediately. Lightning is
one of nature`s leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder,
you are close enough to be struck by lightning.

Torrential rainfall is occurring with this storm, and may lead to
flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

Just an awesome light show here for the last 90 minutes with the storms riding off to the NW.  What’s left of the line is finally arriving.

Os are so pathetic. That first inning is like a microcosm of the entire season. Elias has fucked up this roster so bad.

After watching Charlie Morton throwing 76 pitches to get 7 outs, I am fine with never watching him pitch again.

Lots of thunder here with a slow-moving line of storms approaching.  79/72.

First 90° day of the year here.

Getting a gusty shower with the temp falling to 60°.  Doesn’t feel like June is a day away.

0.90” from yesterday which pushed me above 9.00” for the month.

Power is out.  Looked like some slight rotation as it moved through here with heavy winds.

Showers with some downpours here the past two hours.  Now the good stuff is headed this way.

Rain arrived early here.  Wonder if this initial line will mess with the Orioles decision to move their night game up to a 4:30 start time.

1.61” storm total

Just topped 1.00” since rain began midday yesterday.

Do you have a Go Fund Me?

9 in a row.  You might be onto something.  

Had great seats right behind home plate at Fenway Park this evening. Excellent pitchers duel.

The O’s have won the last 8 games I’ve attended. Tomorrow I will be in the first row behind home, hoping to keep the winning streak going.

No sun here today.  Have been socked in with periods of light rain and mist all morning.  Some more appreciable showers moving in for the afternoon.  59°.

High of 57.  Normal for the date is 75.

0.34” of rain so far with another batch ready to move in.  Up to 6.30” for the month.

Getting some pea sized hail and wind gusts to 30mph.
