North Balti Zen

Was 50 for the morning walk out of Monkton station with the dogs at 7 am.

I know we need rain, but...holy wow what a day. 84 downtown Balt just now when stepped out - winds out of the NW - no humidity. Fluffy cloud warning in effect.

That was a pretty perfect Saturday for August weather. Headed to the Fair this AM - looks like another nice day ahead. Warmer start to things - 67 in Fallston.

Ended up at .64 at the farm in Fallston from that storm last night. Really needed too.

They are quite good - coming here for trivia Sunday nights and it is a good time

Small amount of urban flooding at Independent Brewing Company

Holy god this storm up in fallston/bel air is rather epic.

It is REALLY impressive how we miss on days like the last two days. Almost a complete whiff at the farm too.

Absolute whiff for the most part in Fallston last night. Almost hilarious how close it was to raining but refused to.

That was a spectacular weather weekend. Did whitewater tubing on Saturday at Harper's Ferry and I cannot imagine a better summer day for that. Two hikes with the dogs yesterday. Such deep blue skies, summer hot but not, HOT, humidity more than tolerable. Just a superlative set of weather days.

It’s absolutely ripping rain in Fallston. Looks like a storm popped up east of here and backed to the west. Weird.

72 and completely fair skies / stars out - and a joyful crowd at Merriweather for King Gizzard backed by the national symphony. Great vibe here tonight.

Big winners in Harford county early - every turn east of downtown Baltimore as it pops up so far.

Bump - curious myself

What a start to the day weather side of life. 10 out of 10.

Went up and borrowed my pups for a walk at 6 am on the NCR trail in Monkton. It was...heinous out in terms of humidity. Absolutely awful. AGAIN.

Weird how people are fired up over the watch issuance thing - all it does is let me know that if the area I am in has a storm set up over it, I need to be cautious when travelling out and about over the possibility of high water. That's helpful as hell, to distinguish the danger of heightened localized flooding chances from any given pop up storm in this set-up versus other times when you don't need to worry as much about that from pop up storms. I know it was nice to have that tucked in the back of my head as I drove in the deluge last night - I was cautious as hell approaching low spots in the road near creeks to make sure that there was not pooling water in those areas.

I was driving from Hunt Valley to my girlfriend's farm in Fallston at 6 pm yesterday when the storm blew up. Absolutely harrowing drive, the rainfall rates were ridiculous and almost continuous ponding on the roadways. Trees down on the way etc. Lightning was quite a show. The rain gauge at the farm I set up a few months ago recorded 1.92" as of 8:00 pm last night in the preceding 24 hours - I think about 1.4" of that in the storm from 6:00 - 8:00. Just under 7 inches of rain at the farm there since we set up the gauge in mid-May. Been really nice for the flowers (that's her crop - cut flowers for sale direct to individuals and flower shops). The zinnias are absolutely exploding right now, as are the dahlias.

HOLY hell the humidity - was 98% in fallston area at 6 am - 93% at 8 am and still upper 80s now in Bel Air. It is almost unfathomable to me to see it this humid here for this long. This was what living in Memphis, TN was like for a decade in the summer and...I was happy to move to get away from that. Whoever gets into moisture/rain/storms today...it is gonna rain a ton - so much precipitable water feels available.

95/72 in Baltimore city with feels like of 104.

JUICY

Just gonna take a flush hit from one or two of the rounds of moisture to make them right at any given part of our area. I guess we have four days for that to happen. It is, as we can ALL agree, a particular juicy airmass...

Just waves of tropical downpours for 10 minutes or so each time, and then stops, and then returns all morning into the early afternoon downtown Baltimore. Like being in Charleston, SC in August...

Wherever that shield of rain sets up this PM is gonna get a deluge - looks like eastern shore and Delaware most likely for that...

Pouring in downtown Baltimore at the moment.
