North Balti Zen

Damn.

Confirmed. Been a deluge in Balt City for about 30 minutes now.

Turns out watching latest Ted Lasso ep with the family while a severe storm erupts is extra awesome.

Man, that just bubbled up over my house basically and settled in for a spell.

****. That's why I never wander out of this forum. If you can stick around just in here, please do.

Just took an early morning walk and…blech. Dew point of 71 and 96% humidity . Immediately grotesque.

Came through strong in north balt city. The cloud to ground lightning as we drove back from towson to the house was noteworthy for around here. Hoping that maybe getting storms the last few days here put enough wet on the ground to blunt crazy high heat the next few days although I suppose the tradeoff may be elevated humidity.

-GHX , +FRO, hugely neutral VDW - haven't seen the likes of that combo around here since 1645. And we all know what happened then. 'nuff said.

This has been very helpful. Yup, I got some of those bites as it turns out.

75 degrees here today. Devastating heat wave, really.

What happened to the two weeks of pleasant weather we were promised?

The line held. Pouring here.

Complaining…works? We’ve backed into a much needed steady rain shower.

Yeah, gonna miss rain again. Definitely dry here now.

Dry for my 'hood in Balt City. This checks out.

Still humid as hell here. We just got some rain for about 15 minutes from the cell that was producing a potential tornado near Columbia. Sun is out. Perhaps enough juice left for a round 2?

Huh. I literally just took out a nest of that size from bushes in my front yard about a week ago. Probably cousins of those in your yard.

Ian and HM on twitter in a back and forth say cloud cover not an issue with this kind of set-up, fwiw.

I take it back. The sun lost it's battle at the harbor. Back to full clouds. it feels like the last time we had actual clearing and sun/excellent heat up my way ahead of potential storms was the Derecho. I mean, i know it hasn't been that long, but....feels like it. We sock in clouds almost 100% of the time on days like this.

It hasn’t rained here in my part of balt city in at least week - storms get painfully close then slide by.

Hazy sunshine filtering through at the inner harbor.

Glancing at radar and looping it - appears to me the MCS in Ohio doesn't screw things up really for areas south and west either (cross thread reference to LWX morning disco)

you can set your watch by the misses around here of late.

I mean - I went to Maryland Live yesterday for a poker tourney. The poker room there is on two floors - and the tourney was on the second floor. No windows. One stairwell and an elevator. I am vaccinated. Did I wear a mask the entirety of my stay in the tourney? Yes, yes I did. Would I wear my mask while outside at a sporting event? I would not. I can judge relative risk and act accordingly. What is so hard about this for some? Given the easy spread of Delta variant, despite everyone in my house being vaccinated, as well as my co-workers, still doesn't hurt me to mask up in that scenario to help reduce the already vastly diminished risk of ending up a passive carrier of the variant. Given that my wife tutors young children in the summer who are not vaccine eligible, this is, almost literally the least I could do to help. Just bizarre to get mad at people who continue to want to try and help curb the spread - even when vaccinated. Doubly infuriating because if folks had just gotten the damn shot already, we are not dealing with this on this level.
