Itstrainingtime

Truly finished with 1.82" - I slowly tacked on an additional tenth long after radar returns were gone from my area.

Finished with 1.72" for the event. Friday/Saturday brings a real chance at getting me to double digit totals for May. We all saw this coming back in April. Or not.

1.59" of rain for the event, 1.43" for the day. And with that, as of this moment...9.00" for the month.

Yep. His original call was for .50" - 1.00" of rain which he doubled this morning. Just hit 1.00" of rain at home. Not sure I'll add more than another couple of tenths.

0.81" of rain so far at home. What an incredibly soggy month it's been.

Up at 2:15am to take our oldest son to PHL - nice soggy trip both ways. At least traffic wasn't bad at those hours.

I got up yesterday and saw that Elliott was predicting that rain would arrive in Lanco just after the evening commute. I had to do a double take to verify that he meant yesterday. At any rate, not sure what he saw but he said we'd be wet by 9pm. Rain started at my house at 8:45pm.

Warm/hot weather lovers...it's coming: (from MU) Fortunately, the large-scale weather pattern will do a "complete 180" during the first week of June. The high-latitude blocking that developed over Greenland during the middle of May will finally vanish in the next 7 days. As a result, the persistent trough, or dip in the Jet Stream, over the eastern United States and pattern of slow-moving, upper-level lows will be replaced by faster, zonal (west-to-east) flow and even a subtle northward bulge in the Jet Stream. A subsequent warming trend will take place from Monday through at least the middle of next week, and it could be a big one. The week will probably kick off on a sunny but rather cool note with high temperatures in the mid 70s, but southwesterly flow on the backside of a high pressure system over the western Atlantic should return by the middle of the week and boost highs back into the 80s by Tuesday. While uncertain, the mercury may even make a run at the 90-degree mark at least once or twice between next Wednesday and Saturday. In addition, the large-scale subsidence, or sinking motion, associated with the high pressure system should promote much drier/brighter conditions and spell an end to our soggy pattern. However, dewpoints could climb into the uncomfortable 60s or perhaps even low 70s later in the week, so steamy/sultry conditions may replace unseasonably chilly ones within the span of just 3-5 days.

I didn't have a drop of rain yesterday.

More rain today than yesterday despite a dry forecast. 0.00" here yesterday and 0.02" so far today. Nice little shower rolled through around 4:30.

Finished with 1.49" of rainfall. After going over 8 months without a single 1" rainfall event, I've now had several over the past few weeks.

My wife gets cold too...and she knows exactly where to find her sweatshirts.

You're learning...

I find this disturbing.

I believe that the above map does not take into account rainfall since Tuesday. Each week on Thursday, a new Drought Monitor is released effective the Tuesday prior to the release. Should be further improvements in some areas next week.

1.03" here with light rain falling.

I don't think that applies with this - CTP was calling for .75" - 1.00" during the day today. I got .21" which was more than most. Adding up quickly tonight though- currently sitting at .54" with moderate to heavy rain falling.

Had a light shower at home but not enough to move the gauge past 0.00" yet. MU seems to think that today is a bust, but the developing coastal gives us a period of rain overnight.

There are many reasons/weaknesses with this team - injuries to key rotation pieces including Bradish, Wells and Rodriguez. They let Burnes walk after 2024 without anyone near his caliber. The team has a lot of holes defensively. They are horrible at situational hitting. And the bullpen isn't great either. They are a mess.

Somehow that entire complex completely missed me - just .14" for the day.

My dear wife reported very heavy rain and booming thunder at home a few minutes ago.

Has a team ever gone from a 100 loses to a 100 wins and back to 100 loses in the span of 4 years? This is bizarre. As a long-time fan I'm conditioned to failure, but even for the O's this has been an epic collapse.

Isn't Sunday supposed to be a stellar day?

I was wondering where you were. Good to hear from you.
