    Last night's rain was perfect to mitigate transplant shock. More perennials go in this weekend. I'm thinking bubble gum pink coneflowers and dahlias.

    M1.0" yesterday RSTM2 Co-Op site. Over 3" for the month. Good bye drought.

    Let's go for Round #3.

    Here comes the DC suburbs action.

    M0.46 from Round 1. Round 2 inbound and looks solid. Exactly what the garden ordered.

    The I-795 corridor could use a good soaker. I transplanted a bunch of plants today and they need a ood soaking. The sprinkler can only do so much.

    Looks like the Hagerstown activity is Baltimore's only hope.

    Would rather we get one solid line than a bunch of piddly junk. DCAPE should revover to close to 1,000j/kg if we can manage decent sun.

    HRRR mix out bias!

    Late to the game, but added another Liatris and 2 Black Eyed Susans to the front garden. Planted about 150 Tiger Paw Aster seeds and rowed in a huge patch of Zinneas.

    Looks like the low level junk is eroding out. Seems like we're not too far behind for today. I'm planting a lot of perennials today so I really need a good soaking this afternoon.

    The watch was entirely justified, IMO. Yesterday was one of those days where not everyone gets a storm, but if you get under one you're in trouble. Ridiculous CAPE and modest shear plus a bay breeze boundary or two = wet microburst potential. Honestly surprised there wasn't a tornado watch further northeast in PA. Some of the pictures coming out of there are rather impressive. Site build homes from the 70s with total failure of rooves and brick walls.

    That was my first cradle to grave damage assessment. I was in the Emergency Operations Center and started to map out the initial damage points. It became pretty clear within about 30 min we had a tornado. Got out the next day at 7am with NWS to start looking at it.

    Not much longer. Also getting the pending Maryland Mesonet will get some additional data as to what's coming your way.

    CAMs look disappointing for the overnight. Looks like that's all she wrote folks.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    When you get damage reports out of Carroll County, you know it's a big storm.

    Baltimore City cell has significant downburst signature. Also looks like a bit of a right mover.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    That cells spinning on all the radars and even the terminals our of BWI and PHI. 100% needs that TOR.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Tornado Warning SE Lancaster County until 7:30 pm. Obvious signs of rotation on CTP, LWX, DOV, PHI radars as well as the terminal dopplers out of BWI and PHI. 100% justifies the warning.

    We're so gonna waste solid parameters because of no lifting mechanism. We almost always fail somehow.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    Latest HRRR (20z) is pretty abysmal for any storm chances this evening.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    RSTM2 here, got M1.81" yesterday. Score!
