It's wild how we go from the same weather for 6 months straight (40's and low 50's) to basically summer, overnight. When I was a kid, 35 years ago we had four seasons. Now we have two. Fall and summer. 

Yup. This change happened a lot faster than I thought. We get like a week of "winter" anymore.

Next weeks looks amazing. Unless a backdoor cold front ruins it.

Looks like the forecast for rain today is turning into a moderate sized bust...and I'm ok with that.

Looks like everyone south of Mason-Dixon and east of the Blue Ridge gets sun today.

Frostburg mesonet site might get a clean pass!

Looks like I was overly pessimistic. Clearing out nicely in Maryland...our Frostburg mesonet site should get some nice solar data.

Satellite looks promising to me… question is whether the light cirrus gets in the way by 3 IMO. Can deal with that but obviously would rather not

It's really not looking good for DC and west it seems. That's a lot of low level junk streaming out of West Virginia.

In Syracuse but it definitely is looking cloudy all over NY.  If it were just me, I’d take the chance and try to swoop over to northern VT/NH, but I’m not going to put my family though that!

Try Plattsburgh?

Sub 1000 mb lows racing northeast from Ohio into NW Pennsylvania don't go quietly in the night. We could definitely see the first legit slight risk of the year Thursday.

The Pirates are 8-2. Do I dare have hope this year?

Aren't La Nina summers historically a higher risk for landfall along the east coast of the United States?

It would be cool to be at Lake Cedar just south of Carbondale, IL where "x marks the spot" from the 2017 and 2024 eclipses.  Weather looks great there too.  I wonder how rare it is to have two eclipses intersect just a few years apart?

Big astronomy is up to something.

Awesome! Any stations coming to Carroll?

I’m unwilling to make the drive that far… which may be dumb. But that’s the smart place to be! Take some cool photos.

Apologies for the spelling error. I was saying you should just go to Maine.

I still can’t tell what makes sense between a range of Columbus, OH, and around Rochester, NY. Guess I’ll wait another day before deciding!

Just go to Maine.

Edit: spelling

I wonder if a +PNA would have prevented the earthquake.

Prairie Nursery and other online nurseries have seed mixes that would probably work for that. 

Thank you!

Thank you!

Almost like a CCB on radar from central Baltimore County and points NE. If this were winter they'd be smoked with cold powder.

I just started a bunch of flower seeds for my annuals pollinator patch. Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower) which I HIGHly rec for anyone who wants to see a lot of butterflies and hummingbirds ..also zinnias (same) which I'm kinda obsessed with and started 10 types. Some cosmos. Also genovese basil, persian basil, flat parsley, dill. I may pop in some cucumbers but they usually break my heart all too soon, aaaaand I'm skipping tomatoes/other again this year.

I'm looking for a batch of native flowering seeds that I can scatter over a 100 x 100 ft area. It's slightly moist, with intermittent sun. Looking to just throw them and see what grows. Any suggestions?

More rain coming for DC? lol

Looks like the tornado watch will verify unfortunately. Several reports out of the Richmond area of homes damaged.

Kinda surprised there isn’t at least a special weather statement for this line.

I think the cool, stable surface airmass is mitigating the downward transport of wind. That line has passed over 2 mesonet sites, College Park and Baltimore City, and has not produced a wind gust greater than 10 mph.

TVS just NW of RIC on AKQ radar. Storm is currently unwarned.....
