  1. 14:00 on 7/16/19: Baltimore Inner Harbor (KDMH): 97/72 Stafford, VA (KRMN): 99/72 Fredericksburg, VA (KEZF): 95/73 RMN and EZF are both reporting full sun and have west or southwest winds, while we have some filtered high clouds so the higher temps aren't unbelievable, IMO.
  2. Two great, cheap sources of organic matter to loosen tough clay or shale soil are mushroom compost and leaf mold. You can buy them at a garden store and they come in 2 or 3 ft^3 bags for about $2.50 a bag. Purchase them in March and fork or till the material in. If you do this every year or every other year you'll notice that over the course of 2 to 3 years your soil will dramatically improve. EDIT: This is the leaf gro. Amazing stuff: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Leafgro-40-lb-Compost/3152593
  3. Need to watch this for 100° in DCA/IAD/BWI. We need widespread +25° at 850 to really maximize our potential.
  4. The old adage is, "One years seeds are three years weeds."
  5. Going to be hard to get 100 with dews above 72 degrees. We'll need 850/925 temps and no afternoon crap clouds. Hope we get it though.
  6. Went to the Beaver Dam Swim club in Cockeysville yesterday. It's an old marble quarry and a damn shame you can't fish a small portion of it. Saw a school of about bass about 17" - 20" cruising one section. Tons of huge panfish too.
  7. Really excited for this heat coming up. It should yield some great evening bass fishing up in Carroll County. Anyone here try the Whopper Plopper? Looking at getting a few and trying them out this summer.
  8. Hope we bake this week. Bring it on.
  9. Don't think we get sustained 95+...soils are wet and this has been the summer of damped down heat.
  10. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/metwatch/metwatch_mpd_multi.php?md=582&yr=2019
  11. Wonder if the MOD rainfall risk is more for antecedent conditions.
  12. 30 water calls in Montgomery
  13. NW Carroll and Adam's County getting a good soaking.
  14. HRRR is kinda uppity with rain too. My garden could use it.
  15. A lot of stationary cells firing
  16. The cluster of storms SE of Pittsburgh might be the kick for today's activity.
  17. M66 in adams morgan...legit little cell
  18. Probably can get to Westminster fireworks easy too.
