Scarlet Pimpernel

Congrats to you (and her)...and best wishes in your new life together!!!

I can see the Ji Meltdown Zone from my house (if this were winter)!!!

Is this what the Reaper is doing in retirement to earn a few extra bucks? A graveyard greeter...sort of like a Wallmart greeter!!! (You can welcome people by saying "Good Morgue-ning!!)

Thank you for this, I was thinking exactly the same thing. This potential was showing up in much of the guidance going back to Sunday or Monday as I recall. And it was mentioned in discussions even at that time. I was a bit surprised that LWX was still being optimistic holding off any real mention of rain for awhile, but I guess they wanted to keep the then-longer range forecast consistent and the same until there was a better indication in the guidance. And they did actually allude to the uncertainty and possibility of a Nor'Easter type system for the latter part of this weekend.

Well, I hope/think much of Saturday should be OK from what I've looked at across much of the area. I know where you're coming from, as I, myself, am planning to go to the MD Renaissance Festival again on Saturday. I won't be surprised if there are a few light or brief showers in the afternoon (which wouldn't be too horribly bad) but it seems like the more consistent and heavier rain would hold off until Saturday evening and beyond. At least hopefully!

Happy Belated, @WxWatcher007!!! I would ask how old you are, but we all know the Reaper is AGELESS!!

Aye, laddie! Grab yourself a few drams of single-malt Scotch, call everyone a bastard, and... oh wait! You said ENGLAND! Sorry, my bad! My Scots-Irish background got in the way! But seriously, I hope you have a fun time there! I've been to England/Scotland a couple of times years ago (mainly London and Edinburgh). It was great, and I hope to go back again sometime! I do recall that at various local pubs, I never had the same beer twice!

A belated happy birthday to you, mappy!!! I hope you had a good one! Everyone deserves something good on their birthday, that's my philosophy and belief.

...or a Guardians fan!

Now that the summer solstice has just passed, I begin to wonder...when does the sun angle no longer allow for near triple-digit temperatures or hotter?? I'm guessing maybe...around Dec. 21 typically???

It's over. Winter cancel!

You know...I heard someone joke once (maybe it was a comedian?) that we should live our lives in reverse. Start out dealing with death, then go through any pains of old age (get off my lawn!), then have a regular job with a good salary, then party it up in college, deal with high school, then be a kid again without any real worries, be a toddler not having much knowledge of anything, and finally...end your life as an orgasm!

I'm worried that as soon as the heavy snow rates start, we'll be right near the back edge and it won't be anything more than a low-end advisory event that will melt by Thursday morning... ... ... Oh wait, sorry, I was stuck in January again!! It's May 12th, please proceed as normal!!

LOL indeed...though to be fair (and trying not to tread the politics line too much!) using "Gulf of America" is almost certainly a requirement now, no matter what one may think of that terminology. I suppose one can get around it by simply saying "the Gulf region" or something like that. Getting back on the topic of weather, this upcoming soaker is much needed (obviously!). Will be interesting to see how some of the heavier amounts work out.
