Paleocene

HRRR and NAM3K like a chance of spotty thundershowers later today, but only west of 95/270, mostly in outer NOVA. Rest of us may stay dry. I didn't think I'd be worried about my tomato and zucchini garden being too damp this time of year, but here we are

I am headed to that cold pool off of Maine next week. Hope it doesn't result in me being socked in with fog!

Best lightning and thunder show we've had for a while here in silver spring. Cool storm. Not much wind where I am.

VERY dark in silver spring with bolts and loud thunder cracks. Edit: My backyard fireflies are blinking like it is 9:00 p.m. lol

Looks like the main line of JUICE from the southwest is in prince william/ and loudoun shortly. hoping for more here today than the maybe 0.25" we picked up yesterday. last major rain was last tues for this neck of the woods

Well, at least things will stay green here in the subtropics! Another day of stepping outside, and once out of the shade and into the sun, my brain going haywire signaling "get out of the sun ASAP." It's cooking out there

Just missing the rain here in Silver Spring after a shower around 1030-11am. Heavy stuff east

Huge strike and boom north downtown silver spring just now... That probably distracted a lot of folks on the beltway. Tons of energy zapping around. Here's a better shot of the poplar that got zapped on my street at 330pm. Looks like a tree bomb went off, bark scattered all over the street. Luckily my house is outside the fall radius ... But power lines and several houses aren't. Hope it doesn't fall!

We got hit pretty good (just east of DTSS)

Heavy rain here for about 20-30 minutes, nothing crazy. Lots of lightning though, and I'm pretty sure we had a very close strike. Heck of a flash and a boom, temporary power loss. I need to go investigate a bit further but I think this monster poplar tree (probably a 100 footer) down the street may have been struck. The light brown line wasn't there a few hours ago

Well this sounds exciting. The combination of appreciable instability and highly anomalous PWAT values will make storms today capable of producing very high instantaneous rainfall rates.

We also got fringed and dodged here over the weekend. Maybe a tenth. But this year (compared to last) my garden has a lot more soil moisture, so I'm letting things go for a few days and they don't seem to mind. Need rain today though or I'll be out there this evening watering.

Cooler out than in! Windows open.

HRRR less enthused with thundershowers this afternoon than it was yesterday, but there still is potential

The water in Wildwood NJ was quite nice last weekend. The surf was meh.
