  1. visiting in-laws for a few weeks in downeast maine (northern part of frenchman bay) and it is dry as a bone here. cooked. had maybe a half inch of rain two weeks ago and since then basically nil. a dry summer for this part of the world. better than the absolute inferno that has been my home in MD tho
  2. Yep. Near bar harbor Maine, we barely hit 70 yesterday, in full sun, and evening lows are in the low 50s. Felt downright cold, like October weather in the heat island where I usually live.
  3. Looks like Sligo Creek almost hit (still may hit) moderate flood stage in Takoma Park: https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/tkpm2 Also looks like it may be a recent record.
  4. everyone in the mid-atl forum should head to maine; now. 72/52; absolute bliss.
  5. I've been in Maine for a couple days now; this part of state seems to be having the opposite pattern to us. They were very wet in April - May; but having a very dry June-July. 72/68 and foggy. Feels almost cold after the last 6 weeks in the DMV.
  6. Up in Maine and enjoying dews in the high 60s and temps in the 80s. Very hot and humid for the Mainers though..they get hot above 70°
  7. 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
  8. I am headed to that cold pool off of Maine next week. Hope it doesn't result in me being socked in with fog!
  9. Best lightning and thunder show we've had for a while here in silver spring. Cool storm. Not much wind where I am.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Just missing the rain here in Silver Spring after a shower around 1030-11am. Heavy stuff east
  14. 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!
  15. We got hit pretty good (just east of DTSS)
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Cooler out than in! Windows open.
  20. HRRR less enthused with thundershowers this afternoon than it was yesterday, but there still is potential
  21. The water in Wildwood NJ was quite nice last weekend. The surf was meh.
  22. Quick 10 minute shower here in Silver Spring but it was quite moistening.
  23. 3k NAM and HRRR have some storms popping up later today
  24. Broiling in the sun after 830am. Good lord.
  25. No real cloud cover yet but a few are popping up, on a vector NW--SE. if we stay cloudless we will cook. sky at 1145 am ish:
