Deluge in Ellicott City, id stay away from the historic area. Surprise surprise, another softball practice cancelled. Kids cant get any consistency.

I'm soaking up the warmth and sunlight before whatever the GFS is showing hits us. Parade of GL lows is replaced by gulf lows?

Definitely good advice. We unfortunately had to cut down some big oaks because they died and now our sunroom is really a SUN room in the afternoon. To the point we are spec'ing out shade material. We have re-planted some trees but I will probably be dead before they get big enough to help. Hopefully they work for the next people that own this house haha.

Long term solution is to add insulation / figure out why that room is so warm. Do you have central AC now? If so, there might be something wrong with the duct supplying that room. Loose fitting, hole in supply pipe, etc. Or it could be an undersized supply. If its undersized your best bet is add insulation. Is there an attic above? Unfortunately I have found very few HVAC contractors that really know how to design/balance a system. The one I used when I built my "better than energystar" house is out of Annapolis and you are probably out of their service range. Short term your best bet is the portable AC units with the two tubes that go into the window opening. If you want to save some $ try FB marketplace (now is probably not the time, fall/winter is best to find deals). I have no answer to the breaking within 2 years other than small appliances are a crap shoot these days. Ive had some break quick and others last. Last option would be to install a dedicated mini split unit for that room. It will be a big upfront cost but should last 10+ years and are very quiet. Again, I would think the insulation / duct troubleshooting would be cheapest/best.

GL Low after GL Low, sit and spin.

Yea, when we see the sun. The GFS sits a low over us for multiple days of showers and rain. Send that junk up to NE and extend their mud season.

This is bad for those who want normal summer weather right? I could do with a week or two with minimal precip and some toasty temps.

new phone who dis?

Just enough thunder in western hoco to postpone our already rescheduled softball game.

Yea we torch for a couple days then its back to rain chances for a week.

Cecil county sure has a hot mess of alerts and social media. I couldn't access their facebook as a guest, had to use my burner account. I can't believe they would make NWS send something like that out. Irresponsible in my opinion and a reason why people start ignoring alerts and warnings. @Eskimo Joe whats your take?

Dont worry the wildfire smoke will mute the June/July melt.

Forecast is looking a little better... lets hope it keeps trending towards DRY.

Looks like another wet period coming up: EDIT: Also looking at the temp anomalies, the next three weekends are all way BN.

You are correct. I guess the cooler periods stand out more because of the effect on outdoor activities. I think it was wxusaf who said we are either torch or cold, not getting the actual "average" of the month.

Never? I feel like ever since that epic Feb forecast bust we've been living in this bad pattern. Other than that week or so of toasty weather we've been mostly wet and chilly. Bring on the drought and heat! I'm ready for wildfire smoke and 80+ dews.

Nothing like trying to grill Mothers Day lunch while standing under an umbrella.

Dont look now but heres next weekend:

This weather blows. Made for a chilly wet round of golf and cancelled my outing to Six Flags. Kids are bummed. Softball fields probably wont dry out for tomorrow either so even more games to make up. I know we can't change it but damn I want to vent. We need to shift the calendar so these crappy days fall during the week.

They at least get sun... This is like a bad combo of southeast asia humidity/rain and pac nw clouds.

I'd rather drought than waste weekends with this crud. Send in the tumbleweeds!

Last saturday was cold and wet for softball and looking like the same this saturday. Wish our precip would line up with weekdays!

Is this something that can be crowdsourced? If the admin/mods dont have the time or knowhow, I'm sure someone who uses this forum knows. I would think in this day and age whatever software is running this board would have a dark theme built in...

Grass in the median of the highway is turning brown. I'm flip flopping on my drought stance!
