I hate this time of year where the radar can look great 5 miles from you, but you are somehow sure that the whole thing will just collapse. Rocking 0.02" so far.
That is nasty work. I remember going after our holly bushes the year after we moved in. When we had the rest of them removed 7 years later it was by a crew with a front end loader. That was more efficient.
A few raindrops fell late yesterday, enough to call it a trace. Still at 0.10” on the month. DCA sitting at a T. Going to be a gut punch for whoever misses on Tuesday.
Incredibly still out there this morning. Not even a leaf at the top of a tree wavering.
The thing is, it isn't like the entire east coast has been dry. We've just been in a particularly bad spot. The ensembles aren't showing much change yet, so hopefully we can score with a couple of the frontal passages coming up.
It is already at least 94 on the 5-min obs. The north wind is better than south for heat, a shorter fetch over the water and the city before that. 80 for the low will be the record unless it rains.
