  1. Everything is growing really well in my yard, except the raspberries, which seem to have finally bit it. One thing that I am going to do this fall is do a pre-emergent. This was absolutely the worst winter weed situation we've had, despite an otherwise healthy yard.
  2. Trace so far. Hoping for that cell back west of IAD, but that one holding together is asking a lot.
  3. I based my “lower” guess on the extreme wetness across the country and how that would keep a lid on the super hot temps. However, I have no idea whether there is actually a correlation there with 100 degree days in our area.
  4. 6 hour forecast from the 3km NAM below (College of Dupage) and the actual sounding above. A bit more pronounced warm nose from 650-700mb. Biggest difference to me is that the observational sounding is a good deal drier above the surface. NAM has the Td at 850 at ~16C, and the actual is 12-13C.
  5. Hey guys, I left town for a couple of days and haven’t had much cell access today hiking around Garrett Co. Anything happ...oh come on! VP2 says 38 mph thru the trees and 0.50” rain. Still reporting so we have power, which is good.
  6. Up in the Deep Creek area. Little gusty, heavy rain, some lightning.
  7. I'm on the "just a fluke" side. The proposed mechanisms for artificial enhancement of precipitation by other means (such as pollution from cars) are likely to be seen only in certain very specific local conditions. What we are instead seeing is a continuous parade of synoptic-scale systems. Perhaps the overall Rossby pattern wavelengths are such that there is a repeated pattern on the 6-7 day timescale.
  8. Pouring at IAD. Will be using the covered walkway to the garage.
  9. Jumped almost 10 degrees here in the last 90 minutes and we still don't have much sun. 72.2
  10. About a quarter inch so far. Does look like some clearing coming in 1-2 hours via the visible satellite.
  11. The HRRR is almost never going to be able to nail the exact swaths of precip, so it is best to take it with a grain of salt. The thing that put a damper on any "fun" around DC in the 16z run was the stabilization of the atmosphere ahead of the main line, which gets killed off. 17z on CoD is already more impressive with the cells that pop up after this initial batch.
  12. Up to 72.4 here. Solar has been up above 500 W/m2 at times, but that is in comparison to >800 on a sunny day at this time of year.
  13. Occasionally getting brief bursts of filtered sun. We aren't going to lose the higher clouds, but if we can burn off the lower stuff it'll help.
  14. 0.12” and it appears I am missing the pop-ups this morning too.
