0.04” on the day, 0.11” on the month. Brutal.
-
0.08” in June so far, including 0.01” so far today.
-
Gotta get a hit today.
-
The Euro output in upstate SC is something. Here’s hoping tomorrow pans out for many of us.
-
Good news. Now it will rain!
-
0.01” is a nice complement to the 0.06” from the other day.
-
With the pattern next week, we are likely looking at a negative May and June departure. Very refreshing. Hopefully we can keep that rolling and have a 2004-like summer.
-
Yeah, if we can get a nice slow moving trough/cut-off next week, it would be much harder to fail precip-wise.
-
I let my grass go dormant last summer. A lot of it didn’t come back. Still not going to water.

Special for @mattie g https://wtop.com/local/2023/06/drought-monitoring-triggered-on-potomac-river-drinking-water-backups-could-be-tapped/

0.05”. Wind feels nice, though.
-
That closing band looks pretty anemic right now. 0.04”
-
0.01”. Now we’re rolling.
-
T so far. The stuff coming in from the SW looks light. Going to have to rely on the development later and that might be hit/miss.
-
Actually had a few sprinkles from that. Problem is that the air quality is worse on the east side and it is moving west.
-
Definitely better out there now than this morning. Still gross, but less so.
-
It is so much worse than yesterday. Wow.
-
More so the northerly flow. The gulf has not been open this year.

The only good news today for us is that the HRRR-Smoke model wants to shunt the absolute worst of the stuff in NY state right now off to our NE, affecting Philly and NYC.
-
I’ve seen a lot of people with masks, which makes sense. Driving into work felt like I was in 1970s LA.
-
It really just hits you immediately upon going outside. This is as bad as I can recall.
-
Keeps getting worse to our northeast

Here's some fun science for you. Top and bottom images below are from this morning in Quebec. You can clearly see the fires to the west of the cloud cover in the top image. Two hours later you can see that a field of small cumulus clouds have developed only in the fresh smoky areas. It is very likely that the soot is acting as cloud condensation nuclei to help the cloud development. This is a different process from fire-related pyrocumulus which have the additional impact of the heat created by the fires.

At this time of year, the average precip at BWI is 0.14", so I'm sure Tom T was just waiting for the day where we finally fell behind. If he phrased the Tweet as simply year-to-date instead of a particular number of days, it wouldn't have seemed as arbitrary.
