One blob of clouds over the eastern US and it's literally shaped like Maryland and on top of us.

Driving home from piano today it seriously looks like September outside. The leaves are either drought stressed or just stunted due to the cold. Looks like late summer, not spring.

Sure is tough to string together a couple nice, sunny, non-windy days.

Another day on the Steppe...

It has been a pretty cool May in the east, at least.

0.3", feels like I need to build an Ark to handle so much rain.

Radar still looks good for SoMD, maybe some of it will make it across the bay.

Looks promising for us based on radar. Still time for it to die out when it crosses over the river though.

Yeah that's pretty much it ..our savior isn't going to come from the NW, it's gonna have to come from the SE. Maybe we'll have another record humid July with thunderstorms every day. It is good to see the extreme SE starting to get consistent precip. Eventually one will come north to hit us. I do watch the anomalously cold waters in the North Atlantic and wonder about those. It's been pretty persistent. No idea what that means for us and summer though.

Until there's an event that originates from the SE on this side of the mountains it's gonna be disappointment for us. I've given up even one iota of hope from any frontal passage coming in from the NW.

What the F? Just looking at the skin on my hands you'd think it was January outside.

I'm getting 2012 vibes...drought til June, then insane heat, a derecho event followed by Seattle rain for the latter half of the summer.

Another day, another forecast bust by the pros. Local mesonet says 0.01". I got more than that in my yard but still not enough to even soak through the leaf layer on the ground.

At this point I'd declare a quarter inch rain event a cat 3 NESIS storm.

HRRR is bullish for late tonight into tomorrow morning. I'm hopeful.
