  1. Another day on the Steppe...
  2. It has been a pretty cool May in the east, at least.
  3. 0.3", feels like I need to build an Ark to handle so much rain.
  4. Radar still looks good for SoMD, maybe some of it will make it across the bay.
  5. Looks promising for us based on radar. Still time for it to die out when it crosses over the river though.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. What the F? Just looking at the skin on my hands you'd think it was January outside.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. At this point I'd declare a quarter inch rain event a cat 3 NESIS storm.
  12. HRRR is bullish for late tonight into tomorrow morning. I'm hopeful.
  13. 0.05" so far today. Gotta hope for a storm or two overnight.
  14. 87F it's like a blast furnace down here. Cut the lawn and everything is straw and shit is just blowing all over the place. We need some rain out of the system this week!
  15. I said I was going to take the under on that prediction when you originally said it was going to get wet. Shoulda listened to me, Happyness = Reality - Expectations. I don't see any major shift until a bit later. Maybe June or July before the SE waterhose gets directed to us. Unless we luck out with an early season tropical system. JB is on watch for that before the MDR shuts down by mid season.
  16. I went down the rabbit hole of the climate in the mid Atlantic during the Paleocene epoch, under the assumption that were slowly heading in that direction with climate. Of course there's no ironclad consensus, but the studies I read did seem to indicate that our region was drier during that time. Especially the winters were very dry with somewhat more moisture during the summer.
  17. There's a large blob of rain on the radar that would bring precip to the southern portion of the DMV, assuming it doesn't fall apart over the mountains.
  18. Steve Rudin said 0.5" to 1" tomorrow on the WJLA radio weather forecast...you can take that to the bank.
  19. This crap cold weather couldn't come at a worse time. The rubber band is going to snap back to mega heat just in time for the hottest part of the year. It's gonna be 110F DPs and derechos all the way down.
  20. Pretty much sums up the Nina precip pattern.
  21. Wth when did we become the armpit of the weather world? Was 56F and breaks in cloud cover when I left the cabin...now down here in Calvert it's 51F and solid gray. Gross breeze too.
  22. Drove in to Accident to go to the cheese shop and drove through some very heavy rain. We've had on and off rain here - got in a 3.5mile bushwhacking to The Glades earlier and avoided any rain then luckily.
  23. Radar is not looking particularly inspiring for drought relief. I planted a whole bunch of mountain laurel at the cabin yesterday and it's sprinkling right now so I'll take it.
  24. Wasn't last July the most humid July on record? We need another month like that, seems like there were thunderstorms every day that month.
  25. 34F in Huntingtown, yay we avoided the freeze. Not so at the cabin, 28F there in Swanton.
