I went through that phase down here as well when we first moved here. I battled against it until the summer of 2012 where I finally threw my hands up and naturalized my lawn. Now I have oaks and loblolly pines 30-40ft tall covering most of my yard and what grass remains is mostly replaced by moss that stays green all summer, doesn't need mowing or watering. Plus it's a lot cooler with all the shade.

I wonder if TWC will start naming heat domes like they do winter storms? Heat Dome Aaron?

Special marine warning ALEET! Strong Sprinkle alert!
-
This needs to be brought back under control. Who's running the show at these agencies? A special marine morning with "a strong shower" and a FFW when I can't find anything more than some sprinkles within 100mi on radar. We've reached Baghdad Bob levels of forecasting. I guess if you're gonna be wrong all the time you might as well be spectacularly wrong. Get it to together, you're supposed to be pros.

The time to watch will be when the heat wave breaks. That's when I'll be on derecho watch.

It's been that way for like a year now. If they haven't caught on by now I don't think there's any hope. Every one of the CPC lookahead precip charts shows above normal precip over the entire area yet their drought map shows that drought "persists" (doesn't "remain but improve"). They're covered no matter what happens I guess.

Sure is gross out here in the city now. Even with the clouds the UHI effect is substantial.

Lmfao. There's a lot of AI crap out there but there are the occasional gems... https://open.spotify.com/track/3o0chLfv2A0jSPTEeVIqoK?si=Kq4rP4JtQyShR49gN1MLgQ

So they overpredicted on the precip? Pretty shocking actually, they've hardly been over-bullish on those calls this year...

LMAO, have fun at the DC festivities peeps, I'll be out at the cabin. Might have to actually turn the AC on out there from noon til 5pm.

Just remember folks, I called for the end-June heatwave with a derecho first.
-
Up in DC now, when do the storms arrive?
-
I've had the same thing
-
Clouded up over here in the past hour. Stay vigilant.
-
What exactly am I looking at here?
-
Not enough attention is being paid to the spreading cold blob in the North Atlantic. What it means for us, I don't know. But fear not, I have my eye on it.
-
Man over the past 2-3 days it seems like everyone's grass just gave up the ghost and is burned to a crisp. Ground is like concrete and cracking everywhere too.
-
Yup, we suck at rain. I give up, done trying to be positive. Everything sucks.
-
There's a big chunk of rain coming up from the SSW on radar. I can actually trust this sort of setup to reach us vs. coming from the West. Unless it finds yet another new way to fail after dark.
-
What is going on atmospherically East of Farmville, VA where the precip just dries up? It's really obnoxious.
-
That blob over West Virginia looks promising. But there seems to be some forcefield east of the Potomac that destroys precip as it moves across the river.
-
Extreme drought, woohoo. I wish there was some way to make electricity via dry soil. I'd be printing money.

Thank goodness it didn't hit your house! A few years ago a guy down the street had something similar - it was an easily 100ft tulip tree that was field-grown so it was just massive, in the middle of his yard. Storm blew it right over and the spread of the root ball was taller than his single story ranch home. For some stupid reason he had it all cut up. I would have at least let the root ball remain as it was so huge.
-
So you're saying we just can't know yet?
-
It's rockin' out here. I'd say the pattern has changed. We went from northern plains summer to Cambodia summer.
