Cocorahs for stephens city has 2.78" on the past 7 days. Pretty good I'd say. Twice what we've gotten in SoMD.
-
You down near Lusby? Call Hatcher's and get a load of compost and small pine fines delivered. Once you get that done you should be all good. I've had no trouble growing just about anything in my garden. Only thing I really have trouble with is tomatoes but that's mostly a function of the trees iny yard growing so tall now that I get a lot more shade than I used to 20yrs ago.

We're up to 0.37" now. To the moon! Looking at the radar it seems to me that the big slug down in Alabama might have our name on it...eventually.
-
Checked the local Mesonet. Event cumulation totals have reached the geometric growth phase. We are almost up to 0.25" now...lol.
-
All we really need to know are the parameters of the orbit of Jupiter anyhow. JB's already on the case.
-
Lol I just looked at the GFS. Ok, maybe the STJ has opened for business. Literally the entire SE area that is currently classified under drought is covered with red heavy precip amounts the next 10days. Crazy how basically it's just an inversion of the US drought monitor map.
-
Come on guys. Where have you all been for the last two years? I wouldn't write this whole upcoming weekend off as a washout. Maybe this time they won't be wrong and the forecast will verify...but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm at the hospital with my mom in the Detroit area (Novi). Was here yesterday and a crazy intense storm blew through. It was like derecho winds. You know those large public trash bins that are made of cement and this pea gravel looking stuff always in public locations? I was watching out the window of her room during the storm and the wind blew one of them right over! They must weigh several hundred pounds. Was about 90F here yesterday. 53F today when I got to the hospital this morning, much colder.
-
LMAO at how fast we flip from chilly, windy evenings to 100F on my car thermometer on the way to DCA. Like 48hrs.
-
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.
