another August overnight low in the 40s (47). just wonderful outside now.
-
77/47 for the high and low. just superb weather.
-
glorious day—an overnight low of 50, and a high of 78.
-
nothing. the storm line fell apart at the county line and now has sprung up at the VA state line. unbelievable. I don't think it's rained since I had new landscaping put in on the 5th. time to fire up the soaker hose again.
-
just the opposite here this week.
-
air quality alert for smoke issued for the entire eastern panhandle of WV.
-
a flood watch for a trace of rain here. at least it'll be dry when i go out to water everything later.
-
highest heat index of the summer today here. it’s windy and cloudy now as the storm rolls in. KMRB fell 15 degrees after the storm hit there.
-
loved to see all the lightning from this line in the distance.
-
the core of that warned storm is going to go just south of me (good). the thunder is literally rolling nonstop and there are mammatus clouds overhead (too much lighting to go outside and photograph). and now it’s pouring.
-
the low was 64 with dew points in the 50s overnight. currently 77/60.
-
79/65. off to the garden center to buy some shrubbery.
-
it was in the upper 70s with a dewpoint of 66 when I was out earlier this morning, and currently it's 78/72 with light rain. it's very pleasant out for a change.

thanks--glad you did, too.

I noticed the wind picking up after @WVclimo had said he'd seen very little wind. i think a lot of the damage was from lightning strikes on trees. there was a lightning strike on a substation very close to the apartment building which lost its roof. I wonder if NWS will send a team to investigate what happened in that part of the city--there was also a very large tree down a block or 2 from the apartment building.

tons of trees down (some from lightning strikes) and power lines yesterday in town. a senior housing building not too far from me lost its roof: https://wvmetronews.com/2025/07/17/heavy-storms-rip-through-eastern-panhandle-residents-evacuated-from-charles-town-apartment-building/ my house was right on the edge of where the worst damage was and I'm glad it missed me.
-
another storm has arrived. also there are trees down all over town from the previous storm, trees into houses across the county, and 2 reports of roof damage (not sure if from wind or trees).
-
just now--the one that just got warned for 60 mph winds.
-
total whiteout of rain outside, tons of thunder, vibrant lightning, and some gusty wnds. finally some rain--and a really close lightning strike that that blipped the power.
-
or the Eastern Panhandle
-
this is how much it rained out here:
-
i guess technically it “rained”. very disappointing.
-
84/73 and it is thundering with rain finally headed my way! it's so weird to be happy that it's going to rain.
