80/61 here—it’s been a gorgeous Independence Day. my husband got some watermelon moonshine earlier so later i’ll make some adult slushies to watch the neighborhood fireworks extravaganza.

overnight low of 61, very nice. currently 75/54.

it’s the 3rd or 4th consecutive day of afternoon thunder, but maybe we’ll get some decent rain today for a change. 88 for the high today.

finally a thunderstorm overhead and it's raining. today's high was 94.

a storm missed me to the north, but it was still really loud. no rain and currently 82 from a high of 96.

today's high was 98. totally miserable day.

96/72. i’m impressed it got this hot here.

3 thunderstorms last night, the last one at 2:30 am with heavy rain and super intense lightning, too. i’ll have to check the rain total but it’s been a wet few days out here—good.

nearly 3" in the last 7 days out here. good stuff and I am guessing our drought is finally over.

the approaching storm was just warned for radar indicated 60 mph winds.

a quick .33", then this:

storm grew right overhead. torrential rain and some wind.

I'm out of propane but had decided to put off getting more. looks like it was the right decision, lol.

2.65". not enough to end the drought but at least something.

and now the sun is peeking out.

1.21" so far. the rainiest day in a long time.

.88" so far--a lot more than I was expecting this early in the day.

2.16” so far for the entire event. we need a lot more.

1.74” so far, and we need more.

the initial storm yesterday killed someone when a tree fell on a golf cart. the wind howled for a bit in that storm.

we've got just under an inch so far. round 2 came in with a HUGE bolt of lighting, followed by the power going off...and then back on. then everything calmed down.

hoping for more rain tomorrow.

just saw that a tree fell on a golf cart. CPR underway. 

the wind really was roaring earlier.

the bottom part is spinning counterclockwise and the clouds above are spinning clockwise. not great photos because it’s not visible from the first floor.

TOR tag on the Charles Town/Antietam cell

i can see the area of rotation. it’s been rotating for a while and looks like it’s forming a small wall cloud.

i’m just on the eastern edge of the warned storm in Jefferson County. the wind sounded like a freight train for a bit. i’m happy to be fringed.

Getting reports of snow flurries around the area. Currently 34.3 degrees

my husband said he saw them this morning as he was driving to Hagerstown.

only .24". very disappointing.
