Imby/Columbia 0.31” just after midnight on Sunday morning. 3.94” so far for August.

Imby/Columbia as of 6pm — 1.3” so far this afternoon, falling over 90 mins covering 2 separate cells.

A disappointing 0.11” for 8/16 imby/Columbia. 2.22” for August thru 8/16.

That cell just south or south southwest of Urbana could be on the way, close call.

In my part of Columbia at 3 PM there is a break in the action/overcast. There are about 0.11 inches of rain. Hopefully more to come.

From 8/3 thru 8/5–am received imby/Columbia 1.70”.

Wound up with beautiful afternoon weather Sunday and Monday at Assateague Island National Seashore. Surprisingly very little rain so far.

Been lucking out overnight near Berlin, Md. with very little to no rain since arriving Sunday. Excellent beach day on Sunday. Mostly overcast and humid this morning with a few peaks of sun, but dry so far. Hazardous weather statements locally for 3’-5’ waves, rough surf and rip currents.

I can confirm that.

Yes, I’ve been noticing the past two weeks that the sun is setting sooner than mid-June when it was still technically sunny just before an 8:35/8:40 sunset. It’s definitely been noticeable to me over last few weeks, so I even checked on it. Today we are losing 1:54 minutes daily in day length. Beginning August 5 we start losing two minutes of day length daily, which increases gradually over the rest of August, getting up to 2:26 minutes of lost day length by Aug 31. The rate of decreasing daylight starts slowing down, so that by the end of September we are losing “only” 2:32 minutes daily of day length.

Imby/Columbia had 6.89” for July ‘26. Highest since 9.23” in July 2025; but honorable mention goes to May 2026 with 6.29”.

I’ll be in Berlin, Md <—> Assateague. Could change or cancel reservation no later than today but decided we’re going. Sunday & Wednesday look “fairly” decent, Monday & Tuesday questionable. But not rain all the time. I’m good with only overcast skies if it doesn’t rain all day at the beach — still getting the UV rays, may feel more comfortable, perhaps less people.

Supposed to go to Assateague Sun-Wed. Looking iffy at best after Sunday.

Columbia: 0.61” imby, 6.89” for July.
