I heard that, overall, this part of the country is supposed to get wetter.

I wonder if this is a Niña induced blip or if another switch flipped and now it’s going to start raining less like how it’s now snowing less?

This is the time of year when it’s just a nuisance. If we had this pattern 6 months ago on the other hand…

Didn't say it was going to be a good winter.

Sun angle, things crisp faster in the warmer months.

Get used to the cold west coast/warm east coast setup. That's the norm in winters with the current analogs.

Looking at tropical tidbits there likely wont be any real chance for rain until around Halloween.

Makes me wonder if the Niña will cancel out and we’ll be neutral?

You underestimate the number of weenies in denial.

I expect this year’s panic room thread to be a busy one.

I wrote off this winter and next winter months ago.

The previous Nina was over for months by late April 2023 yet the dryness persisted.

Has anyone noticed that, with the exception of the winter and spring of this year, every time it looks like the dry pattern is going to change it doesn't? Last year there was a huge rain event in late April that appeared on models to usher in a wetter pattern, but instead it was followed by nothing at all and a super dry May erased any improvement. A similar thing happened last fall and most recently the rain stretch 2-3 weeks ago. Did we swap climates with California sometime in the winter of 22-23?

Looking at tropical tidbits, there might not be any more rain this month.

I wonder if 2003, 2009/10, and 2016 masked that to the untrained observer?

I hope everyone liked the 10-12 days of measurable rain because per the weather forecasting services there might not be any more for more than 2 weeks.

Oktoberfest and Halloween discussions welcome

It's actually going to feel like fall this time around.

Clippers get weakened by the Appalachians anyway.

A week that ends on Wednesday?

I don’t know, Sandy still gave us a good bit of rain.

Is there something about our geography that causes stuff like this and sometimes nor’easters to dry slot us?

5 day qpf is pretty optimistic for at least an inch around metro Baltimore. Even more around the city itself.

I mean 2018 being the wettest year, Isaias turning into a Nor’easter right over us in 2020, temps in the single digits on Christmas Day 2022 certainly isn’t what one has in mind in regards to nothingburgers.

The models showed the eastern shore getting skunked rather consistently.
