SBY went to 42F. Not bad. 48 at my place

If it makes you feel any better, I noted that in Sept 1983 we hit 98, 98, 100 f on the 6th, 10th, 11th. Also 94 and 92 f on the 19th and 20th. (All records). This led to the coldest Christmas we ever had hitting record mins of 4, 0, amd 2 f on Dec 24th, 25th, 26th. Also hit our coldest temp on record of -7f on Jan 22. 1983-84 was not a real snowy winter though. (14.5") all numbers from BWI.

Hurricane Dorian... Struck Hatteras NC on Friday. Dare County Schools remained closed Monday. They're back in today after a 2 hour delay. Hatteras HS had 1/3 of the roof ripped off. Other schools not too bad. Can you imagine Fairfax Co reopening only 2 days after a hurricane? They would take the week off at least. https://www.daretolearn.org/about/check-this-out/~board/district-wide-posts/post/hurricane-dorian-recovery-efforts P.S. as you might imagine, Hatteras mascot is the fighting hurricanes. (Wonder if they us the Miami U logo.)

Posters on average internet forum: "People are evacuating the shore ahead of the hurricane." "yeah, but there's some dudes from the AmWx Mid Atlantic group who are actually GOING to the shore FOR THE HURRICANE" "Wackos. SMH" ................................ Posters on AmWx : "There's a dude who's already in OC ahead of the hurricane." "Yeah, but he's thinking of actually LEAVING early FOR THE HURRICANE" "Wacko. SMH" ................. Notice the difference? (P.S. Caviman, if you bail out for this storm you will never live it down.)

30 degree hi/lo split today ... 59 to 89 f. Getting somewhat dry again too.

Nice low of 58 here this morning. I looked at my records, and find this date last year had same. Make of that what you will.

Total 0.53" from the earlier storm. (2.48 for month of Aug )

Pretty strong rain here, start about 6:45p. T&L, but not too severe. Power just went. Edit. Power back. Post was lost temporarily. Davis has over 0.30 so far. Starting to taper out.

Family reports small hail hitting in Davidsonville. I'll call it pea-sized.

Today's total 0.71"; all in the early morning. Max 82, Min 66 ...and, downright pleasant out at times. Not bad for Aug 2.

Heavy downpour when I left the house. Nothing but overcast by the time I got across the Patuxent; (about 6 miles). Tiny patch of blue sky here in Mitchellville. We'll see. Had .09" yesterday afternoon. Nothing in Bowie/Mitchellville.

July monthly total 2.93" rain Max 95 on the 21st Min 61 on the 1st

94f for today's max.

Didn't feel it, but hit 92f today. (Same as USNA so might be right) And we hooked up the hose and did a bit of watering, for the first time since ...I dunno....September 2017 maybe. Several plants looking quite droopy.

Max temp today 73. Rain .05.
