Yup; seems like within a half hour of my outdoor obs, (minor Jebwalk ) we started to clear. Gonna adjust the window shade and hope for a T-storm.

Plenty overcast in Annapolis. Outdoor feel factor is much less uncomfortable than yesterday noon. For some reason the DP at KNAK has fallen to 70 and I believe it.

Low of 76 this morning is my highest start point this summer. If we don't get some clouds, I predict we'll hit 95, (which would be my highest temp this summer) Typical August, I suppose.

About 0.32" from the t- storm. This was the stormiest of the 3 days, tho not the wettest. Hi temp 92 today.

That first shot with the tree lodged in the space where the window used to be ....Ouch....that's weather pic of the year material.

Tall grass is a favorite. Even if you keep your boots laced up, they manage to migrate to your ankles somehow. The bites/rash hangs on for a week. Very annoying.

When it's 34f and raining. If track record is any indication.

Fairly significant rain here in Annapolis. Tiny bit of thunder.

Been steady light rain for past hour or 2, but only up to about 0.10". 73f. Making a crummy Saturday around the yard.

Don't remember what we paid, but I do recall that selling it back, (or to anyone), when preparing the house for sale, was not a good deal. Meaning...the used market is good for these if you are able to find one and are willing to remove it and install it yourself. This was about 2009/10 and I recall selling the stairlift for $500 back to the company that originally sold/installed it. There were a few on Craigslist back then, about the same price. Worth a look. Edit: Yeah, here's one in MoCo only used a few times....$500: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/for/d/olney-bruno-stair-lift-sre-2010-electra/7356894670.html

I don't think I can classify August as a nice month here. I usually tell out-of-towners that July is the hottest, but August is the most miserable. (Maybe we're just sick of it by then). (Of course, this brings up the question of what is a pretty nice month here? I dunno. But I do know that any month can get pretty crummy.)

Morning low of 61. Very nice. Had 0.24" by evening yesterday, but failed to check the gauge this morning; (brief T-storm overnight). I'd estimate about another tenth, based on the electric gauge.

July total 3.77", but mostly in the first 10 days. Pretty dry second half of the month. Lowest temp 59f. Highest 93. Somewhat cool by our standards.

I think if we could poll the group we'd find a lot with very reasonably cool high temps this year (so far). I think some of the Virginians especially. I had one 94f day at my station as the hottest, so far. 91f yesterday. Oh yeah....I'm missing plenty of T-storms too.

low 60

Low of 61f this morning. DP 60. Significant cloudiness too.

A rather weakened storm just gave us some breezy rain in Annapolis. About 1600.' Looked pretty good on radar until about 20 miles upstream from us, then started falling apart.

This occurs, (for example), in highway maintenance when roadside brush cutting crews pile their chips at the shoulder areas. I have witnessed this along multi-mile stretches in MD or VA, with multiple smoldering brush fires from different chips piles. They're not hard to control, but do get response from local FD. Also cause rubber-necking backups. (No surprise there). It's not normal; conditions have to be just right. But, it's a good reason to try not to do brush cutting in hot summer wx.

Yep; just keep telling yourself that.

Downright overcast in Annapolis for the past few hours.

Lo temp 69 this morning, so starting a few degrees cooler than the past several days. Could hit 90 (yesterday's hi) anyway if more sun/less clouds. Had 0.05" from yesterday's rain.

Seems like only yesterday.

Not weatherman burnout I hope? Remember, many good souls stand with you. ( And maybe a few bad ones.)

My Davis wx station ate up a battery, so I opened it up and found not just an ant farm, but a little wasp nest for extra measure. (Have had the ant situation before). Gonna try to upload some pics.... Looks like it worked. I used some borax based powder to prevent further attacks. This unit might be 12-15 years old, not sure. Have had to replace the main board because the early versions had a problem with battery life, and I've noticed that ant nests seem to exacerbate the situation.

Low of 66f this morning. I thought we'd get a cool-down after yesterday, but not that much. No complaints
